Help Microsoft set a Guinness world record for largest virtual 100m dashAre you one of the millions of Microsoft Kinect owners out there? Microsoft needs your help. During the Xbox Nations free Xbox Live Gold preview weekend (April 21-25) Microsoft wants the Xbox community to set a record for the “most people running a virtual 100m dash at one time.” Ready to help set a Guinness world record?

Let’s start with the important details: In order to participate you’ll obviously need a Xbox 360 and the Kinect sensor. Next, you’ll need to download a free Xbox Nations gamer pic and play Kinect Sports sprint mini-game while connected to Xbox Live at the appropriate time. For those in the UK that time would be 6pm on Saturday, April 23rd ( or 7pm CET / 10am PDT / 1pm EDT Saturday).

As a reward for your efforts, everyone who downloads the gamer pic and completes the record attempt will be given a free Guinness World Records avatar tee (seen above). Now that you’ve heard the scoop, who will be joining us on April 23rd? I think it might be time to get off the fence and buy the Kinect bundle.
