Microsoft Grand Opening at Lakeside Shopping Center + Xbox One Event w/star Shaquille O’Neal #NOLA

It’s no secret that my family are sports lovers and very competitive! So when I heard that Shaquille O’Neal was coming to Lakeside Mall to celebrate the Grand Opening (I’ll be attending as well) of 2nd Microsoft Retail store in Louisiana this November, I couldn’t pass on the opportunity! Tech and sports? It’s like a dream, right!

Anyway as a techie, not only will you get to learn about the new Microsoft store BUT you will have the opportunity to purchase the Toshiba Encore 2 WT8 32GB Signature Edition 8” for only $99 or, get an Xbox 360 4GB for only $99! I seriously need that tablet! As if you needed another reason to save the date, the first 500 people in line will receive a Microsoft retail store gift card with a surprise amount ranging from $10 to $1000! More than 100 of those customers in line will be gifted a card worth $100 or more, and two lucky customers will receive a $1,000 gift card to Microsoft retail store!

Grab the family and bring good luck with you! Besides, wouldn’t you want to play Xbox One with Shaquille O’Neal?
