New Gaming Center in Dublin
Just back from the opening of a pretty amazing new gaming venue in Dublin’s South William Street. 40 Xboxes, most of them 360s, are arranged in the ‘Xbox Live Gaming Centre’ a few doors down from the Indian restaurant with that guy who always stands outside. The layout is plush with comfy armchairs, couches and other seats. 7 or 8 different games are networked in groups of between three to six for multi-player events.
YourTechWire has more. And here’s an RTE story all about it. I’m impressed. Can’t find website link though.
