Watch Debate Tonight On 360, Win Avatar Customizations
Microsoft is excited about its new political coverage, and ready to reward users who log in to watch tonight’s presidential face-off.
In case you’ve been busy playing Borderlands 2 and Resident Evil 6, you may have missed a little election we have going on. Tonight’s your chance to catch up, with the first of four presidential debates between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
As previously reported, Microsoft will reward users who watch at least three of the debates by offering a fancy gold Halo 4 skin for avatars. It’s like those “I Voted” stickers for a virtual world. If you do decide to tune into the streaming presentation of tonight’s debate, Microsoft will be hosting virtual polls throughout the evening to let watchers express their pleasure or displeasure about a given candidate’s words. Put another way, by tomorrow we should know whether Xbox Live leans Democrat or Republican.
Will you be tuning in to the debate on Xbox Live tonight? Does Microsoft’s avatar offer hold any appeal? Let us know in the comments below, and please remember to keep it civil and respectful in regard to your political opinions and those of others.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
