MICROSOFT has supplied us with a list of things for 360 gamers to do while Xbox Live undergoes maintenance for 24 hours from 5pm Australian Eastern Standard time today, 29 September.
While it's purely spin, the list attempts to pump up the pending Xbox Live upgrade that Microsoft is calling the New Xbox Experience.
I particularly like number 10!
1. Today is International Inventor's Day. Create a time machine so you can fast forward 24 hours when the downtime will be over.
2. Read the unofficial strategy guide to Braid so you can boost your Achievements and finally beat the game.
3. Head over to the nearest shopping centre to search for inspiration and design ideas to use when creating your Avatar. We hear kilts and t-shirts with gamer slogans will be in this year.
4. Go out and take some great pictures to share with your friends during an Xbox LIVE Party. Wear your kilt and gamer t-shirt.
5. Flip through your collection and look for games that you haven't completed and get stuck back into them. Yes, even that nasty boss battle that you are avoiding going back to.
6. Get ready for Lips by singing in front of a mirror with your beer bottle in your hand.
7. Read MajorNelson.com to catch up on the latest features coming with the New Xbox Experience.
8. Play some couch co-op on Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and grow your garden, but watch out for Professor Pester, please.
9. Play through the story-mode of the original Gears of War so you have a story refresher before Gears of War 2 launches in November. Practice your Roadie Run. You could even make some chainsaw noises if you felt like it.
10. Get some sun. You are going to be spending A LOT more time inside once the New Xbox Experience launches.
