Has anyone been playing the 1 vs 100 beta for 360? I've found myself enjoying it a ton... especially when they do the 1 vs 100 live version and it is like the real game where you can win prizes. I usually don't get eliminated in the mob however your score is based off of how quickly you and answer and the top 3 are always ungodly quick which is frustrating. Anyways, a super fun beta can't wait for the full release
I would like to add that the prizes being given out during beta are not based on skill - as it is planned for the future. The current prizes being given out are based on a sweepstakes system, you max out your sweepstakes entries after answering 500 questions right or wrong. I enjoy it, as I've always been a trivia nut. Even though I have a few million total score from playing during the beta, my play has been spread out over the weeks & that is severely hurting my chances at getting into the Mob/1. That, on top of the fact that 50,000+ are always playing making it pretty tough odds to get selected as it is. I think there is a ton of potential here for XBL. Not necessarily dependent on the success of 1v100, but I like the idea of game shows making their way into gamers homes' via their consoles where real prizes can be won. Ive had a couple interesting PM's from people over XBL during this game show, my favorite so far was "Damn, you must be a history teacher!". My response was "Nah, I'm just a burnt stoner"
Just so you know, make you sure you play the 1 vs 100 live edition as opposed to extended play. In extended play, you ear the skips and what not. In the live edition, it really is 1 vs the mob, and you are part of the 100. If you get a question wrong, you're eliminated from the mob. The top 3 in those rounds all win prizes too.
actually, only 100 people are chosen to be in the "mob". everyone else is in the "crowd". the one - can win Microsoft points and an arcade game. the 100 - split the one's microsoft points amongst those who are still active when the one loses the crowd - top 3 win an arcade game download only 100 people are chosen to be in the mob, and theres usually about 100,000 people playing. so you have a 0.1% chance of making it to the mob. and even after you make it there, you have to get every question right. the prizes are petty, but the game is fun, aside from the commercials.
Played it and loved it....until an hour in the announcer said "remember this is just the beta and we're not giving points out yet".....we were pretty peeved and shut it off lol.
I played it a couple times... after about an hour I got burned out. I'll log in during the 'live' if I have friends on but other than that, eh
