1 vs. 100 Beta glitch reveals Primetime features

For those who heard about the 1 vs. 100 beta release exclusively in Canada and sighed because they were a member of some other part of the world, a glitch in the system allows all gamers to bypass the regional requirements and download the beta, but not quite play it. However, you will get a sneak peak at the upcoming Xbox LIVE Primetime setup that appears to be getting ready for an E3 launch.  After looking through my friends list, I saw a friend who was playing the 1 vs. 100 beta, and noticed that the “Join Game” dialogue was enabled. I hit A on the option, and surprisingly, a prompt popped up asking me if I wanted to download the game. Curious, I gave it a shot, and it appears that while you won’t actually be able to play 1 vs 100 (an error declaring your console invalid pops up) you can get a sneak peek at the “secret” Primetime menu. If you’re a gamer not in Canada (they have free access) here’s what you do:

 

  1. Find a friend who is playing the beta.
  2. View their profile and select “Join Game.”
  3. Let the 360 sit for a second, then a prompt should appear saying that the game couldn’t be found.
  4. Select “Download” from this pop-up menu.
  5. Once finished, find your friend again and select “Join Game” once more to see the secret menu.

If you have problems getting this to work, feel free to leave a comment! Remember though, that this is a glitch and is prone to not work for everyone. Let me know if you have success with the aforementioned method.
