Election 2012 coverage comes to Xbox Live August 27

4.4
Your Xbox 360 could just serve as your hub for 2012 US election season, Microsoft has announced. Beginning August 27, Xbox Live members will be able to access the Election 2012 hub, which promises to include NBC News coverage, information about candidates, daily polls and live coverage of the presidential debates and the Democratic and Republican conventions. Certain events, including the debates, will also allow viewers to participate in live polls. Users will even be able to register to vote via their console.

This isn't the first time Microsoft has dabbled in Xbox Live election coverage. The company hosted a similar program during the 2008 election.

Conditions I dont think they people are going to care about this, they are trying to game..


yeah, maybe teenagers but you'd be surprised the amount of people who'd like this.


Yeah theres a bunch of older kids who play xbox, even parents who might be intrested

Why would you guys even bring this up? It's so pointless and stupid. Who cares if lifeless teenagers are trying to game and won't care about this?

This is true. But it would be pretty pointless adding it. Yeah, there will Xbox users who will use it.
