Microsoft announces that it plans to launch a massive event before its next-gen console is available on sale, called Xbox One Countdown To Launch, which will be streamed for all those interested from both New York and Los Angeles starting with 11 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, November 21.

The official Xbox news service explains that, "Watch in horror as our “Dead Rising 3” zombies descend on Times Square, enjoy interviews with fans and game developers, check out gameplay from highly anticipated Xbox One titles."

The events will be offered on Xbox.com, via Xbox Live but also on Spike TV, Spike.com, GameTrailers.com and the GameTrailers App.

The Xbox One will only be offered in 13 core territories on November 22, for the price of 499 dollars or Euro.

The rest of the world will have to wait until 2014 to buy one of the new Microsoft devices.
