I got the pop-up notice that said "1 vs 100 starts soon". Was this the time that I should have loaded the game? All I'm getting now is game session is full "ERROR". I didn't start trying to enter until just before 9:30 -- a minute or two.

I went to it as soon as i go the notice. Must have filled up immediately after.

On a good note, I hear that some user named "Shagrath" won a prize of 25 free song downloads for Guitar Hero: World Tour!

Everyone Gets A Shot: Microsoft has the right idea about getting new people into the hot-seats for this game. They estimate that up to 1500 people have a shot at getting in the Mob per live session. And the stats that improve your chance for selection — earned by playing the Live and Extended versions of the game regularly — will be re-set each week. So the elite players shouldn't get all the shots at the glory.
Man, I'd happily settle for being in the Crowd. Half an hour of trying and I can't even get to watch. That sucks.

Re: Official Xbox Live Primetime Thread (1 vs. 100) - Schedules! Prizes! Trading?

My reminder popped up at 1025 and I was able to get in. In the crowd, of course.
About 11 Pm i had network issues and got kicked out but was able to get back in for a few minutes.

I didn't hear Chris doing his ingame chat, I heard him between games.

Is it just me or did I see Mad Dog's (something like that) name twice?

Once or twice the 'pause for stats' break took a couple minutes.

~45000-50000 people playing online at one time. How does something like WoW compare? Can it even compare (are those instances or is it truly MMO?)

If you miss one question it's almost impossible to catch back up, with the way the scores increment -- multiplier for streaks, and bonus points for the Mob members who got it wrong.

I'll still play, but if only up to 1500 people can actually really "play" at one time, and if it stays around 50000 participants, I don't think I'd pay for those odds.

I finally got in the lobby with 45 minutes to go but never got in a game. A friend joined later and got put in the crowd after 10 minutes.

If the game was really I think I would of won a arcade game plus 400 points. after one of the eariler rounds, I was in the top 5 or so of the mob and at the end of that game it said you won, a xbox live arcade game and 400. but then the announcer said the beta has no real prizes right now I was bummed. This is going to be fun when it launches

True, but at least everybody who got in the beta are in the running for those prizes he mentioned.

After the show, the host mentioned that next week they're going to try and let more people in. I think tonight it was capped at 50,000.

I made it into the mob towards the end of the session. I really enjoyed it. In one round, I held the top score after 9 questions and then they asked the question about the horse jockey....FAIL. I dropped out of the top 10 and never made it back in....though I made it into the mob following that round.

One of the guys who was chosen as "The One" had to use one of his helps/lifelines because he didn't know what RSVP meant....lol.

Re: Official Xbox Live Primetime Thread (1 vs. 100) - Schedules! Prizes! Trading?

I logged into Live around 10:15 last night to play Battlefield but saw there was a game starting so my friend and I decided to give it a shot. Played all night and had a blast. I got kicked out once with a network error, but other than that, I had a pretty flawless experience. I'm definitely going to give Saturday a shot.

Thanks. I have to admit that I'm a sucker for these trivia shows, and to get a chance to be in the Mob was awesome. I think I got to 1 vs 17 before I got the question wrong I'm looking forward to Saturday.

I noticed that there were occasions where I could hear Chris talking, but it wasn't coming through my TV - I could hear it via my headset. Not sure why this was happening.

Also - there was a split-second difference between when I pushed the answer button and when it registered in-game. There were a couple times where I was definately the first to answer, but when the reaction score came up, it had me 2nd or 3rd.

Still - this will be a blast to play, and I know where I will be Saturday night.

Was on it the whole time and had a blast, sure I was in the crowd the whole time but stll a blast. And if the achievement list is correct from the xbox360ach. forums it could be fun and doable except for that Hair Trigger one. And as far as prizes are concerned I saw those pop-ups as well but I believe if they were giving away prizes it might only be for the top 3 of the mob.

HotThang - I'm curious as to how you knew I was in the Mob?

My wife and I were put in a group with another random dude and his wife. Only the guys had mics and we were talking back and forth having a gay old time. Er, a great time.

Not me. I tried over and over to get Larry C in my game and it wouldn't work. BTW, if you press the Y button and move the analog stick around your avatar dances.

The first time I got in with someone on my friends list, and two randoms.
Later my wife joined my party, the same guy who was on my friends list, and another random.
