XL 2007 New Venue Confirmed!!!
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF MATCHBOX360 XL...WELCOME TO THE OMEGA SEKTOR!!!
  MatchBox360 XL continues to set the standard for Xbox and Xbox 360 eSports tournaments throughout the UK and Europe in 2007. We are delighted to announce the addition of the Omega Sektor to the portfolio of premier venues that will be utilised for XL.  Located in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, the Omega Sektor will become the largest dedicated LAN centre of its kind in the UK. With approx 400 PCs and Xbox 360 consoles available over 2 floors on site, MatchBox360 XL events at the Omega Sektor will be a gamers paradise with even more consoles and games at your fingertips! The state of the art venue is the ideal opportunity for MatchBox360 XL to showcase exclusive game titles, as we will be featuring more Xbox 360 gaming tournaments throughout the year including Gears of War, Pro Evolution Soccer, Rainbow 6 Vegas, and more!!! Have your say on what Xbox 360 games you’d like to see featured at XL in 2007 in the MatchBox360 XL forum.  The Omega Sektor will also feature fully customised gaming zones, a TV studio with tricast facilities enabling MatchBox360 XL event feeds to be broadcast live, and a number of screens around the venue displaying live feeds. You will also be able to watch the players in action on stage with 8 screens displaying gameplay as it happens from each players viewpoint! With an onsite cafe providing light refreshments, the Omega Sektor also provides MatchBox360 XL with the perfect city centre location with Birmingham’s high street stores and services right on the doorstep...with food outlets just 60 seconds away the gaming action including: McDonalds Burger King Kentucky Fried Chicken Pizza Hut Subway Greggs Oh yeah...and for those in need of a quick pint, there’s also a pub directly opposite the venue!   With both the Omega Sektor and NEC Toute Suite available to MatchBox360 XL, we will be providing a variety of customised Xbox and Xbox 360 tournaments on a regular basis throughout 2007. As you may already know, we decided to push back our scheduled event in February for the benefit of the community. Full details of forthcoming XL events will be announced as soon as possible. More information on the Omega Sektor can be found using the following links: Hexus ESReality

I just got a call to say the Omega Sektor was just featured on BBC Midlands Today News but I only caught the last few seconds of it. I'd imagine it will be repeated this evening so tune in at 6:30pm if you're local. Will post a link up for all those outside the Midlands.

nope, it shouldn't grad, more people that it can fit in, the more income is, so you don't need to pay as much, so it sort of balances itself out really

Well it doesnt work like that, the bigger it is the more money it would cost to rent it as it is bigger. And i imagine somewhere like that would cost quiet a bit more than the previous.
