Contestant will play Halo 3 for 72 hours to win an Xbox 360

[HEXUS]

A new website that challenges people to stay awake for 72 hours while taking part in a specified activity, is kicking off their live 3-day streaming with a gamer who will play Halo 3 with no sleep, purely for the chance to win a copy of the game and an Xbox 360.

some people worry me....

and, for 72 hours on minimum wage you could afford to buy a 360..... hell, you could probably do much better on a little above minimum wage and buy a PS3

Halo + 360 = £240ish
Average day at work = 8 hours.

72 / 8 = 9 working days.

I would be disappointed if didnt earn £240 in 3 days at work let alone "9".

Strangely, I fancy tuning in around the 2 1/2 day mark to watch him hallucinate or collapse. I remember staying awake for almost 48 hours playing Football Manager on the Spectrum, it wasn't particularly pleasant.

What an idiot! I think it's more about the internet fame than the console.

He'll probably die like those crazy Koreans that play WoW/Starcraft.

i wonder how many times he will see the master chief die at the end of halo 3?

please tell me your're joking

[Mblaster]

So he has to play Halo 3, on an Xbox 360 for 72 hours, so he can win Halo 3 and an Xbox 360? Both of which he already has, and probably doesn't want to use again for quite a while after that

please tell me your're joking

no, the master chief dies at the end of halo 3

hmm, guess i should have put a spoiler warning, really, shouldn't i.
