I personally can't wait to win stuff. Right in time too, since Ill be getting a bunch of new games soon.

GunShotEddy6417d ago

People complained for so long about them not doing another contest. I'm surprised it's Old Spice though.

Lots of people say Gamerscore is worthless beyond bragging rights but things like this prove that wrong. Hopefully the prizes are better than the first round however.

mighty_douche6417d ago

Ummm im not seeing a connection here? the 360, used mainly by angry kids, old spice, used mainly by geriatric's?

creeping judas6417d ago

Dont you know Old Spice is the new Brut by Faberge!!!

Skerj6417d ago

Why don't they just make this permanent man? Gamerscore would actually serve a purpose other than to extend some kid's e-peen, and they'd sell more games because of people wanting to increase said gamerscore for "free" stuff.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

I never knew Ross Scott was doing this

I love Freemans Mind

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
