So they heard about Poker Night and decided to cash in?
Xbox Live Primetime
Concept »
A now discontinued Xbox Live service which was based around scheduled programming. The intention was that Xbox Live users could log in at a specific time, find friends, and experience live events.
Microsoft Might Be Beta Testing A Live Poker Game
the first rule of the poker beta is: you do not talk about the poker beta.
the second rule of the poker beta is: YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE POKER BETA!
Third rule: anyone yells stop, goes limp, passes out... we collect data.
lol. seriously, that email was intense. im really worried now that if i get in, Sony ninjas will sneak into my room when i go to the kitchen and take pictures or something... and then Microsoft will sue the hell out of me for leaving it running.
Drunken online trivia with friends > Drunken online poker with friends. Just sayin'.
But, hey, this sure beats the hell out of creepy chat-roulette UNO, so... I'd be for it.
My first reaction to all this is thinking it strange to pull a quiz show in favour of online poker. I would think that quiz games have a more universal and broader appeal than playing poker. Plus there are already umpteen competive online poker sites out there, but how many online quiz shows are there?
Why couldn't we have both?
In all honestly I'd rather have 1 vs 100 over a poker game, I enjoyed playing that game with family & friends on a regular basis. The same family & friends will not be joining me for poker I can guarantee.
