Who here participated in this fun event? For those of you familiar with the game show on tv with the same name, they created a XBOX 360 live version of the same thing! I only got on in the last hour Friday night, and the next one is this Tuesday, tomorrow, and I plan to go on yet again. I've also provided feedback on their forums as well, with the goods, the bads, and suggestions. Like music levels and to be able to change the setting, because the only time I could hear anyone else speak, it was during the status break, where it showed peoples' stats so far in the game. JUST when I got to play part of the mob though, I got booted from the connection! But I wasn't too mad, I understand how betas work, plus this game they weren't giving out the prizes, which are cool stats, and ACTUAL Microsoft points, what you can use to purchase things off of their marketplace. SO, who here has 1) An xbox 360 2) Gold member account (or live access so you can play the beta with the rest of Canada) and 3)got a chance to play, or plan to play? I will mention a funny question from the game, well, funny to the other Canadians who read this, the question was, "Where can you get a 'timbit'? x)McDonalds, a)Tim Hortons or b)Future Shop" 32 PEOPLE GOT THIS WRONG!!!! The tim part should have been a DEAD give away! So this makes me wonder if people from different countries ACTUALLY changed their country setting, just to get a chance to try this beta out, or I will be ashamed in a LOT of canadians!!

That sounds amazing! I am from the US, so I dont have the chance to play. I wonder if they are doing this in the US as well. I would love to give it a try. That game show is so much fun - I love to play from my couch! Are they planning on releasing this as a downloadable game? Or will it still be a competition? Is the game going to be for the whole world or just Canada like the Beta? If you get to play tomorrow night, I hope you win something! Good luck!

Yes, it WILL be a downloadable game at some point, they have to work out all the bugs in the beta first, like with most games of course. And I'm not sure if it will be the type of game you can play at anytime for prizes, or scheduled games, as it seems right now. The scheduled games seem like the correct way they should do it, for the prize games anyways, because a lot of people would be getting a lot of free Microsoft points when they want it lol. The last I heard about the game, it WILL be open to the rest of North America first, and then expand, but who know, this could change as well *shrugs*. And since it's still a beat, I'm not sure if they're giving out prizes yet. I sure hope they do though! Here's the detail page if you're interested! http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/live/1vs100/default.htm Thanks for the luck, responding and happy myLotting!
