Xbox One Launch Live Stream Event Featuring Macklemore (WATCH)

We're only a few short hours away from one of the most highly anticipated moments in next-generation gaming with Microsoft's release of the Xbox One. With so much hype surrounding the launch, the people at Microsoft have decided to treat the launch of their console like the party that it is.

Microsoft and Xbox will be broadcasting the event via a live stream HERE starting at 11 p.m. ET (8 p.m. PT).

Macklemore, Ryan Lewis and deadmau5 are just some of the popular names that will be helping the company celebrate the launch of the Xbox One to fans across the world.

The show will be taking place at New York City's best Buy Theater. When the doors open, the first 1,000 fans who line up outside and purchase an Xbox One Console or game will win access to the show live. Can't make it to New York? Have no fear because Microsoft will be kicking off a similar event at Milk Studios in L.A.

If you're unable to actually be there live for any of these events, don't worry. With an active internet connection or cable you can watch all these events HERE on xbox.com or on Spike TV.

All those looking to attend either the New York or L.A. events live can start lining up at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. respectively.

Purchase of an Xbox One console or game is required for entry. If you're not going to be able to drop the full $500 on a console today, you can still get in by dropping $60 on one of the popular launch titles listed below, via IGN.
