Microsoft is extending the “1 vs. 100” beta by two weeks. According to official release this is due to the “overwhelming response” by Xbox LIVE Gold members. The season finale will now air on August 29th in North America and the UK and the 30th in other supported European territories. The prize-less “Extended Play” sessions will run until September 13th.

In addition to announcing more opportunities to hear Chris Cashman stumble through a script about videogames, Microsoft released some (confusing) numbers. In a single night over 215,000 Europeans and roughly 230,000 North Americans played the Primetime title. In a single session “up to” 114,000 people played the game simultaneously in NA, which is apparently some sort of Guinesss record.

We’ve watched the numbers decline -- manically since prizes are now involved -- since the beta’s unveil. Are you still interested in “1 vs 100?”
