Not in Canada? Use magic to get into 1 vs. 100 LIVE beta photo

That Xbox LIVE game that asks you questions about Dakota Fanning getting raped, 1 vs. 100, goes into open beta tomorrow… for Canadian users only.

That is, of course, unless you’re sneaky. The folks over at Gamertag Radio are, and have come up with a nifty little workaround for non-Canadian users to get in on the action. It involves making a Canadian Hotmail account, and then a new gamertag on your console. Once the 1 vs. 100 software is downloaded, you (in theory) should be able to hop on to your own, Xbox LIVE Gold gamertag and access the game. Very clever, Gamertag radio.

I personally can’t confirm whether this works or not. After creating my Canadian Hotmail account, it dawned on me that my retail Xbox 360 red ringed the other day. It appears that until I get it fixed, I will not be neither one nor one-hundred.

But for those of you will be, have fun this weekend, and let us know think.

But it's 1 vs 100. Why would someone waste their time? It's 1 vs 100!

These colors run American, not some other fag country. My 360 will stay USA, thank you very fucking much.

I`ve been seeing this advertised on one of the Xbox tabs for a while now. I was looking forward to checking out the debut tomorrow, but sadly I have a night shift. Oh well.

I can't imagine anybody is excited enough about this to go through all the trouble for it. We can wait.

Well, I can confirm it works. In addition to my regular Live account, I have a Canadian account, a German account, and a Japanese account. I used the Canadian one to download 1 v. 100. The game doesn't show up in your games list, but you can run it from your download history.

weird, I was able to send a reminder to a friend in the US and I think he was able to download the beta game on his xbox. Weird?

I can't see why it wouldn't work, as you do get the one month of gold for free when you do that which is what you need to get in on the beta.

I plan to try this out. If I get in I'll recap how it turns out. :)

THANK YOU Twisted Imp, I find all this moaning to be funny as hell seeing as its almost a standard that on the PS3 you have accounts for every location. And 360 owners bitch about the effort it takes to make ONE account? Please

I'm Canadian and have no interest in this game. Do I get a rain check?
