Xbox fans anxiously awaiting the arrival of the One have no doubt had November 22, 2013 circled on their calendars for quite a while now, but before the console itself becomes available to consumers, Microsoft is teaming up with Spike TV and GameTrailers to take you inside the biggest launch party in Xbox history.
Broadcasting from New York and Los Angeles, The Xbox One Countdown to Launch special will be airing on Spike TV, Spike.com, GameTrailers.com, the GameTrailers App, Xbox.com and Xbox Live beginning at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on Thursday Nov. 21.

Consumers are a big part of the party and here's a description of the evening's events courtesy of Microsoft.
In the U.S., the ultimate midnight celebration will take place in Times Square in New York City. The world of Xbox One will come to life as zombies, Roman soldiers and supercars converge on the Best Buy Theater, where awaiting fans will be among the first in America to receive their consoles and countdown to midnight with great games, entertainment and special surprises.
