1 vs 100 Free for Xbox LIVE Gold Members
One of the more interesting aspects of the NXE has always been Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games was supposed to release with the NXE last November but it won’t make it until Spring. Each game is broadcast simultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions. Many events will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen. 1 vs 100 was a game included in this and has only recently surfaced with a target date of Spring.
1 vs 100 Live on Xbox LIVE transforms you from spectator to player in this new socially interactive game experience based upon the hit TV game show. Win real prizes not just for skills but for participation. Have fun playing with your friends and family, or compete with other LIVE Gold members in a friendly game of 1 vs 100 Live. With live events, real hosts, featured players, and fresh content it’s a new experience every time you play.
And the best part about this is that 1 vs 100 Live is included in your Gold Membership so it’s free! So whenever it does decide to launch, all Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers will have it at no charge.
[Update] – Only the 1 vs. 100 Live Beta is free for Gold Members. There will likely be a fee once it launches.

They better have the servers for this game really tunned up, buddy. This means that at the beginning of each session there will be 101 gamers on line. My hats off to the Xbox team if they can pull this one out

I am very happy with the benefits that Microsoft is giving to Gold members, it is definitely making the subscription easier to renew year over year.

I guess I never thought that it might not be free for Gold Members since we’re already paying for live, but I’m glad the confirmed it is.

I just hope it stays as “And the best part about this is that 1 vs 100 Live is included in your Gold Membership so it’s free!” and not “And the best part about this is that 1 vs 100 Live is included in your Gold Membership so it’s free! (US members only)” Don’t let me down MS…

Glad to hear. I’ll definitely be playing this on a regular basis if it plays well.

Its good to see Microsoft give away something free for a change. With the outrageous prices on most XBL games, this is a good news. I’ll be checking it out!
