First Microsoft store opens grandly with giant TV

by Justin McElroy { Oct 22nd 2009 at 2:45PM }

Even if you're not in the market for a Surface or a Zune, it might be worth stopping by the newly opened first Microsoft Store in Scottsdale, Arizona. That's where you'll be able to play in the gaming section, which sports a ocular-orb-overloading 93-inch screen. Which is pretty good. If you like big screens.

If you look really hard, we'll bet you might even find a copy or two of Windows 7. Maybe.

This is hilariously near me.

My roommate's 360 is hilariously dying.

You do the math.

Close store + dying Xbox = you're a deuche.

I thought it was a funny joke... he has a best buy plan for it....

I've always heard that it's not the size of your screen...

Only guys with small screens say that...

I have a 73" 1080p and wish I had gone with the 82". HDTV doesn't look too big when it's on a big screen TV, but it can definitely look too small. 50" TV's are a joke now. Literally.

@muck
You're the joke you TV elitist.

Apple counters with a 93" iMac.

Ryan H @ Oct 22nd 2009 3:26PM

The site says it's a 94 inch screen.
Why sell them short on an inch?

mycbrad @ Oct 22nd 2009 4:10PM

Yes...to some guys, claiming a big difference with one extra inch is a huge deal.

That last inch is the optical inch.

Hopefully the employees of the Microsoft store(s) won't be the same guys in tech support. >_>
