News Article Title : Xbox Live European Launch Date Date Added : 2002-10-14 04:27:53 Microsoft releases the European launch schedule for Xbox Live. Microsoft has released some details on its plans for Xbox Live in Europe slightly in advance of the company's X02 press event, which is being held in Spain today and tomorrow. Xbox Live's European retail launch will take place on March 14, 2003. On October 30, Microsoft will kick off a closed beta test in the UK, France, and Germany with 3,000 testers selected from the public. An "open test" will run from November 30 to the retail launch. European Xbox owners will need a starter kit that will cost 39.99 pounds (about $62 or 63 euros) and will include the software and peripherals needed to run Xbox Live and two bundled games. Last week at the Tokyo Game Show, Microsoft announced that Xbox Live would launch in Japan on January 16. The US launch is scheduled for November 15. |
