We here at X360A are pushing to get 1000 people online at the same time to get the cunningly named "Online with 1,000 people" achievement, worth 100 gamerscore. Yes we know it has been attempted before, and yes we know it failed. That was due to the short time frame in which was allowed for people to find out-and the fact that this site wasnt involved in organising it of course!! This is why we have given almost a months notice- so go forth and spread the word!! The time we are looking at (on Sunday 25th February) is 8PM GMT (England). So: 8PM GMT 9PM Central Europe 3PM New York (Eastern USA) Midday California (Western USA) We have been informed by EA Sports direct that you do not need to be playing a game, but you can just be online listerning to the ESPN radio service. Last time, EA recorded 917 users on their servers- so close, but yet so far!! We're going to manage it this time tho, we just need help from you guys to spread the word around as many places as possible, to get as many people as possible. The odds are, this will only ever happen once. Be a part of it  .And get this showing on your Gamercard!  |

  Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 305  | This is good news. I'm glad to see some organization. If we even had 100 people dedicated to organizing the event, we would accomplish this. Last time, it seemed like there were about 20 people doing most of the organizing. If there's any official way I can assist please let me know. __________________  |

| Guest Posts: n/a | I posted in the A360P forums that we were going for the 25th. I know that there is some bad blood between the two sites- but drastic times like these call for a level of decorum. Let's play football in No Man's Land, fellas. They have 40 or so people ready to do it already! |

 Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Redneck Country Posts: 538  | I will be at school at the time, will this work: I leave my console on all day with my profile signed in (will get away status for leaving it on so long without playing), with NBA in it and in the online game modes. Will this give me the achievement? __________________ Hay, sup guyz, internets=serious business.

I will definately be there again, lets get this done! As for the multiple account theory, I'm not sure that works. I had 3 signed in, but only one was active on NBA. If I picked up another control, I had to sign the first one out, then go back through the EA sign-in again. __________________    | |

Sign in and leave the 'radio' on. According to EA that would fill the requirements __________________ PSN ID: eXiledKillah | |
