1 vs. 100 US beta date could be announced today photo

Here’s a wild one for you: information on a US beta (via Joystiq) for 1 vs. 100 may or may not be dished out today. Yesterday afternoon, whoever runs the 1 vs. 100 Twitter account (once thought to be official; we’ll get to that in a second) teased that an announcement of the Xbox LIVE Primetime title’s beta start date would happen “within the next 24 hours.” 

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. When Joystiq asked Xbox LIVE guru Major Nelson if the account was legitimately tied to Microsoft, he replied that it was. Microsoft PR, however, disagreed with Nelson when Joystiq inquired.

Mixed messages and crossed wires.

So, you’re guess as to the legitimacy of the account is as goods as ours right now. We wouldn’t be surprised if it was indeed real -- those updates are a labor of extreme love for the game.

Oh, don't be fooled by my stupid humor(or lack there of). I am looking forward to this, but looks like MS is a bit gun-shy on giving up any real info until they've nailed everything down. Pesky tweeters!! If left unchecked, they will usher in the downfall of mankind!!!

I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to it, but I am curious. :)

If anything, it'll give my Avatar something to do. That sexy Xbox live representation of me needs to do something with his virtual life.
As of the moment, he's all dressed up with nowhere to go.

So the only allure of this game is to win Microsoft points and arcade games? Isn't that kind of bad? I thought the whole point of a game was to have fun.

This game looks absolutely amazing, and I can not wait until it comes out in the US. With how much they have been advertising this, and with what they are giving away. [Microsoft points. ROCK BAND FANS REJOICE!!!] I'm ready to play this some time soon.

I *think* the beta may be opening tonight.. After reading Xbox Live Forum it seems they had an audience capacity limit at 8 thousand on Tuesday, 10k yesterday, and tonight there would be no limit.

Also, Xbudz sighting! lol

The Canadian beta is alright....just too much obscure Canadian trivia...is it sad that I know so little about my own country?

I would take what Major Nelson says as the truth. The PR people are the ones pulling strings, and people like him or Aaron Greenberg are the ones who have to keep their mouths shut.

I am very excited for this "game." It's an event!
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like such a cool idea. Imagine if one game was all Dtoiders.
