"Xbox Ambassadors" have received
their welcome emails from Microsoft in preparation for the first "Free Xbox Live Gold" promotion this
weekend. As the Madeline Albrights of the Xbox 360 community, Ambassadors are expected hold hands and speak slowly as
they guide confused Newbs through those first intimidating steps into the scary world that is Xbox Live:
What we'd like from you is that you spend some time on Xbox Live during the Gold
Weekend. Please clear some space on your friends list for new friends. Take some time to chat and play games with the
new gamers, answer questions that you feel comfortable answering; otherwise refer questions to Xbox.com.
PR person for a day! Who could pass that up? And no, telling a pupal player that
shaking his console will improve graphic performance is not part of the program.
This reminds me of
the well-meaning dorks who used to give campus tours at my university. Would you have benefited from an Xbox
Ambassador, or is the concept just a little too Mr. Rogers for your elitist geek taste?
