In-store demos “better show off” device.
Microsoft might compare Kinect’s arrival to that of a console, but HMV won’t open any shops at midnight to welcome it to the UK next Tuesday.
“We are focusing on in-store demo events rather than midnight launches as we feel these will better show off Kinect’s amazing capabilities to the public,” HMV explained to Eurogamer.
Those comments arrive moments after GAME confirmed overwhelming support for Kinect’s UK launch, promising to open a combined 450 shops at midnight across the country.
