Not many more sleeps left until Atomic Live on December the 8th. Can you feel the excitement? We sure can. Everyone here is running around like a pack of monkeys on speed, making Live quite the event. Every day we’re hauling in cool new stuff and every day I’m blown away by the scale of what we’re doing. Trust me on this, Live is going to be huge.
We’ve got 20 exhibitors from all corner of tech. Come along and see, touch and play with seriously cool gear. Every exhibitor too is having giveaways, with a major prize from each.
Microsoft’s rolling up with its famous Xbox Ute, there will be loads to play with and perve at. And how’s this for cool: come along and have a play of Project Gotham 3 on Xbox 360 and the fastest laptime on the day WINS an Xbox 360 and five Xbox 360 games. There’s a stack of game prizes for the 20 runners up too. There’s no registration required for that comp so come along and give it your best shot, and even if you don’t take away the prize it’s a golden opportunity to sample Xbox 360. Very sweet.
Through the day will be presentations in the Live Auditorium, among the highlights is AMD’s presentation of future CPU technology and Microsoft’s launch of Visual Studio Express.
The place will be buzzing, and as excited as we all are about just how much fun it will be, the best buzz is knowing that we’ll get to meet a whole new bunch of Atomicans, and we hope you’re there too to say hi and have a chat.
Come for just an hour or stay the whole day, however you choose to experience Live we are confidant you’ll have a great time.
