Current UK 1 VS 100 Beta Show Schedule
The UK Beta for 1 VS 100 went live last night. personally i managed to get into a couple of games but i was also kicked out of them, which took crashed the game and took me back to the dashboard and signed me out of Xbox Live. what i played was fun and it 3was nice to have UK Specific questions, like which channel 4 presenter wears silly ties, but there were also a few other questions which were by far much more difficult.
How Was Everyone Else's experience with the game?
The Extended Play Shows do not have "The One" and is just a 30 minute show with up to 37 questions. The Primetime shows do feature "The One"and are live. the more extended play games you play, the greater the chance you will be the one in Primetime.
The UK 1 VS 100 Dashboard has the following dates and times for future 1 VS 100 shows.
