1 vs 100

A long long time ago, on a console far, far away, Microsoft promised a new interface (the NXE), and interactive contests to go along with it. The flagship contest game is 1 vs 100, which was touted as a game where you could interact with thousands of other contestants, and win real prizes. Well, after a long wait according to Xbox.com, 1 vs 100 is listed as:

Free game: 1 vs 100 Live is included with your Gold Membership.

Sounds to good to be true, doesn’t it? Microsoft has been very strict when it comes to giving away free content over Live (most of the free stuff was simply stripped away from Silver Members). With the exception of Aegis Wing and Dash of Destruction, there hasn’t been much pro-bono work going on at the Microsoft offices: hopefully, 1 vs 100 will be a new beginning for Gold Members.

Name something that MS has said was free and turned out not to be.
They are not going to put it's free on the official site and then turn round and say fuck it you can pay for it when it's released in the next couple of weeks.

Your way off with that guess, they are behind us by 8 hrs

So the beta will launch at 3:30am, which kind of answers the question of if the beta will be released in the UK.

I'm guessing Microsoft are making sure this runs smoothly by expanding the game a little at a time .
Also I've watched another sneak preview and you answer questions by the muliply choice (press x,y,a,b on your pad), I find this easy to get question right when the possible answer is in front of you.

The beta was first released to the whole of Canada and will soon be relased to the whole of the US and because of the size of those 2 countries, then I would think when the beta (if they have one, they might just launch the game) will be released here and in Europe.

I think it ran smoothly in Canada. The only thing that worries me is that if your picked to be the one and you fuck up an easy question because you pressed the wrong button .
We asked who was first man on the moon? You said B - Buzz Lightyear

it does look good. especially if you can win points. i can imagine the swear filter being tested to the max if they want to chat to winners in real time. imagine meaty chatting to the host once he's had a couple.

The video was from the Canadian beta (which has now closed) and all the prizes were bogus.

the initial hype for this was that there would be real prizes. maybe not every time you log in to play but there will be nights where they do have stuff to win.
