Xbox One will be playable at EB Expo

Microsoft will be offering Aussie gamers a chance to get up-close-and-personal with its upcoming Xbox One console at the 2013 EB Expo.

During the Xbox Presentation held at the inaugural PAX Australia, a Microsoft representative revealed that the company will be bringing 100 Xbox One consoles to the event for hands-on play by consumers. No details have been confirmed on which Xbox One games will be made available.

In a statement posted on the retailer’s EB Expo website, brand engagement and events manager Debra McGrath said, "We are thrilled that EB Games and Microsoft are combining forces to give gamers a chance to get hands on with the Xbox One at this year’s EB Expo. We hope that this glimpse of the future is as exciting to the gaming public as it is to us. We can’t give away too much just yet, but watch this space for more huge announcements in the coming weeks."

EB Expo will take place from October 4-6 at the Sydney Showgrounds. The Xbox One will go on sale in Australia this November.
