Start Transmission
You’ve wrapped your gifts, put the finishing
touches on decorations, and created your version of frosty the snowman
in the front yard. Whether you’re spending the Holidays with your
(crazy?) extended family, close friends, or just that special someone
this year, Xbox LIVE has lots to keep you entertained (and sane) at
home during the Holidays. So grab a blanket, a hot cup of cider, and
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
The Gift of Holiday Knowledge
There’s always that one know-it-all in every
family, so challenge Aunt Connie or Cousin Johnny to a special Holiday
trivia showdown. Tune into a special “1 vs 100 Live” Holiday episode on
December 26 at 6:00 pm PT which will feature Holiday-themed trivia, a
decked out set, and laughs with Chris Cashman. Didn’t get an Xbox LIVE
Gold membership in your stocking this year? No problem. From December
24, 9:00 am PT – December 28, 9:00 am PT, Xbox LIVE Silver members in
the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France and Germany can enjoy the “1 vs
100” premium entertainment experience reserved exclusively for Gold
members. If you enjoy making your Avatar bust a move, you can also cast
a vote for your favorite dance in the “1 vs 100” Dance Contest (www.avatardancecontest.com)
from now until December 26. The winner will be notified on January 4,
and have their moves immortalized as an Avatar dance in “1 vs 100.”
And, to ring in 2010, tune into another special “1 vs 100 Live” episode
on January 1 at 7:00 pm PT, which will test your knowledge of the New
Year.
The Gift of Rocking Out
Sick of caroling? Do the jingle bell rock! The new
Xbox LIVE Music Games Stores open December 22 making it easier than
ever to find and choose from more than 1300 tracks for your favorite
music games: “Rock Band” (MTV Games), “Rock Band 2” (MTV Games), “The
Beatles: Rock Band” (MTV Games),“Lego Rock Band” (Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment), “Guitar Hero® 5” (Activision), “Guitar
Hero® World Tour” (Activision/Red Octane), “Band Hero™” (Activision),
“Lips” (Microsoft Game Studios), and “Lips: Number One Hits” (Microsoft
Game Studios). There’s no need to argue between Metallica and the
Beatles – search, sort, and preview clips from songs in one convenient
place on the new Music Marketplace on Xbox LIVE.
The Gift of Fame
With so much entertainment to keep your Holiday
merry and bright, remember to dress your Avatar to the nines (or in an
ugly Holiday sweater) and check out Major Nelson on Twitter from now
until December 31 as he unveils daily deals that will be sure to bring
you cheer.
