New Microsoft Store Opens at Destiny USA in Syracuse, NY with Special Guests Thurman Thomas and Major Nelson!

We recently wrote about the Microsoft NFL app for Xbox One that every fantasy fan’s been raving about. Well, that’s real life today, because football star Thurman Thomas AND the Wizard of Oz of Xbox, Major Nelson, are both kicking off the festivities to celebrate the grand opening of our newest Microsoft Store at Destiny USA in Syracuse, New York!

Come join the fun! Meet Thomas and ask Major Nelson any burning questions you may have, all while enjoying some deals so sweet they just might put your grandma’s pumpkin pie to shame. (Sorry, Grandma!) For one day only, you can get the Toshiba Encore 2 WT8 32GB Signature Edition 8” for only $99 or, get an Xbox 360 4GB for only $99!

Hundreds of celebrators headed to Destiny USA last night and camped out outside to be one of the first into our new store—the line stretched far from the door before the ribbon cutting. We gave the first 500 people a Microsoft retail store gift card with a surprise amount ranging from $10 to $1,000. More than 100 of those customers in line were gifted a card worth $100 or more, and two lucky customers received $1,000 gift cards (lucky)!

Busy day at work? Don’t worry, if you’re an Xbox fan, be here tonight (Thursday November 13) from 7pm-9pm, for an exclusive Xbox event where you can get your game on with Major Nelson himself. You’ll have the chance to test drive the newest games on Xbox, including Halo: Master Chief Collection, Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2. Plus, get a chance to win special giveaways.

Get over here, play, and celebrate with us! Welcome to the team, Syracuse!

Special thanks to local community organizations Arc of Onondaga, Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways, On Point for College, and the YWCA of Syracuse and Onondaga County for helping to make this opening day celebration possible.
