You may have noticed that the announcement of a North American beta start date for Xbox LIVE Primetime title 1 vs. 100 never happened. There’s a reason for that. According to the probably official Twitter account for the game on May 21, “a few things” needed to be “in place” before the announcement could be made.
In a tweet yesterday, the guys behind the account reiterated the May 21 message. “Just to reiterate: we're waiting for a few things to be solidified before we're able to share the date. Hang tight.”
Don’t be surprised if you don’t hear the date until Microsoft’s E3 press conference. This delay doesn’t sound entirely related to technical issues.

I don't care to much since I really hate avatars and this doesnt really appeal to me.
Glad canada got something for nce since like Europe they seemed to get screwed a bit to often when it comes to gaming
I doubt it's actually him playing, but Big Bill does seem to be a nod at his celebrity...
than PLAY GAMES, and stop treating gaming news as CNN
Maybe we'd have gone GOLD already.
Jus' a thought.
... about 12-18 months after it's released everywhere else...
Hahaha! Dude, lighten up…do you own a 360? What’s with the hatred? It was the red ring, wasn’t it? Or maybe “Big Bill” touched you inappropriately when you were young…in any event, we get it…the 360 sucks and the news for it has been(will always be) miserable because MS' console presence should have died with the original Xbox.
Cool...then say that. I can actually understand that sentiment much more than snark dripping with malice. Maybe the game show wasn’t meant for tv and this venue may prove more appropriate. Plus, I want prizes….
It gives free MS points as prizes, so yea; it's worth checking out.
