Note: Please don't send me anything over RaceNet. I never check/use it. If a FR is needed I have plenty of room on my list to add anyone.

Normally I would start typing some stuff here to get you all excited about playing this game with your fellow site members. Not this time. I have a picture worth a thousand words to get your motor running:

Do you think that will look great in your award showcase? Then it's time to earn that sexy badge of honor! Yes our game of the week for July 1st - 7th is GRID 2! We're proud of our achievement list and we want you to show everyone you just played this great game with us!

 

How do I get this lovely award?

 

There are 2 criteria, get the original 1000 Gamerscore and participate in a Community Gaming session for GRID 2. As in, this one. ;)

 

Will there be only one session?

 

Staff members will be creating multiple sessions throughout the week for you to join. We officially now have a session for every day! Keep an eye on this thread and let us know when you're wanting to participate by posting in this thread. If you are joining a session over XBL, make sure you tell the host you are from x360a.

 

Which sessions will be for the award?

 

The ones hosted by staff members. Keep an eye on the next post for updates regarding available times hosted by our staff.

 

Is this week my only chance?

 

No. There will be future events available. This is simply the first. :)

 

Who do I have to play a match with to get credit for participation?

 

Staff members. Only staff will be allowed to vouch for you.

 

What if I don't have 1000 gamerscore yet?

 

No problem! Come play. Have fun. Get credit for participating. Request the award later when you've completed the game.

 

Can I rent the game instead of buying it?

 

For those renting the game, it does require an online pass for $10 (800 MSP). However, there is a 48-hour trial available at no charge which should be sufficient for joining a lobby (although you may need more time than that to get all the MP achievements completed, depending upon your schedule.

 

I've met the criteria, how do I request the award?

 

Staff will keep track of those who've participated (so make sure they have your forum name and gamertag to confirm you played) and when you've completed the original 1000, request your award at this link:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=416292

 

Remember, we have to verify that you participated and have the full 1000, so be sure your XBL profile is set to public when you provide the link for us.

 

What link are you talking about?

 

The link for this game on your XBL profile:

 

You have to add "&compareTo=gamertag" (gamertag being YOUR gamertag) to the end of your link.

 

First go to xbox.com and find this game on your profile. Highlight and copy the URL, in this case:

 

https://live.xbox.com/en-US/Activity/Details?titleId=1129121860

 

At this point you must manually add to the end of the URL "&compareTo=MyGamertag", but replacing "MyGamertag" with yours. Any spaces in your gamertag you can replace with %20 if you have issues with the link not working.

 

After you post, TEST IT! If the links don't work correctly, you won't get the award.

 

Mine looks like this:

https://live.xbox.com/en-US/Activity/Details?titleId=1129121860&compareTo=Grifter%20x360a

Will we need to link link you guys to our profile when we have our gamercard on the left-hand side of our posts that our linked to our gamercards on xbox.com? :)

 

Also, I'm in GMT, btw.

Looking forward to it.

 

Edit: Also, can anyone's profile display the award showcase, or is it just for subscribers?

We prefer not to click several pages to prove your award. Use the following:

 

You have to add "&compareTo=gamertag" (gamertag being YOUR gamertag) to the end of your link.

As for the award showcase, it will be displayed on the forums. You don't need to be a subscriber.

I'll be there! If you need a some staff to set up some parties, just let me know I'll be on most evenings GMT (London) time.

 

I've actually got a few of you that have posted in here on my FR list, so it'll be easy to fill the party.

 

Yes please! If you could post in this thread with the forum names of anyone who joins your lobby, that would help me out a lot.

Sorry all I'm going to have to cancel! I totally forgot I'm in Florida until the 6th. I maybe on during the day of the 7th (Sunday), so these weekend times still apply depending on jet-lag etc.

Well I return on Sat 6th. Can't remember times, butI should be good to relax and open some lobbies on Sun 7th. If I do, I'll post here letting everyone know.

 

Times will be with the hours I've given. Maybe earlier depending if the jet-lag gets ahold of me :p

Wow, for a good while there I thought that by lobbies, you meant it as some sort of slang term for beer. :p

"Is this guy Australian or something?" :biglaugh:biglaugh

Ha ha, damn I feel stupid :p

come on now, you're from the north of England and apparently don't know what lobbies is.

 

This is lobbies;

**Disclaimer, don't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever eat it. It's the local dish from my town/county and it's minging!!! AND yes, it is actually called 'Lobbies'.

 

OT: I'll hopefully be able to join in on this event. I just bought the game last night from shopto, so it'll definitely be here by then, but the last few times i said i was interested in the current event but didn't show up, makes me think it will happen again. Let's hope not, that award is shiny! i mean it's not technically 'shiny', but it is awful pretty!

I try not to travel any further north than I have to ;):biglaugh:biglaugh

And that was one huge-ass picture.

 

As for the OT part: Yes, that award has brought out my feminine side... MMM SHINY THINGZZZ!!!!

 

Edit: The price of the Race Day edition has dropped to £34.99 on Amazon, basically the same as the ShopTo. 14p DLC, unlucky mate (unless you've boycotted Amazon, in which case, fair play)

Now, that's just supporting the American idea that England is tiny and we must be neighbours :biglaugh
