[XBox] Microsoft to hold special early launch event in Times Square. First Xbox sales planned.

Begining at 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14, the Xbox will be up for grabs in Times Square.

The event, being held at the Toys R Us store in Times Square (located on 44th and Broadway), will host Microsoft founder and CEO Bill Gates himself who be on hand for the first sale of the console. According to our source, print and radio ads will also be circulating around New York City in a mere matter of hours, encouraging potential Xbox buyers to line up for the system. Lines are to begin forming at 6:00 p.m. (EST), with the first official sale of the console at 10:00 p.m. (EST)

Because of the nature of the Xbox launch, this event is exclusive to the Times Square Toys R Us, and will not be taking place at any other location.
