New Xbox Live contest announced!
Microsoft Corp. announced that The Ad Showdown from MSNBC.com is also now available on Xbox Live. You can now vote for your favorite Super Bowl commercials on Xbox Live and be entered to win prizes that includes a high-definition (HD) TV home theater system, an Xbox 360 Elite console and a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership.
"After the big football game on Sunday, we expect hundreds of thousands of people to jump on Xbox LIVE to play games, watch videos and interact with friends," says Shawn McMichael, director of Sales and Marketing for the Entertainment & Devices Advertising Business Group at Microsoft. He adds, "We know how important these commercials are to the game-day experience, so if you missed the game on Sunday, you'll still have a chance to watch some of the ads later on Xbox LIVE and possibly win a new HDTV for next year's game."
Results will be tallied, and the Xbox Live community's favorite ad will be shown sometime later this week. The contest winner will be announced sometime in February.
