Kinect Disneyland Adventures, Kinect Star Wars, Kinect Sports Season 2 and Dance Central 2 will be touring the UK as part of this year’s Kinect UK tour, beginning September 29 at the Metro Centre in Gateshead.

The tour visits London, Newcastle and the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham. Kinect demos will also take place at Disney on Ice shows and at retail stores across the UK between October and March 2012.

Consumers are able to book their personalised experience today using the Facebook booking tool and interactive tour map at facebook.com. Groups of up to five friends can play one of four games together prior to release: Kinect Disneyland Adventures, Kinect Star Wars, Kinect Sports Season 2 and Dance Central 2.

On arrival all visitors will be given the option of using an RFID wristband which will allow the Your Kinect Facebook application to link the visitor’s experience to their Facebook profile allowing personalisation of their experience by easily sharing everything they see via Facebook, from photos and videos to other content by swiping their wristbands at various points in the booth.

During weekends visitors at the Your Kinect Experience booth will also get the chance to get hands on with the latest update to Windows Phone, which features even more integration with the Xbox LIVE service.

All consumers who take part in the trial will also be given an exclusive discount offer to buy a Kinect for Xbox 360 bundle in time for Christmas.
