Microsoft unveils rewards for 1 vs. 100 Live

Nice. I like it when I hear stories of big corporations giving out prizes for stuff like this. I usually find that this doesnt happen often because such corporations are usually money hungry to death. Even tho I wont be playing or participating, I still have to say, "Good Job, Microsoft."

None of this good stuff is available in the Netherlands. Just like we have no downloadable movies. We miss out on a lot of good Xbox 360 things, MS has to offer...

I guess I will start playing this again but I most likely do not stand a chance in hell to ever even make it to the mob

10,000 MS points, are you kidding? "Im NOT telling my girlfriend about this. She plays it ALOT as it is...lol. I can't get near the x360 when she's home. Anybody got an extra system they can loan me?..lol.

no Australia??? WTF???

i ma screwed, i live in Iowa, that is a lot of BS.

Why can't Microsoft bring this worldwide like to Australia. I would love to play this game and get prizes. Please bring it to Australia!!! Australia usually gets nothing.

I love how avatars always look normal in everything Microsoft shows off, but every time I've played 1 vs 100, it shows how crazy they get. I doubt many people take this avatar system all that seriously. xD

@Guillermo seriously dude get a GS account.

I'm in Maryland, so I guess I'm screwed unless they're (Gamespot) is wrong.

Woah, now wait a minute. I'm more of a lurker around here, but I had to respond to this one. Where did GS get the idea that those states weren't eligible to win prizes? Those states aren't eligible for "skill-based" questions, but that doesn't mean they aren't eligible to win prizes. Or can anyone actually confirm that those states are ineligible for the prizes?

Awesome! I felt kind of hollow knowing that the two times I was in the mob and won wasn't actually worth much. Now let's hope I can do it again :)

I played the open beta last weekend when silver users were allowed in. I have to say, it was pretty fun and good to see how much I knew and how much I didn't. I'm not sure if I'd be willing to jump to gold for this (I don't really play online games too much), but if you have it, it's definitely worth the play.

Koo, I already have gold membership and this could be fun

Looks fun. Can't wait to play the beta in about 90 minutes!

Not worth getting a gold subscription yet. Microsoft really needs to do better to get 50 bucks a year from me. Heck that's one extra game a year versus crappy online experience. The prizes would be better if there was anything woth the MS points anymore.

Cool, 1 vs 100 was pretty fun even without prize now you can win a few Microsoft points for playing(, winning) I'm in

Im going to crowd my entire family around so we will have 4 minds instead of one.

To win big prizes is assuming you make it as the mob or the "One". I played the game for about 20+ hours and never once made it to the mob or "one" and I answered most of the questions correctly. And good luck being one of the top three in a room filled with over 100,000 players.

awesome. i hope i can win this lol

So does that lady who already beat the 100 in the beta get anything, I hope she does because she kick some serious ass!

lmao really autoycus...your going to pass up FREE ms points?!

Pretty cool.

Sorry MS, you'll need more then those lame gifts to keep me entertained...

Unheard-Volume, that is quite the comment. Offering prizes for being good isn't uncommon, and I'm willing to bet most won't get any. The graphics aren't trying to do something crazy, and the entire concept is borrowed off a tv show. Not very original, all in all the gaming industry will continue unchanged.

Now if you could just make it cross platform with the PC, we might have something truly revolutionary in the works.

@ Barighm I was thinking the same thing but then i saw the movie that is linked they give you like 4 seconds to answer a question way too little time to cheat barely enough to read the answers so unless you have a room full of friends of helping fat chance using the internet

This whole idea is Revolutionary!!! This changes the gaming industry in a major way!

You don't have enough time at all to Google Search the answers. You have just a few seconds, and the faster you answer the more points you get.

Just make sure you play with google next to you on the sofa... or not... I was barely able to read that text before time was up, the smallness of the stream didn't help though...

Im in. When does the beta stop?

10,000 microsoft points 0___0 im in

That's pretty cool. Well done MS.

I could never connect to the game for some reason. No matter. It's a trivia game, so it's pretty easy to cheat (assuming there is a way to combat cheating; I dunno. Could never play)

10,000 MP!!, wow am not even sure my hard drive can stuff all that in...

Another new idea being implemented by Microsoft. I'm looking forward to winning 800 Microsoft Points a week.

@Paul_GameFury I am well aware of this possibility but it doesn't mean I have to be content with it :P. @bastila19 Bet you think you're so funny lol

My home state and my college state and my potential residence states aren't listed. Spot on. Those are some decent prizes too. It's at a point now where DLC, XBLA, or Community Games always have something good to check out.

@NightmareCV lol

Still no europe play though eh?

@NightmareCV Chances are that they "shafted" you because of laws specific to your state and it had nothing to do with their own choice.

Dammit!! i live in quebec

Well I'd say that's awesome, but since I'm in Connecticut and they just shafted me they will have to settle with a few choice words.

I just moved back to Iowa from Minnesota. WTF!?

aww man, im from Iowa, what the deuce

10,000 Microsoft Points. Damn! I could buy, like, every song on Rock Band DLC. lol.

very cool. I'm glad I'm not from any of those states. lol.

meh. I don't have confidence that this game will continue to offer prizes or have enough people wanting to play to make games efficiently.

I wish that we could be able to pick the Arcade game if we won, but I guess you can't have everything, right? ;)
