Microsoft today revealed that punk superstar, Steve Jones from legendary band The Sex Pistols, will be jamming with gamers from across Europe in a unique Game with Fame event on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock as part of the Xtival 07, LIVE Free weekend.

Steve will be picking up his guitar and logging on to Xbox LIVE on Saturday 24^th November at 20.00 UK / 21.00 Europe to play with selected gamers from across Europe, taking on hits new and old from the hotly anticipated new title. To be in with a chance to join Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols online for this unique event gamers simply need to download the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock demo from Xbox LIVE, get practicing and email their details and a photograph of their high score to the event organisers, telling Steve Jones why they want to play with him.

 

The lucky gamers across Europe will be sent a copy of the latest title and game guitar ready to rip it up on Xbox LIVE, and the top three selected to join Steve online will be emailed all the details they need to take part in the event. The gamer with the top score from this Game with Fame session will be crowned by Steve as European Champion and win a guitar signed by Steve Jones himself.

 

 

Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols said “I’m looking forward to seeing how they do playing some of our tracks on Guitar Hero III. It should be good to be able to play with them across the Atlantic via Xbox LIVE.”
