Win our review copy, and branded swag to boot!

You people are on board TA at a good time. We’re striving to bring our loyal community so much swag you’ll be giddy with excitement. That’s why we’re offering you the chance to host your own Kinect Sports: Season 2 party!

http://www.el33tonline.com/images/cache/19525.jpg

One lucky winner will bag the grand prize bundle courtesy of Microsoft Studios! We’re packaging up our review copy of the game, one month's free Xbox LIVE Gold, official Kinect sweatbands, three Kinect Sports: Season 2 medals for your podium finishes and, essential for any self respecting party... Kinect Sports balloons!

Of course, in sport it’s not the winning but the taking part that counts. So, with that in mind, we’ll also be choosing three runners-up and gifting them with one Kinect Sports: Season 2 medal each and some branded merch so you can still look and act the part!

To be in with a chance of winning, we want you to answer the following question and post your response in the comments:

“If you were likely to break any World Record what would it be and why?”

It doesn’t have to be sport related at all, we’re just curious! Perhaps you’d be the World Record holder for most hours spent on TrueAchievement when you’re supposed to be working? I know a few people personally who would qualify! Whatever you think, get it posted in the comments below and we’ll be drawing winners soon! Good luck!

Falling asleep anywhere. I fall asleep alot, few times when actually playing xbox with people, a few time when driving too, which wasn't very pretty, luckly no damage though.
I don't have a sleeping disorder either just good at falling asleep.

Most time spent playing with myself. . .
(With my xbox of course)-
Its sad, I named my XBOX 360 "Isaac Clarke" because I felt an intervention coming every time I would tell friends and family I was playing games. You should see how their faces light up when I say "I'm hanging with Isaac"!
TheDancingClown - Has there not been any drama on here for a few months or have I just missed it.....either way, its nice and peaceful :)

I would break the record of most visits to the trueachievements.com site. And I'm really trying it hard.
The Machine MRG - 1513 in favour and 3 against. Couldn't be any clearer, Argentina. Now stop whinging

Most bones broken in an attempt to drunkenly ride a unicycle down a set of stairs, with the purpose of catching the last train home, while wearing a full musketeer outfit, brandishing your saber at imaginary enemies.

I may have to set the world record for most games done with a turbo controller while working/sleeping/doing anything else. Thank you Gears 3 and Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader!!

Since Kinect Sports 1 came out I guess I would set the world record for "Moving my arms around my body like a maniac almost daily (and for months) in a failing attempt to get a score of 350 in the Pin Rush Bowling mini-game" dance
With great power... Comes great GamerScore

Sweatiest person ever after a 30 minute Your Shape workout.

I actually work out in an inflatable kiddie pool, as my parquet started to rise due to all the moisture it absorbed.
