Those are the lamest achievements ever

The hip and trendy kids over at G4's The Feed put together a list of what they think are the 17 lamest Xbox 360 achievements to date. Horrible games like Bomberman Act Zero and NBA Live '07 made the list as well as our favorites like Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas. We agree with most of their picks, but really agree with hating NBA Live's "Online With 1,000 People", GRAW's "Committed (Multiplayer)" and FFXI's ridiculous "Reach Level 75 with each character class". We guess this article made us further realize that there are truly lame achievements out there and that we have to be careful. Remember, friends don't let friends spend days on end trying to earn lame achievements. It's one epidemic that we can stop.

360 Voice's tally on the NBA Live Events

Given the nature of 360 Voice, it would be very easy for them to track activity on any given game with its user base. So, if we take a look at the NBA Live 07 activity over the last month, we see the results for how many 360 Voice users were on NBA Live 07. On February 10th, the day of Achieve 360 Points' event, 326 360 Voice users logged on to get their achievement. On February 25th, 537 360 Voice users showed up for Xbox 360 Achievements' event to get their Achievement. This could be taken as an indicator of how successful either site's go at the Achievement was, or just shows how many people at x360a use 360 Voice.

Either way, it's interesting to look at the aftermath and draw your own conclusions. We're guessing the spike in late January was the first attempt that didn't get as much attention. It's also interesting to look at the complete analysis and see how many people were online when the game launched back in September. This is also a reminder to any community sites out there: If you want X3F to support/sponsor any event you're holding send us an email and we'll be in touch.

X3F sponsors NBA Live Achievement event

We've told you, we've reminded you, and now we're officially sponsoring the 1,000 People Online Achievement Event alongside MyGamerCard and Xbox 360 Achievements. The scheduling hasn't changed, as it's still slated for 8:00 PM GMT (check your local time), and will last for 3 hours. This is going to be big and we're proud to be an integral part of this. Even Major Nelson recognized this by letting his readers know what was going down this weekend. Remember, this is going to be your last chance to get this Achievement. So, if you missed out on Achieve360Points moderately successful attempt, go get your hands on a copy of NBA Live 07 and we'll see you online Sunday.

Achieve360Points NBA Live Achievement Successful

Filed under: News, Xbox Live, Multiplayer


The first of two attempts at the "1000 people online" Achievement for NBA Live 07 went down on the 10th, hosted by Achieve360Points.com. It started at 8:00 PM EST and they had the required 1000 online users at 8:10 PM EST. Unfortunately, it didn't go down without a hiccup or two. Apparently, while people who actually were in the lobby got the Achievement, everyone else who was just listening to the ESPN Radio or another activity while online did not. That sucks, since those very people counted towards the total online count. A360P is going to try to get a hold of EA and see if they can award the Achievement to those deserving who did not get acknowledged during the event. Well, at the very least, they have another shot on the 25th, and after this past weekend's "troubleshooting", they know what to do to be eligible for the 100 Gamerscore. Were you at the event, and if you didn't get the Achievement, are you going to give it another shot on the 25th?

Achieve360Points Holds NBA Live 07 Achievement Event [update 1]

Achieve360Points.com is hosting a similar event to x360a's previously reported NBA Live 07 1000 people online Achievement event. For those who can't make it for the 25th's attempt, or simply can't wait that long to unlock the achievement, A360P is holding the event on the 10th-11th of this month, scheduled nearly two weeks before Xbox360Achievements.org's. A360P's event is on a slightly different schedule, taking place in the evening at 8:00 PM Eastern as opposed to the Sunday afternoon (3:00 PM EST) for x360a. In any case, it will be interesting to see if both succeed, and if so, who had the most users online. We hope to see you go online and help either event succeed.

Update: Altered article to neutral point of view.

X360A.org goes for elusive NBA Live 07 Achievement

Filed under: News, Xbox Live, Multiplayer, Fan stuff, Game announcements


Our friends at Xbox 360 Achievements are organizing an event to unlock the "Online With 1000 People" Achievement for NBA Live 07. So far, no one has unlocked this yet, but here's your chance to be part of what may be your only chance to get the 100 Gamerscore Achievement. So mark your calendars, because this is happening on Sunday, February 25th at 8:00 PM GMT. So for our North American readers, that's 3:00 PM EST and 12:00 Noon PST. Central and Mountain time zones are relied on to have passed Grade 2 Math at this point in their life and are on their own.

According to EA Sports, you do not need to be playing a game to be counted as online, but can just listen to the ESPN radio service. Apparently, during x360a's last attempt, which was on very short notice, they got an astonishing 917 people online. This time has a lot more lead time, and is getting a lot more publicity. We hope they pull through, and all of you fanboys out there should do your part. If you own NBA Live 07, sign on during the specified time on the 25th. If you don't then use Gamefly, GameAccess, or Blockbuster to get your hands on a copy by 3 weeks from now. Come on, let's make some Xbox 360 history here. Are you going to "Jump In"?
