The people of Scotland will get some recompense for the plagues of midges and heart disease they endure, with the news that the people of Glasgow will be among the first in Britain to get their hands on the new Xbox 360. The 360 Hour Tour starts this Friday in Glasgow, and will also visit Birmingham and Leeds before ending up in London village on November 25, just a week before the console launches in this country.

Featured games confirmed as playable are Kameo, Project Gotham Racing and Perfect Dark Zero. If you’re planning to visit the bus crammed with Xbox 360 demonstration kits, here are the dates that you can sneak a peek and a play at a town near (or perhaps not so near) you:
