Microsoft announced the European launch date for its Xbox games console in a glitzy ceremony in Cannes last night.

Microsoft said the long-awaited Xbox will premiere on 14 March 2002 and will cost £299.

The console is Microsoft's first significant foray in the consumer hardware space, and will compete with Sony's Playstation 2 and Nintendo's GameCube.

The launch of the new machine has already been hit by a series of delays in both the US and Japan, but Microsoft maintains it is still on course to capture the all-important Christmas market in the US.
