Look for Xbox Ambassadors on Xbox Live
It can be hard out there for a newbie. Whether you're new to Xbox Live®, or new to gaming itself, we know it can be a little intimidating the first time you match into a game. And getting your butt kicked right off the bat isn't the best introduction to our community.
So we've created the Xbox Ambassadors. These are community members who have been around the block and are willing to show the new guys around. We'll be posting a list of Xbox Ambassador gamertags before the Free Xbox Live Gold Weekend sponsored by Verizon … so check back!
Want to be an Xbox Ambassador?
Are you willing to clear some space on your friends list and play nice with the new kids? You don't have to speak a foreign language, know how to negotiate a trade agreement, or be at the top of the leaderboards. We're looking for Xbox Live members who are friendly, helpful, and patient.
If you'd like to represent the Xbox® community, drop us an email at xlmail@microsoft.com. Subject line should be "Xbox Ambassadors." Please include your gamertag.

Microsoft and Epic
Records to Offer Ongoing Exclusive Entertainment Content on Xbox Live
The online
entertainment network features Natasha Bedingfield as first Artist of the
Month, and offers music videos and Game with Fame sessions.
REDMOND, Wash., and
NEW YORK — March 16, 2006 —Microsoft Corp. and music giant Epic
Recordstoday announced an agreement to make available a full year of exclusive
artist content and high-definition music video downloads free for all Xbox 360™
gamers. Over the next year, Xbox 360 and Epic Records will showcase 12
up-and-coming artists through the Artist of the Month (AOM) program via the
Xbox Live® service, the first and only unified global online entertainment
network. Through the alliance, millions of Xbox Live members can enter a
monthly sweepstakes with a prize of gaming against some of the hottest
musicians through the Xbox Live Game with Fame™ program.
Kicking off the AOM program on Xbox Live is British
singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield, who recently captured her second top 10
hit in the U.S.
with the smash single “Unwritten,” the follow-up to last year’s top 10 hit,
“These Words.” “Unwritten,” which currently holds the No. 4 spot on the Top 40
Mainstream Airplay chart, is also exploding on iTunes, making Bedingfield the
No. 3 artist overall and making the single the No. 1 most downloaded pop song.
Spotlighted as one of the biggest breakout females of 2006,
Bedingfield has taken America by storm since the release of her album,
“Unwritten,” garnering critical acclaim and making appearances on major TV
shows as “Good Morning America,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Last Call
with Carson Daly” and the ABC prime-time hit, “Dancing with the Stars.” Her
music video “Unwritten” can be downloaded free on Xbox Live starting today, and
a sweepstakes later this month will award a lucky winner an opportunity to play
against Bedingfield during a Game with Fame session in April.
“Our goal has always been to make Xbox Live a cutting-edge
entertainment experience,” said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of the
Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “This agreement with Epic
Records offers our members exclusive artistic content directly from the source.
With Artist of the Month we will be providing exactly what music-loving gamers
want: brand-new, exclusive music videos that can be downloaded quickly, easily
and free of charge.”
“The fusion of music and video games now plays a significant
role in breaking artists and enhancing the video game experience; the
cross-cultivation of the two mediums helps new games and new artists thrive
together,” said Charlie Walk, president of Epic Records. “Through this
alliance, Epic and Xbox show that we are in one business — exciting young
adults and leading them to the art of discovery.”
Each month Microsoft and Epic will announce the new Artist
of the Month along with exclusive benefits for Xbox 360 gamers around the
world. Xbox Live members will be able to download featured music videos from
Xbox Live Marketplace at no additionalcharge and watch exclusive interviews
downloaded directly to their Xbox 360 system. Further, monthly Game with Fame
sessions will let Xbox Live members play games with some of the world’s most
renowned celebrities, as well as enter sweepstakes offering tons of cool
prizes, from Xbox 360 consoles to signed CDs.
“This program really taps into the passion and excitement
that surround both video gaming and music,” said Cory Llewellyn, vice president
of Epic Records Digital Marketing and Promotion.“We are excited to bring our
strong roster of developing artists together with Xbox Live for a variety of
great experiences for consumers.”
Palpable excitement throbs in the streets across Asia as Xbox 360 hits retail stores amidst a frenzy of
launch day extravaganza heralding the new era of digital entertainment...
