COMMITTED ach. - I Got It

[B1indSide]

FINAL UPDATE: All you have to do is change your time zone on a Monday so that it switches back and forth between a Monday and Tuesday. Thank you to everyone that confirmed this.

Everything below is the method I used, but it can be done on either a Monday or really really early on a Tuesday morning for most people.

I did it on a Tuesday morning between 6:30 - 7:00 AM U.S. Eastern Time.
I switched the Time Zone back and forth between -12 Tokelau (Mon 10:30 PM) and +14 Kiribati (Wed 12:30 AM).

Change your "TIME ZONE" in the console settings to -12 so that it is still a monday. Load the game to the menu, then quit to dashboard. Change the time zone to the +14 so that it is now a tuesday and reload the game. Rinse and repeat.

UPDATE FEB. 2009: People are saying that it might have changed to Tues/Wed and some are saying that it's now switched to Wed/Thurs... All I can say is try Mon/Tues and do it 13 times (13 because there are roughly 12 weeks in 3 months and and extra week to be safe), doesn't work, try it the next day and again do it 13 times... you will get it eventually. And MAKE SURE THAT YOUR TIME ZONES are changing to the days you need. The time zones I used did, but to make a Tuesday you might need a different time zone because you are doing it at a later global time to when I did, so just make sure that it IS IN FACT switching between a Mon/Tues OR figure out what zone you need before you do it a 100 times and blame me that it's not working. I did mine in Sept. and it worked switching between a Monday and Tuesday and took about ten tries. If it doesn't work for you, you aren't doing it right, or they changed the days the week ends and begins in an update to stop you from doing this... I don't know. All I do know is it worked for me and many people afterwards. So don't fret, just try every day of the week ten times... you will get it eventually. Sorry.

-----------
OLD UPDATE NO LONGER APPLIES, IGNORE: I got to thinking and I'm worried that those of us that got it, just got lucky we were doing it at the end of the month and that it was switching between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. So not only was the day changing, but the month, too. So loading the game twice counted as 1 month (sept - oct - back to sept), which is why some people say they got it after 7 tries. So you might have to do it at the end of a month so it switches between two months rather than between a monday and tuesday.

This is NOT certain but I will feel terrible if someone waits till next monday and doesn't get it, so PLEASE, if anyone tries it next monday, post your results after giving it at least 12 or so tries. Thank You! Has been confirmed that the months has nothing to do with it, simply switching between a Monday and Tuesday is all that's needed for Committed. Thank you everyone.

Got it too, Only had to do it around 7-8 times though!? Was definately no more than 10.

[daninthemix]

So presumably those of us in the UK could wait until Monday night and then put the clock forward 12 hours, then back and so on?

[GTukC]

I'm in the UK do it now and you'll get it.

[daninthemix]

I can't I'm at work. I'll be back at 7PM - what time do I need to go back to then?

[GTukC]

Dunno but the -12hour is sunday at around 11.47pm so dunno if it will work after, may do but I don't know.

[Dorothy541]

I'm in the UK do it now and you'll get it.

[The Lovat Scout]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it say you need to be connected to xbox live for this to work? And doesn't it not allow you to switch your Clock settings when signed into Live? Maybe It's only for switching the date. But I live in Missouri so I think thats central time. Between what time zones exactly do I need to switch between? And when I do make the switch, do I load up the game, then exit to the dashboard and switch back to normal time and load of the game, or do i switch back to normal time then switch back to a different time zone, THEN load of the game. Sorry, I'm just really confused. Also, do I need to be up around midnight tonight for this to work?

[TreMiStiK]

Anyone have an idea about what's going to be the Cut-off day for March?

EDIT: Nvm, I just did it. Mon-Tues work for March.

[FOX-Inc.]

Just another confirmation that this works perfectly, I just got 'committed' so there's one more chance in March... next week on Monday - Tuesday

[Evans214]

Anybody know what it is for April?

[A 2rue boofer]

nice tutorial glad someone found this out thanks

[chambers1178]

Does this have to be done early in the morning? I understand that I'm going to have to try different days of the week to see what works, but does time of day make a difference?

Well yeah it kind of does, because if you try it at 07:00 on the monday and +14 hours it's only going to be 21:00 on the same day. So you need to make sure it's late enough in your own timezone in order to switch it to the next day.

I just got mine today by swapping between early hours monday and tuesday, worked a treat and thanks to the OP

[RapGodFathers]

This achievement is so boring. I'm french. So yesterday, Sunday, i switched betwen Sunday and Monday... Nothing.. Today, i switch between monday and sunday again...nothing...i switch between monday and tuesday..nothing again... Can you tell me what is the day to get this achievement and the time zone to obtain it? ( In france GTM +1 Paris)

[anthonyd46]

wow this is my 5th time of 20+ dashboards today and nothing this is really getting me mad

[v SnOwMaN v]

Why when I goto the dashboard and try and change time mine is grayed out. Doesn't give me the option to change the time.

[BlackcatS]

if anyone tries it next monday, post your results after giving it at least 12 or so tries. Thank You!

[ITRUK]

Confirmed at 6:00pm GMT here in the UK!
Switched between +14 Tues to -12 Mon - did this 12 times at it popped up

I also tried this yesterday but it didn't work, must confirm that Monday and Tuesday is the cut of days.

Cheers for your help guys..

[lukkPL]

Got mine too few minutes ago. At 7.00 P.M. (GMT+1 - Poland).

So switching between Mon/Tue works as switching weeks? Weird. I always thought that Sun/Mon is the end/start of the week

Change your clock in the console settings to one of the above. Load the game to the menu, then quit to dashboard. Change the clock to the other time and reload the game. Rinse and repeat.

So change your clocks to -12 and figure out which day and time just after 10 PM will be on a Monday and do it twelve to fourteen times and you should get it

I can confirm this to work. Only took about 15 minutes (I wasnt counting tries)

[Nizzle]

I was also able to get the Committed achievement Today October 6, 2008 mon/tues. I'm in MTN time zone just using the same glitch going for the obsession achievement and as I was switching back and forth between -12 and +14 it unlocked on me to my surprise

[Riverpatrol]

Thanks for the heads up, just got it Mon 18:40 GMT (IRL)

[Pashos]

I got it just now. Took me 10 changes.

[Gun-Nut]

I already got the 7 & 100 Days this technique does not seem to be any different?

[Genesis x360a]

Hey guys can anybody confirm that yu have to do this achievement on a monday-tuesday?? Its tuesday now so do i have to wait untill next monday before i can get it??

[kovenant]

just got it myself. i guess we have to do this on a mon/tue to get it to work. been doing like 15 loads a day to get the 100 so i dont have to do it all at once and i got both achievements today. yayy

[YouStayClassy]

HECK YES! Just got it as of 5:58pm Monday October 6th in the United States Mountain Time zone. Took me maybe 10-12 switches between -12 and +14, and it popped before the "Press Start" screen even showed up.

Thanks for the heads up OP! You rock!

God dam, you guys are mad creative when it comes to beating the system. I salute you all.
