was first thinking of putting it for a smaller circle but hey, guess it fits to the news as well. It is taken from the email I received.

I'm in. Apparently they're interested in someone that doesnt have a 360 and a xboxlive account, lol.

I was taken in as well - without xbox or the account. Will be interesting to see how it goes.. if it is what I suspect (advertasing supported games) there is potential for profit but also huge disaster. This suspicion is based on the live-concept itself (if I recall it correctly they have planned Office versions of that type as well). Thus I also wanted to participate, in order to try to affect it into being more comfortable for gamers =)
