The massive gaming event will be the one of the first chances the public will have to test-drive the Xbox 360 before the launch of the console on December 2nd.

The marathon 57 hour game fest will be used by Microsoft to showcase a range of forthcoming titles for the Xbox 360, including Dead or Alive 4, Project Gotham Racing 3, Kameo: Elements of Power and the highly anticipated Perfect Dark Zero.

Craig Fletcher, Managing Director, Multiplay, commented "i26 is three weeks before the official launch of the console and will give our participants, as well as spectators, the ideal opportunity to get to know the Xbox 360 before the Christmas rush", he continued "We're pleased to continue our relationship with Microsoft and Xbox, they have always caused a storm at the i-Series before and I'm sure this event will be no different!"
