Microsoft is hosting one helluva party. Well, to be specific, lots of parties. In celebration of the Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays promotion, Microsoft wants you to throw an Arcade Party. What's more, they'll even give you everything you need: a pizza from Papa John's, free music downloads, and 1000 MS points to download Arcade titles. In return Microsoft wants pictures of your party and an explanation of what you did. Did you turn Frogger into a drinking game? Did one guy eat all the pizza before yakking it up on your 360? You get the idea.If you'd like to throw an Arcade party on Microsoft's tab, hit them up at: with "Arcade Party" in the subject line. I have no idea how many of these they're giving away so, good luck.
Note to self: turn Frogger into drinking game.
[Thanks, TxdoHawk]

I remember when Frogger was first released at the arcades (yeah, I'm that old). I didn't get it then, and I don't get it now. What kind of frog dies immediately when it jumps in the water?

Frogger is okay. I'm not a huge fan of the arcade version, and the Xbox version 'seems' faithful. The head to head version is interesting, but it feels like they cranked the speed down to slow.
As far as the party in a box, glad to see it mentioned here. It's a great deal. Free pizza. Free Microsoft Points (free games!) And free music.

This sounds like a great idea to me. Microsoft is going out and actively promoting the XBL Arcade, and maybe with the free points they can get even more people involved.

I am pleased to see this happening, but the method of collection seems a little questionable. Whoever has to shift through that list of e-mails grabbing gamertags is going to be one sad panda, unless they are just going to e-mail back everyone with a redemption code for the points.

@ 4
Or maybe since the gamercards are linked with an address when you signed up, it will get sent that way?

Unless you sent the email from an account different from your setup account. I never use my Hotmail account anymore.

Alex - Dress up in a few different outfits and take strategic photos, maybe photoshop it a bit, work the angles... Ha, this could actually be pretty funny.
