The folks at Xbox have asked us to find 8 Mumsnetters to try out the Xbox 360 console, Kinect bundle, Kinect Disneyland Adventures and Pixar Rush games with their families and then give their feedback on Mumsnet.

This is open to all UK MNers who:

  • Have at least one child aged 4-11 years
  • Will be available during the Easter holidays to take part in testing (w/c 2 Apr and/or w/c 9 Apr)
  • Don't currently own an Xbox
  • Are willing to video and take photos of themselves and their families playing the games

If you're selected to take part, you'll be sent an Xbox 360 console, a Kinect bundle, and the Kinect Disneyland Adventures & Pixar Rush games.

You'll also be sent a video camera so you can film and take photos of you and your family playing the games. Your footage will then feature in a video which will appear on the Xbox Kinect Facebook page, the Xbox pages on Mumsnet and possibly elsewhere. You will get to keep the video camera after the testing.

All testers will be asked to add at least two lots of written feedback to a thread on Mumsnet per week during the two-week testing period (w/c 2nd Apr and w/c 9th Apr). Everyone who does so will be entered into a prize draw to win the following Xbox games and extras: Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, Kinect Joyride, Star Wars, Dance Central game, Lips I Love the 80'S (1 mike bundle), Xbox Live 2100 points, and 12 month Xbox LIVE Gold membership (RRP £378).

If you're interested in taking part please sign up here.

We'll be in touch with chosen testers by Fri 30th Mar.

Thanks and good luck!

Done, after seeing the trailer for the new game I am wetting myself with excitement the children are now asking that if we are not selected, please could the Easter Bunny bring us an Xbox etc etc instead of chocolate!1 This must be good :)

Done, looks like our only realistic chance to get an XBox, I hope they pick meGrin.

Thankyou - I've signed up on a long shot that we might get lucky Smile

Ds1 is poorly this week, they've only got one dsi to share and so this seems like a very good idea! We've never had a playstation or x box, (and I hate the Wii their friends have got), so would be very interested to try one out.

Thankyou Smile

TheOtherHelenMumsnet · 29/03/2012 10:22

Moodykat and TheScottishPlayer - yes, do sign up!

SleepingWithGhosts and winterland - yes, we've got your application thanks
