Xbox FanFest at E3 2016 detailed with 500 lucky fans’ chance for gaming swag plus a week-long Xbox One offer

Microsoft has followed up on its announcement of another Xbox FanFest 2016 in time for E3 2016. The show will be kicking off at 9:30 a.m. PDT come June 13.

The show can be viewed via the Xbox.com website, Xbox social channels like the Xbox Twitch Channel, YouTube and Facebook Live as well as Xbox Live Events players on the Xbox One and Xbox 360. There’s also the Xbox E3 2016 Briefing on Spike TV for those who are in the U.S. and Canada, set to air at the same time.

For attendees of the event, Microsoft is giving the same experience as last year to 500 fans. Those who are taking part will have to meet a few criteria like last year—be over 21 years old, have an Xbox Live gamertag and have a ticket to the event. Those who do can go to the Microsoft store at Westfield Century City in Lost Angeles on June 11 at 10:00 p.m. to line up.

For those who are lucky, they can get credentials for those who came to the meeting place first, which they can then claim Xbox FanFest tickets the next morning, as per the Xbox Wire.

So what will Xbox fans get for being one of the 500 chosen ones? It includes entry to the Xbox E3 2016 Briefing, a backpack full of gaming stuff and attendance to some cool events. On June 13, they can attend a special Forza Motorsport even at the Petersen Automotive Museum. The day after, there’s a “Fan Celebration” event happening at the Premiere House at Regal LA Live, and those lucky 500 get to be a part of it.

Before E3 2016 hits, fans can check out a new offer for an Xbox One. GameStop and Best Buy are both offering a new deal until May 28, which is meant to make the Xbox One console appeal even more. Fans can now get an Xbox One bundled with a game of their choice.

According to GameSpot, the main restriction to the choice of game is that it cannot be above US$60 (approx. AU$83) and it cannot be a preorder title. The source added that fans can also avail of the free game for Xbox One consoles that are bundled with other titles, so it essentially offers another game for free.
