Alan Pettit

Not sure why this is happening only in Canada, and only on May 8th, but if you you're in Canada and you'll be alive on May 8th, check it out and let us know how it is! The beta test should be available to all Xbox Live Gold members  in Canada with the NXE Dashboard downloaded.

Other regions are rumored to have betas coming as well, stay tuned.

  • Wow, what's up with the US getting screwed on everything all of a sudden?
  • Wow thats crazy they are getting it before everyone else. Oh well I hope it turns out good and the US gets it soon cause I really want to try this out.
  • Hope new zealand get this but i doubt we will =D
  • @SK Beans Shut up
  • Hooray for Canada :)
  • Forgot about this!!! Hope the BETA comes to Europe soon. Anyone know when the whole thing is coming out??
  • YAY, i hope im the ONE to win it all on May 8th !!!!!!
  • Surprised we're getting this first, seems weird to only test in one area as well.
  • What is this all about anyways?
  • I thought Canada was the US? :)
  • Bit random Canada gets it, but good for them. And take loads of pics and vids, so we can see what it is like.
  • forgot they advertised this with the nxe, bout time we saw something
  • About time Canada gets something from Xbox Live.
  • bow chica wow wow
  • @madasahat your ignorance make me lawl im from canada definitely not a part of the states .
  • Canada is america junior...That's what all the americans say to me... One said that canada was america's hat xD
  • why do birds suddenly appear
  • In Canada, except the province of Quebec, as always :(
  • @5 YOU shut up.
  • Kick ass, can't wait for it. Canada FTW! The US will probably get it soon after though.
  • I'll just be switching my time zones...
  • @1- Since when does the US get screwed over more than other countries? @11- I'd consider getting some form of education.
  • this game looks, pretty sick, incorporating avatars, and a room full of peole, I wonder what they mean by real prizes though?
  • erm im english and canada rules america like england rules the world (GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN)!!!!
  • @ #22 but, Canada is the us? Isn't it?
  • They are testing it in a country where people are civil and polite, hence the U.S. doesn't get it. The rest of the normal world will just have to wait.
  • @#26 LOL! I'd give it a go, but I don't plan on being alive on the 8th...kind of a bummer. Oh well.
  • LOL
  • I don't think the U.S. gets screwed on anything....
  • @#16 Wait, Québec is really excluded? Why do we always get excluded from everything the entire Canada has? We too can speak English if it's what they're afraid of!
  • Quebec gets excluded because there's no point making a demo in a language that only a tenth of the population of the country speaks. Go anywhere else in Canada and you'll hear barely any French, so why release an English demo in a French-speaking province?
  • WTF?!?!?! Canada? Microsoft is boning the homeland again T_T
  • @31 Why not?
  • @22 I suggest you get a sense of humour, it was a joke but I forgot you guys dont get sarcasm or irony, if you looked at my post you would of seen the little smile I put on the end of it :) Nothing new just rushing in all guns blazing without looking at the finer points! @26 LOL!
  • this should be on the wii not the xbox 360. anybody else agree with me??
  • Yay go canada, If I am still alive on may 8th ill try it out.
  • CANADIANS ROCK!!!! Cool that we are getting this first.:)
  • Vive le Canada let's not make a war over this, as a former "america hater" Obama has cleansed me of my "america hate" Yaah Canada and Yaah Obama btw FUCK P.M. harper oh i forgot game sounds cool i'll try it
  • So what, is this a game show on Xbox? I'm a bit confused, as I've never heard of this before.
  • @1 It's funny you mention that. In Europe we get "screwed over" all the time. We didn't get Aegis Wing or Yaris, only obtainable by US account. Didn't get Are you smarter than a 10th grader, live score tracker. We still don't have Star Ocean: A New Hope or Tales of Vesperia. Not only that but there is an unobtainable achievement in Madden 07 I believe it is because you need a game that isn't released in the UK. There are also countless other examples and not necessarily just specific to the 360 either. Remember that next time you complain.
  • intresting
  • Sweet! Good to be Canadian for a change. No complaints here.
  • So if there is a Beta next week ... the release of the full version can't be this far, eh? (I hope so.)
  • I keep reading that this game is free, any truth to that.
  • Blame Canada!
  • sap sucking hockey loving wood chucking leaf licking no tooth gay lumberjack bear bastards. I'm actually kind of glad to see Canada getting some content first for once. nice change of pace. Evening the score until equality.
  • Metric edition obviously. If in U.S. would be 1 vs. 64 or something like that.
  • I find it funny how people in the US manage to find a way to argue over a game just because its being released in Canada first even though they get everything first to do with games so STFU lol :)
  • @ #14 Yeah I know, the US gets almost everything exclusive, about time we get something.
  • does this count on us gamertags aswell cos i got us account
  • Is it actually 100 peopel who will play this.
  • I wonder why they chose Canada? And for only one day? Random.
  • seen this like 2 weeks ago...definetly trying this no matter what
  • Im not complaining. We are the ones who usually get screwed on new features. Nice that we are getting it first. Hopefully this will be good.
  • Blame Canada
  • hmm. interesting.
  • -sigh- I love ignorant people on here saying Canada is so cool because they get some crappy 1 vs. 100 beta...but I'm sure the other countries will follow. I'm going to try it out, but its going to be tough to win prizes.
  • @#2 Nice job cheating and getting caught! (shouldn't he be taken off the site)?
  • lol only one day thats wrong its from may 8 to the 24 nice getting ur facts strait lol "Xbox LIVE is launching a beta version of its new game show 1 vs 100 exclusively in Canada. The beta begins May 8, 2009, and runs through May 24, 2009."
  • Haha at first I read it as "1 vs. 100 Canadians"
  • Score!
  • Bout time we got some kind of exclusive.
  • @ # 55 nice one must've took you a long time to think that one up. It's about time canada gets something first for a change, and other countries will get it too in time.
  • Woah, me, a Canadian, is getting something before America or Japan? w00t.
  • Bacon, eh?
  • That's a typo right? Canada never gets anything. Finally.
  • Victory for the Motherland!
  • @1 Dude...us Canadians have been screwed over by Xbox Live for too long, so you really, really don't have any room to talk. We STILL don't have TV Shows for download.
  • I didnt think there was even 100 people in Canada lmfao!
  • 1 guy vs. 100 moose avatars.
  • OK 1st go Microsoft for finally realizing that they can beta test things in more then just America. As for those bitching about one country get something that the other doesn't, get over it. Every country has things (games being only one of them) that are exclusive, always have & always will, that's just the way things are. On another note can anyone confirm that this beta is just one day i.e. a reliable source who can confirm it, cause everything I can find just says the beta starts on May 8th not that it is only for May 8th. Not saying that x360a is wrong just that a one day beta makes no since at all, I mean honestly the point of a beta is to get results on how well it works or doesn't work as well as get feed back from the public on how they felt about the beta. One day just doesn
  • Why does America junior get it but not America?
  • I hope this comes to the U.K ASAP, seeing as we're the ones that came up with the god damn program in the first place :@
  • so when they say you win real prizes do they mean microsoft points or what??? because that would be AWESOME!! :D
  • MS can take 1 vs 100 and shove it up their ass.
  • Canadian lmao
  • nuffzx LOL
  • #72....Canada is not America Jr... besides Why cant Canada get one thing exclusive even if just for a little bit, considering that Americans get Netflix and we dont up here
  • #70. Yah its not like we have big cities up here its all forest and snow, but you would be amazed at my internet connection speed from my wireless when i sit in the living room of my igloo!
  • #29. could be that at one point Quebec wanted to be its on country and wanted to be seperate from the rest a Canada.?
  • #1 is stupid. The US gets more than the rest of the world combined.
  • Dont matter who gets it 1st its going to suck like a prostitute (or hooker 4 our american cousians)=) with no teeth!!!!!
  • #73 I hate to tell you this but the UK did not come up with this idea, endemol did, and as per most of endemol programmes they are shown in the rest of europe before the BBC or ITV by the rights to make a UK version, see Big Brother etc.. Glad to see people still not happy that somewhere other than America getting something, i got a whole lot of abuse because Mario Kart on the Wii was released in the UK before USA, but the first Mario Kart competition wasn't allowed until the American release
  • this looks awesome. go Canada! too bad theres some birthdays to attend on the 8th. shitty. any ideas on when the other lives dates will be?>
  • YAY CANADA!!!!!
  • @1 I'm American also, and I still think that was a dumb comment.
  • 1 vs 100 eh? here in canada its all we get eh
  • In Canada eh ?
  • im so excited for this!! hurry up USA
  • that's cool for something that should have been out already but having it only in Canada? Kinda weird only in one country but they haven't announced any other news so don't be worried
  • I'm proud to be a Canadian. But if this was only for US. This news post thing wouldn't say; "I don't know why this is only in USA"
  • @29 and @31 - if prizes are available, 1 vs 100 the full game might not be available in Quebec. Most contests that run in Canada exclude Quebec because of the extreme rules and regulations the Quebec gov't requires and does not have to do with language.
  • blame canada
  • |@Sk Beans :It's probably cuz U.S has Netflix, cheaper XBL, Lot's of free Themes and Gamer Pics. And get's the Inside Xbox vids. earlier. I might be wrong, but just one question. When is the download coming out?
  • everybody in canada exept Quebec? ahhh les tabarnak de raciste manger moé dont toute le pain ahahah
  • YA! Cant wait to try this!
  • I'm not to botherd but ill sure give it a go if it's free.
  • seems interesting might give it a shot if its free! p.s how did this forum go from talking about 1 vs 100 to people crying and complaining about which country got the game 1st? way to ruin a forum guys lol
  • who cares about some shitty beta for a gameshow that most people wont even bother to play once it turns up anyway? i doubt it'll even make it to every country either since some versions are on channels that arent or wont want to take part in the dumb m$ concept.
  • canada? might as well have given it to iceland or something.
  • I'll trade Obama for a dozen Montreal strippers. Since we're getting all irrelevant here.
  • @21 - will changing the country settings actually let non-canadians get this? can anyone else elaborate on this?
  • Do you think they will charge to play this 1 v 100??? Cause i cant see being free all the time there giving prizes???
  • i@102. would not think so it will be region locked like scrabble is. I have an American account but can not buy scrabble.
  • Netherlands must have the BETA, it's comming from Dutch television show, Microsorft buyed rights from Dutch T.V. maker Van De Ende T.V. to put it on xbox live but there are still no romers that it will be here availble, i want my money back inc. but I know why always more things their are to win in the United States of Camerico, because it's to expansive to ship it to U.S.E.
  • @3 well we either get it first in the global release or like 2 years after. we are always forgotten about :( So #1 don't complain about the US getting screwed. i have read all your threads about complaining things are too expensive. oh no, you have to pay $180 or whatever for rock band. poor you. try $280 over here. and world tour was $360. every game comes out as $110, while you get it way less. as soon as one little insignificant little thing doesn't go your way you say 'everything' is going wrong for you. i would say everything has gotten better for you since bush got kicked out. BuckFush. Woah im really off topic here... Back on topic. Um.. REAL prizes? Intriguing. Maybe its like the special clothes for your avatar like the ones you can get with achievements in upcoming games. Sorry
  • dam thing didnt show the whole post. sorry for the long post im pretty tired as i type this
  • finally we get something first!
  • Ya, I am curious about this myself. Thankfully I am in Canada and I will definitely try this out. Hmm, anyone know how exactly this is done? Do I download an XBLA Trial or something? Something to try out at the very least.
  • Maybe they chose to Beta in Canada to really limit the number of potential users as to not overload the system during the Beta. This was probably easier than having people sign up to Beta test.
  • I'm so tired of Americans thinking they should have everything first. Fuck off.
  • They chose canada for a couple of reasons. We have a lot of people on XBL and to make up for a lack of netflix on live . Plus the day the beta launches (Friday) is traditionally the day the most canadians are on line.
  • @112 - the Netfilix thing doesn't just effect you guys. There's been no mention of ANYTHING for something like this in the UK (as far as I've heard lol) which makes me sad :o( @ the dude who said Canada is part of the US - I'm from the UK too, and please believe me when I say we're not all that silly! I think it's cool that Canada has been given a chance to try something before the rest of the world. Why not? You get American exclusives and European exclusives, but you never really hear of Canadian exclusives do you?
  • finaly canada gets something first..... @Fielders Choice i guess those are good reasons @ all pissy Americans: shut the fuck up, god. some of u Americans can be so stupid like u get everything 1st...and to the first guy, ur dumb
  • Canada ftw!
  • @47 - it would b 1 Vs 64 Bcoz they cant count to 100 surely? The only time they have came accross that number is the times they've fucked their sister
  • This actually sounds really cool!
  • Dont F*ck with Canada!!!! F*ck'n EHHH
  • @116 So your saying every American has incest? You can go sip on your tea and eat some crumpets.
  • Jeez I hope this release doesnt start world war 3 lol.
  • Hope this will be a free arcade game.
  • C'MON! bring it to england!
  • @40 - well said we never seem to get anything
  • every one of u arguing about what country gets what, and what country is better and all that bs are idiots. its a game. not like you are winning the fuckin lottery. just get on with your lives.
  • For the dumbass that thinks Canada is in the U.S. Canada is part of North America but not the U.S. Some of you need to lay off gaming and go get a GED or for the young ones stop skipping school.
  • i agree with # 99
  • Cool good to see some news on this game. I'd love to hear how this game plays and if there's much lag. And the US getting screwed out of stuff? Dude, us Eglish and other Euro contries get far less and considering exchange rates I'd say we pay MORE for than you US and from what I've heard Canda get even less than us. Seriously your not kings of the world. Lol, canadas americas hat, best thing I've heard all week. But Canadas way more interesting than US.
  • Also you americans think everybody dumer than you. I mean come on open your eyes. Gorge Bush started the war in iraq because of a pieace of veg. That just... You people are a lost cause. English people are on average far more smarter than all of you put together. Yay rant, i should stop...
  • you know it's funny how you say that Tib088, I almost believed that your intelligence was more superior than us American's except your speech flawed just a tad, American's was not capitalized, "dumer" is spelled dumber, George Bush is how it is spelled (nice try throwing us off by capitalizing his name), piece, not "pieace", and what the hell is "veg"? and by your whole statement you have made your self and your so called English people, in our minds once again believe that you are still not as bright as us and I bet anyone after my post will agree, you have made your self look even worse, maybe you need to check up before you open your tiny little mouth next time and think before you write, and in conclusion, may G_d have mercy on your misspelled soul....now moving on I think this is kind
  • @129 Try using a full stop, then people might find your post more legible.
  • Nice to see the US not getting first for a change :)
  • Mircosoft chose Canada to use canadians gamers as DUMMY TEST to see if everything working alright then they will know it is saft to release other countries ;)
