    Community Playdate on XBOX LIVE: Shacknews edition

    Is anyone interested in helping host a community playdate on XBOX Live if we get approved? Before I send an email to DMZilla I need to find out if:

    1) We have at least 5 people willing to be "hosts"

    2) A common XBOX Live game we all have and are willing to play

    Basically this would be an event that is promoted on XBOX.com and the dashboard and would be hosted by the shacknews community. The only other requirement is we then have to provide them with a logo image, but hopefully ECO or someone else could hook us up with that.

    This is one that is going on this week to give you an idea of what will be promoted on the website: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Community/events/CommunityPlaydate/Home

    Here is the message I saw on twitter: http://yfrog.com/gyso5vpj

    And geedeck said he was interested on my twitter message so we need a few more volunteers.
