Microsoft Stores Surface Challenge Midnight Launch Event

Starting at 10 p.m. on the
evening of Oct. 21st, local consumers will get the chance to be among the first
to check out the new Surface devices, as well as take part in the Surface
Challenge, where contestants will go head-to-head in a series of fun games for
a chance to win dozens of prizes. One lucky winner and a guest from each
participating store will win a trip to Orlando to see Pitbull perform the
following evening
.

Roger Craig, former 49ers
football player, will be in attendance


to support the launch. Craig is a retired NFL running back who won three Super
Bowls in the 1980s while playing with the San Francisco 49ers with Joe Montana
and Jerry Rice.

Attendees are encouraged to
join the event in advance at the Microsoft Store Facebook page. At the event, they
will have the chance to win dozens of other prizes as well as be among the
first to check out both Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 along with the latest
accessories before they’re available to the public on Oct. 22. In addition to
the 10 midnight launch events, the remainder of the more than 70 Microsoft
retail stores will be holding events and giveaways to celebrate the new Surface
later this month. Details will be posted at http://www.microsoftstore.com as they become
available, or people can visit their local Microsoft retail store to find out
more.
