We have 10 codes to share with you all, so get posting!

  • You must be located on planet Earth
  • Contest ends September 1st at 11:59 PM Eastern

I would like to see nothing more. You guys are doing an amazing job at keeping this site up to date and I have been a long time visitor and a minimal poster. Actually this is my 3rd post. I dont think that anything should be removed and anything added (other than games ) I hope that you pick me. Never won a contest before.

I would like to see news on recent marketplace content like new demos, picture packs/themes and expansions/in game content if you know what I mean. Also general updates of what has been going on in the gaming world like mentioning and updates of pax and events like E3 and major events for games like halo 3 going gold and release of cod 4 beta. I think all of this would be great.

The news section should probably include anouncements about changes to the site, new features, release date updates (what XBLA games are coming this week), and also info for games getting alot of hype. Maybe also contest results.

I think you guys should include more release dates in your news posts, and more about the Xbox itself. What would also be nice is posting the latest game trailers, and possibly some movie trailers (for video game based movies, such as Far Cry). Oh, not to mention XBLA updates and Xbox system updates. Then I wouldn't have to go to any other site to know the latest Xbox news.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

A gaming controversy section would be cool. Read what company has been sued by who and for what moronic reasons.

It's tough to say what should be added, because after all, this is an achievement site. It sounds as though you are interested in branching that out to be seperate from that, but there seems to be so many sites that provide that kind of general 360 news that it's tough to understand why you would want to try and compete. That being said, I think it's a neat start, and things like game updates, release dates and pushbacks, XBLA releases, and anything having to do with the decision making and reasons developers pick the achievements they do would be pretty sweet. If we could actually get some sort of "insider" or something with a developer, that would be ultra awesome to see what real reasoning and consideration goes into picking what achievements make it into the games.

I think it would be funny to post fake news stories (The Onion / Daily Show style) once in a while. Maybe things like "Master Chief Outraged At Lame Halo 3 Achievement List" or "Uwe Bowl Receives Best Director Oscar Nomination".

I would like to see sport scores every week or so. Also more info on downloadable content. Such as whenever something new comes up it gets a separate section on the main page underneath "screenshots"

It would be cool if you could have a calendar with release dates in it. Although you may well need more than one for the different regions. It would cool to see some comedy, such as gaming related jokes or stories of gaming related stupidity. It is playing games and having fun that brings us to this site in the first place after all.

I like the idea of XBOX news since if I want world affairs and news i'll watch the news, but in the way of xbox news I like hearing about contests. Everything from tournies to contests (similar to the OLD SPCE challenge or littler things such as the Alien Hominod contest). Also some general updates on big upcomming releases, I don't mean bombard us with Halo 3 news, but little stuff like updated lists for Guitar Hero III or Rock Band. Just my Two cents...
