14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently announced a partnership with Best Buy to open 500 new stores in several key locations in the United States, thus trying to bring its products, including Windows 8 and Surface tablets, closer to buyers.
The company has revealed that the first store-within-a-store will open today at the West Los Angeles Best Buy shop and will bring special gifts to the first 200 people who step inside.
“The first 200 customers to demo a Windows 8 device in the Windows Store Only at Best Buy will receive a wristband for a chance to meet Clint Mathis, former U.S. Men’s National Team and LA Galaxy player and Mauricio Cienfuegos, former El Salvador Men’s National Team player and LA Galaxy player, along with two tickets to an upcoming LA Galaxy game and a free signed soccer ball,” the company says.
Similar stores are expected to open in the next couple of months, with Microsoft planning to continue its effort in Canada too. Approximately 100 Best Buy and Future Shop locations in the country will provide access to the latest Microsoft products.
