Honda is hoping that the chance to win a Honda Insight will be motivation enough to get some folks into Microsoft's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/xbox-live-primetime">Xbox Live Primetime</a> channel, set to launch on May 15. The Japanese giant will be sponsoring the release of the Xbox 360's new online space through a "Play &amp; Win" campaign, forcing participants stuck in queue in the waiting room to watch ads for the car before being thrust into an open game. In the end, the overall winner of "Play &amp; Win" will be gifted a 2010 Honda Insight, allowing them to drive around and quietly judge everyone else that isn't a hybrid owner.<br /><br /><a href="http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=135362">Source</a> - AdAge (subscription required) [Via <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/03/25/honda-insight-will-be-top-prize-for-xbox-play-and-win-gamers/">Autobloggreen</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/08/honda-sponsors-launch-of-xbox-live-primetime/">Honda sponsors launch of Xbox Live Primetime</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:48:00 EST.

From January 25th through the 28th you'll have a chance to play games and win the goods over Xbox Live. But, there's some bad news. The game you'll have to play to be entered into the giveaway is ... gulp ... <em>Kane &amp; Lynch: Dead Men</em>. We know, we know, that totally puts a damper on the Play &amp; Win fun, but look on the bright side of things. There's hundreds of prizes to be won. Oh crap, there's actually only one prize to win. What the hell? We guess they're only giving away one grand prize that includes the <em>Rambo</em> box set, a <em>Rambo</em> military jacket and (get this) assorted Rambo tattoos, postcards, coasters, and stencils. Hmm, on second thought, maybe <em>Kane &amp; Lynch</em> gaming and this Play &amp; Win stuff isn't worth the hassle. That is unless you have a thing for <em>Rambo</em> stencils.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/24/play-and-win-with-your-good-pal-rambo/">Play &amp; Win with your good pal Rambo</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 24 Jan 2008 15:30:00 EST.
