Achievement Unlocked

The Xbox One or the “1X“, as fans are calling it, has been released to the public at midnight on Friday, November 22, 2013! Being huge fans ourselves, the Dinosaurus Rex Team was there to join the rest of the Xbox addicts  in celebration of the launch day.

The launch party was hosted at 99 Sudbury Street in the downtown Toronto area and was marked by a giant sized Xbox — it was the size of a building — and a Maserati from Forza Motorsports® 5 was parked out front.

The interior of the venue was covered with both games and gamers alike. You could spot all the newest titles for the 1X, including the one I’m most interested in – Ryse®: Son of Rome. It’s going to be AWESOME! In addition to the wall-to-wall gaming atmosphere, there was also opportunities to buy a special “Day One Xbox” which had a steady line of eager fans purchasing this Xbox, some gear and of course some games all through the night.

Just when we thought things couldn’t get more interesting, a battle between some Barbarians and Spartans broke out! Lucky for us. the Spartans were victorious — not that I had any doubt — and we got to take some photos with them.

Shout outs to the event crew who arranged to have the Dinosaurus Rex name put on an official launch day T-shirt. This is one “Achievement Unlocked”, that I can’t wait to show my jealous gamer friends.

If you’d like to try out the Xbox in all its glory, head on down to the dedicated XBox One storefront located on  11 Bloor Street West which will remain open until December 29, 2013.
