[quote name='Immortal fWd']Any Canadians that would help some of us US players get in?[/QUOTE]

I'll join the bandwagon, add me to the list of US Cags that would love some Canadian help with getting a peek at this!
 
I could have sworn I read somewhere that it's open to silver Canadian accounts too...I've been meaning to try but I keep missing the times.
 
[quote name='MSUHitman']Many of the RagTag's played tonight as well. When a group of 4 of us joined in right when it began, it dropped us directly into the mob. We stayed in the crowd the entire time after that.

I hope US players are better than the Canadian ones, they were missing awfully easy questions.[/QUOTE]

Yeah it was fun, and some of the questions were so retarded though.

I think today was the last day for the Canadian BETA, but I may be wrong.

Looks like the first beta show starts on Monday at 10:30 PM EST/7:30 PM PST.[/QUOTE]

All I have to say is "It's about time". :D I'm pretty excited to play it. I loved the game when it was on TV and to have the chance at winning prizes just makes the Xbox Live version even better. Monday is gonna be a good day.
 
very nice! but I thought this was supposed to go live this "spring" but it looks like by the time the full version gets underway it'll be summer at the earliest. oh well though... I'm just happy it's finally coming together and that it's going to be free!
 
so is there only one "show?" or multiple games going off at the same time...

gonna be tough to get in if they only allow 101 people in to play

lol I'm assuming you didn't read the OP, which should have been your first stop regardless...

It's the 1 vs. 100(mob) and then there's the "crowd". The "crowd" essentially can be hundreds and hundreds of people at once.

You play along just the same as the 1 and the MOB but you don't win any prizes, though, the better you do in the crowd the more chances you have to actually be selected for the mob or the 1.
 
[quote name='decrot']how long is this suppose to run? I don't get my xbox back for at least 2 weeks[/QUOTE]

Canadian beta lasted a few weeks (3 or 4?) and I think the US beta is probably for stress test purposes, so I think you'll see it happen for atleast the same as the Canadian, maybe more depending on the servers.
 
[quote name='GizmoGC']Is it up for download yet or will it be sometime tomorrow?[/QUOTE]

yeah hopefully we have some time to DL it before the thing starts
 
[quote name='pimpster4183']I'm DLing it now, it's about 500 - 570 MB[/QUOTE]
Are you downloading the TV episode they put up for free? I got into the Canadian beta and the file wasn't more than 40-50 MB, so I'm not sure what they would be adding for the 10x size difference.

Yeah that was the first episode of the TV show from a few years back. After watching that, it seems even the questions on there were pretty simple, I knew all of them.

Of course neither of the two contestants went past round 6 (second one probably did in episode 2 as she ran out of time and had to come back) so maybe they do get harder.
 
The Primetime Channel is up now under the Games Marketplace tab, so you can set reminders for shows that are on the schedule.

Upcoming Show:
Monday, June 1 - 10:30 PM EST
Saturday, June 6 - 8 PM EST
Saturday, June 6 - 10 PM EST - Special E3 Trivia
Saturday, June 6 - 10:30 PM EST - Special E3 Trivia
December 31, 2009 - 3 AM EST - I'm guessing this is just a placeholder for MS
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']I may get lucky and be able to get into the 10:30pm PT one.[/QUOTE]


What do you mean "get in"? I thought everyone got "in". Just some became the "1" others became the "mob" and the rest were the crowd.

I meant get in as in if I should be available at that time ;)
 
It download for me when I set a reminder for the game tonight. I didn't have to select anything to download.
 
Damn. They said 22,000 people are already on an waiting for it to start.

Edit: The kicking problem still seems to be around. Just got kicked while listening to Major Nelson talk to about the Xbox 360 Press Conference.

Edit 2: What the fuck? It's not letting me in over some BS limit that was reached after I was kicked.
