So, to win an Xbox 360, you have to play your Xbox 360? That just seems confounded. What about the people out there who are still trying to get one? (People don't have 360s? I know, right?)

maybe MS wants people to sell it on ebay? I agree though, giving away a 360 to people who are guaranteed to already have a 360 is kind of a pointless promotion.
How about MS just giving away skins and faceplate sets? it would do the exact same thing except they could give away more (don't worry, they could still call it 'limited edition').

As a Canadian gamer, I feel like I have just been kicked in the balls.

This is fantastic. I am definitely in on this.

This article is wrong. You do NOT have to play GoW2 to win or qualify. You ONLY have to download the Gamerpic. It says this in the rules on Xbox.com.

That Xbox 360 is soooo sexah. I would probably never want human hands to touch it, I would have to carry it around in a stroller and treat it like a baby.
