Some type of promo/prize thingy for XBox 360... weird site though.  Seems no one really knows what it is yet.

LOL I meant no one knows what Origen is yet.  A store, a promo term, a prize, a exclusive launch party etc.

[Mr. Analog]

Well, it's always good to know what's behind some of these sites.

Did anyone enter this weeks contest? ...scratch that, for EU people only boooooo!

Yeah, you'd think the Union Jack but no Stars & Stripes would be a giveaway



I'm guessing it's just XBox 360 Live for EU consumers or something.
