The Xbox Live Gaming Centre previously reported by Games Toaster, is now up and running in Dublin. The rates are apparently 5 euro per hour off-peak, 6.50 euro after 6pm weekdays, and 7.50 euro on peak at weekends. According to the company, it's the first Xbox multiplayer games café in Europe.
“Just back from the opening of a pretty amazing new gaming venue in Dublin's South William Street. 40 Xboxes, most of them 360s, are arranged in the 'Xbox Live Gaming Centre' a few doors down from the Indian restaurant with that guy who always stands outside. The layout is plush with comfy armchairs, couches and other seats” notes yourtechstuff.com, the tech blog of Sunday Business Post journalist Adrian Weckler.
Meanwhile, the RTE Online gaming section quotes Tony Murray, MD of the centre, as saying, "We plan on offering this great service across Ireland with a number of centres opening throughout the country in the coming months".
UPDATE: Yesterday, Gamedevelopers.ie also published an article about the centre and its opening night. They note that the operator, Multiplay, was set up by Frank O’Grady (Screenclick.com) and Dylan Collins (DemonWare).
