1 vs 100 for XBOX 360 will be the Megaton! (LIVE June 1st 10:30est)

Summary: Basically players can win real prizes ranging from MS points to home threater systems. Gamers worldwide will connect and anyone can win a prize. It will have a LIVE host on Fridays and Saturdays and will run for 13 weeks (a season). Personally I cant wait. This will seriously attract more gamers to 360.

The audience (the Crowd) plays a part, both in providing Who Wants to be a Millionaire-****lifelines and in just playing along with the contestants. But 1 vs. 100 isn't just about getting questions right -- it's about other people getting the answer wrong. That's where the Mob comes in. The XB360 version randomly selects 100 players from the Crowd to form the Mob, and it's the One's goal to answer more questions correctly than them. The One is playing for Microsoft Marketplace points, and every time 10 people get a question wrong, the MS point value increases -- up to a maximum of 10,000.

All those details apply specifically to the live, twice-weekly version of the game. But to give more people a chance to compete, an Extended Play version will be available everyday for about an hour as well. During Extended Play, everyone is a member of the Crowd; players still try to answer questions correctly, but points are awarded based on how many players get an answer wrong. Host Cashman won't be available for this mode (though Taylor's automated voice will take players through the game), and the prizes are different as well. Instead of competing for MS points or games, each correct answer enrolls the player in a sweepstakes for items, such as a Zune or home theater system.

I think it looks amazing, looking forward to it :D

Looks to be quite the catch for Quiz lovers.

And let's face it ... everyone loves winning things.

I'm looking forward to this, can't wait till the beta is available for all of us.

Don't be excited, I got dissconnected like 80 times, and when I did get in I got to answer two questions.

1.) What is the sequal to Gears of War 2?

2,) What button on the remote makes the movie go backwards?

answered both and then got disconnected again.

Tried it the other night and I loved it, I ended up 2nd in my groupe :D.

Can't wait to see how it'll turn out to be when it's not in Beta. Can we already win prizes or will it be only in the final build?

For those interested: a Quick Look of the game (language warning).

it is awesome i was in one of them the questions went from hardest ever to sooo easy, and the questions are random ANYTHING CAN BE ASKED

I have been playing the beta.... it's great fun, especially if you're in a group with a pal, laughing at some of the answers is great..... Though no prizes are awarded in the beta, there are still entries earned for answering correctly, which basically puts your name in the hat for a drawing on prizes, later down the road.

I've not been selected as "THE ONE" or even as part of the MOB yet..... but I did manage to fight my way into 3rd place out of 13804 people though. Some ??? are painfully easy, others are ridiculously hard, the way it should be I suppose.

Anyway, 1 vs 100 will be a major selling point for MS this year.

The 1st guy to beat the mob and WIN 10,000 MS POINTS did so today..... too bad for him no prizes in beta :(

Whats better than Achievements and Trophies? Winning real prizes while playing a game. Even though XBL already have those Play and Win events for various multiplayer games, 1 vs 100 looks pretty fun and laid back. Thanks for posting that GiantBomb video, I haven't seen that lobby area before. For a second there I thought you could walk around and stuff, at least you could pose and stuff though.

its rumored to come out tomorrow for US.Tjeremiah1988

Woah didn't know it was that XBL intensive. Awesome.

I'm in the Beta and its really fun but can get glitchy but I guess thats the point of the beta. The questions range from pop culture to science questions and either can come at anytime. Its very fun and will definitely be a big hit. Can't wait until the full version.

I'll probably try it out. Won't be surprised if I get eliminated in the first round though. :lol:

I am in the beta, it is pretty cool

There were, people won XBLA games and MS points

Too bad PSN doesn't have this. :D

Played it. Loved it. Will be one of my favorite games this year (seriously)!

To clear up any confusion, you cannot win any prizes in the beta; at least in Canada anyways. The host (I'm quite positive he was live) specifically mentioned that.

I'm also very impressed at how quickly some of the technical issues in the beta are being fixed. Extremely excited to play the full version and hit the jackpot! :)

isn't 10,000.... 10 bucks? or 100? i don't think many people will buy a 200 dollar system on the basis of a very low chance of 100 bucks, let alone 10. and it's a video game contest, we all know the grand prize is just about impossible.

I'm guessing since it is only at certain times, there will be multiple games happening exclusive to their region. I could easily be wrong, but I could see some sense in that. :) Then again, it's free so... It might be nearly impossible to be "the one" let alone be in the mob, so who knows. :P Microsoft might be very stingey, or very generous.

isnt that too easy since you can use google ? :o

It will fail, just like everything else on the Xbox 360. Hype it all you want, the only megatons this year will be on PS3.

The US beta date will be announced tomorrow?

Looks Amazing !

Yay, gaming caught up with TV, players everywhere can now play games and every now and then get interupted by ads..

Fission mailed.

Will this be localised to each country or is there just one version?

I think it looks amazing, looking forward to it :D

On a side note considering another thread currently doing the rounds. I would cheat at this game like a mo fo, get all my freinds around to help and get multiple Laptops searching for the answers lol.

Regardless of you being a troll, I just wanted to clear up your BS.

People like me have played it already and loved it. It can't fail in my eyes.
