Kris Erickson • Jul 6, 2009 • Comments ()

The hottest new craze to hit the Xbox 360 in North America is about to take gamers by storm in the United Kingdom as well. In 1 vs 100, you get to star in a TV game show from the comfort of your living room and win a variety of real-world prizes. Microsoft today announced the beta test of the hotly-anticipated TV quiz show will come to Xbox Live in the UK on July 10th, delivering what Microsoft calls "the first truly interactive game show experience straight to the living room". The beta appears to be open to all residents of the UK, France and Germany who have an Xbox Live Gold subscription and a hard drive.

1 vs 100 LIVE will be a regularly scheduled show that puts players on the largest interactive game show stage in the world -- Xbox Live. Players can be chosen as "The One", "The Mob" or "The Crowd", be entertained by a host and compete against thousands of other Xbox Live members as they race to become the ultimate 1 vs 100 champion.

A variety of general knowledge questions which are constantly updated and supplied by a team of trivia experts will test The One against The Mob, with the opportunity to win some pretty decent prizes that include Microsoft Points, Digital cameras, laptops and even a new car.

The show that inspired this game is a worldwide prime-time hit having been sold to broadcasters in sixty nine countries.
