For those of you that don't know next Thursday, November 15, is the five year anniversary of Xbox Live. Yes, XBL is officially 5 years old, and has come a long way since back in 2002. While glitz and glammer has been added to the original XBL's drab and ugly interface, it's nice to see that Microsoft held true with their first idea, and no other system has been able to copy it: A name (gamertag) connected to a universal friend's list across all games.
It's awesome to see the leaps and bounds that have occurred in five short years, and I for one can't wait to see what XBL will look like when it's 10. To kick off this momentous occasion, Microsoft is hosting a number of events all next weekend, including:
1. Play and Win: Just play a game sometime on November 15th and you may be eligible to get some free gifts, including five first place VIP accessory kits, five second place Xbox 360 HD DVD players or five third place Xbox 360 Wireless racing wheels. Don't forget to follow the links on the page below and register your gamertag.
2. Frag Doll Friday: Game with the infamous Frag Dolls and get your butt whipped by a female! On November 16th, the ladies will play Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.
3. Xbox All-Nighter: Play and relive Return to Castle Wolfenstein in its awesome glory! The all-nighter begins November 17th at dusk till November 18th at dawn.
4. Family Game Night: Enjoy some family games every Tuesday!
Maybe the addiction to COD4's multiplayer will pay off if we can win some free swag for it!!
