Remember how we always keep on bitching about gamers up north in Delhi keep getting lucky with game events being held on a regular basis? Seems like our Mumbai brethren are soon going to join the must-envy list for us poor souls down here at Bangalore.

Quick on the heels of the Xbox India’s “Biggest Gamers’ Night Ever!” and Sony’s Playstation Experience, Mumbai is going to host yet another party in form of the launch of a brand new Xbox Lounge! The official invitation in our hands tells us that on 7th December 2007, the Xbox Lounge is being launched by Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division in collaboration with MobileStore, India’s largest chain of mobile phone retailers. Mr. Rajiv Agarwal, CEO and Director, ‘The MobileStore Ltd’ and Mr. Mohit Anand, Country Manager, Microsoft E&D India will be there to do the honors and address the media.

We also have news that the launch will not be limited to a Mumbai launch but will be rolled out across India. We are pretty sure that the Xbox Lounge will meet with great success over in Mumbai and it is only a matter of time before we get to see such lounges all across India. So while you lucky guys attend the event, I will have to be content with keeping an eye on the MobileStore across the road.

Authors Note: Apparently, Mumbai has been host to an Xbox 360 Lounge since May 25th, 2006. More details can be found at Animationexpress.
