​My friends, we find ourselves clutching at the gates of something monumentally glorious. If you gaze at its shrouded wonder long enough, you may catch a glimpse of the gilded door and what lies beyond. What could this wonderment possibly be, what could bring about this feeling of euphoria? Well its the Xbox Block Party of course! 

Here marks the end of all pretenses of actual excitement, and I will now fill you in on what you can expect if this Block Party has somehow managed to capture your interest.

-Xbox Live Silver members who purchase Toy Soldiers, Perfect Dark, and Scrap Metal -- all three Block Party titles releasing in March -- and then download the free Game Room will receive a five dollar credit.
-Xbox Live Gold members who do the same will get, in addition to the five dollar credit, a free month tacked onto their Xbox Live subscription.
-A free Gold Membership weekend is also scheduled in which Silver Members will be upgraded to Gold status. To my knowledge this is only for the duration of the weekend, and is limited to the three Block Party titles.

Now before you accuse me of being an unexcitable asshole, know that I don't think poorly of the Block Party XBLA games; in fact I'm looking forward to them. I just think the idea behind Block Party itself is unfathomably stupid.
