It was revealed today that chart topping superstars, Scissor Sisters, will be taking on gamers from across Europe in a unique Game with Fame event on the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta via Xbox Live.
The band, who launched Xbox Soundtracks in February with their remixed version of “She’s My Man” cut to the Halo Wars trailer will be playing members of the 6 million strong Xbox Live community at 11.00 BST on 30th May 2007 direct from their hotel in France before going on stage later that day as part of their latest tour.
Since they unveiled the program at the Xbox Big Day Out 2007 earlier this year, the band have been joined by the likes of Roger Sanchez, Enter Shikari, Backyard Babies , DJs Russ Cuban and The Nextmen who have all created tracks inspired by the amazing next generation, high definition graphics of Xbox 360 games.
Gamers or musicians who fancy taking part themselves can also do so by creating the ultimate Xbox game soundtrack and uploading it to the Xbox Soundtracks site by 31st May 2007. Our judges will pick their favorites then the public will get to vote for the best on Xbox.com/music. The winner will make gaming history with the chance to lay down their track in a Universal Music studio. The competition opened earlier this month and hundreds of entries have already been received.
