1. Play and Win: Just play a game sometime on November 15th and you may be eligible to get some free gifts, including five first place VIP accessory kits, five second place Xbox 360 HD DVD players or five third place Xbox 360 Wireless racing wheels.
2. Frag Doll Friday: Game with the infamous Frag Dolls and get your butt whipped by a female! On November 16th, the ladies will play Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon. This appears to be a weekly ordeal.

Want to relive some history? During E3 2002, Microsoft gave the official announcement of Xbox Live and a $2 billion commitment to the new system. Remember a time when Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Brute Force, NFL Fever 2003 and Unreal Championship weren’t even released yet; that’s May 2002.
