Xbox Live Primetime

[Tron714]

For those who dont know, Xbox Live Primetime is a neat feature which gets all Live members involved into scheduled game shows to win a large prize. It will have seasonal achievements and its FREE! 1000s of people will be able to participate in the shows and be the audience. Whatever you end up being in, everyone is able to win a prize! YAY!

The first show to be launch is 1 vs 100. Im not exactly sure how this game show works. All i know is that a individual person and a group of 100 play in a "Who wants to be a millionare" type questions to accumulate points.

The winner gets 10,000 microsoft points($125 to spend on the marketplay). If your in the last 60 of the mob, they are awarded a XBLA game (changed every week). Also the top 3 scores in each round will recieve XBLA prize. With every question you answer correctly. You get 1 chance added to win a Zune(midway prize) or a Full Home Theatre(when the season finishes). Prizes can only be won by Gold Members, Silver Members can participate in the audience only and cant win anything.

A season is 13 weeks long. Every sunday everyones scrore is reseted so anyone can jump in anytime during the season.

All the servers are, of course, paid by ads. The first 2 companies to sponsor this are Honda and Sprint. This kinda ads onto the TV game show feel. Not only will you see ads, participating players will get a private message asked to answer questions and everything and will be recorded to be played during the commercials. The message will ask for your permission and telephone number, of course you can politely decline.

There is a small team and a real life host for 1 vs 100. The small team will keep the questions fresh and current. There are also a small team to keep 1 vs 100 run smoothly.

This is a bit of information that i remember. Ask anyquestion and i will go answer it if you would like 3nodding !

I read about this in my latest OXM (Official XBox Magazine), and I must say this is a pretty great idea! Its all the fun of the gameshow, even with the best part (prizes) and you can do it from the comfort of your home! I really want to go at this and get those 10,000 Microsoft Points!

Its still worth hoping for. I wouldn't have to get points for quite some time.  

[Tron714]

I am more leaning towards the Arcade games they give out every week. Thats what i want. I mean free Peggle or Uno Rush?!? Count me in 3nodding !  

[Haratio TaFotter]

Free....Peggle?

Well, there goes my life for a week.  

[nitnit]

You can get free peggle on WoW.

Only a week? I swear, that game absorbed my life for a good month. I got most of the achievement scenarios xp

nitnit

You can get free peggle on WoW.

but i want Peggle on my 360 for more achievements pirate  

[nitnit]

Or you could get it on the PC as Peggle Nights and get even more levels. btw as an arcade game it's 200 points, and half of said points are pretty tough to get. For achievement self gratification rent/buy cheaply generic average/above average games like Kameo  

[Tron714]

I already own Kameo and it wasnt that terrible of a game. Its a step up better than Spyro or Crash Bandicoot.

And the whole point of achievements is bragging rights. So why not get a peggle acihevement that you know your friends havent gotten blaugh ? It shows your better or more luckier than them.  

[nitnit]

Never said Kameo was terrible, just that it was average/above average. I thought the point of achievements was to have a big gamerscore, and to get every achievement for huge games like fallout 3 so people think you have no life, lol.  

[Jonnnn]

I only have ~600 gamer points and I still have no life. cry  

[Tron714]

Jonnnn

I only have ~600 gamer points and I still have no life. cry

Well Jonnnn you better start crackin! lol

And if you really want to be a achievement whore and you really want to boost your score by 1000 in 7 minutes or less, just go rent Avatar: The Last Airbender.
