1 vs 100 season 2 begins November 19
Microsoft has announced that the second season of the highly successful Xbox Live game 1 vs 100 will begin on November 19, 5 PM Pacific time. The first season, which was a beta season of the massively multiplayer show game, ran for 15 weeks and had over half a million contestants. Over 2 million Microsoft Points were given out as prizes during for the best players of the trivia game, and it looks like season 2 will surpass in both player count and prizes.

1 vs 100 open to cheapskates
If you are one of those cheapskates who would not cough up money for buying a Xbox Live Gold subscription, your free Silver account is in luck today, as the beta for Microsoft’s television-inspired online quiz show 1 vs. 100 will be temporary open to you until tomorrow.
Only open to US and Canadian gamers, the beta previously required gamers to have bought or redeemed a Xbox Live Gold subscription.
The beta of the trivia game is unique in the sense that it will provide real-life skill-based prizes, including virtual Microsoft Point funds and Xbox Live Arcade games. The basic formula is this: the more members of the 100-person mob that “The One” outlasts by correctly answering questions, the higher payout he/she gets, with the remaining mob receiving prizes if they outsmart “The One”.
