We love Canada, and Canada loves the Xbox 360. Which is exactly why we decided to give Canadian Xbox 360 owners a chance to win some Microsoft Points as part of GameNorth’s Canada Day festivities!
With Canada turning 142 years old today, we originally wanted to give away 142 Microsoft Points. Unfortunately, it would be difficult to find something worth purchasing on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 142 Microsoft Points, and Microsoft doesn’t sell them in that denomination anyways. So, we decided to multiply that value by ten, giving us the more attractive sum of 1420 Microsoft Points. Sadly, Microsoft doesn’t sell Microsoft Points in THAT denomination either. Sure, there was a 1400 Microsoft Points card, but that would involve rounding down, and we hate rounding things down at GameNorth. Instead, we decided to bump it up to 2800 Microsoft Points!
To enter the contest, simply comment on this article and tell us how you plan to spend (or spent) Canada Day this year. On Friday July 3rd, 10am Eastern Standard Time, we will randomly select one of the comments and award the Microsoft Points to the author. All comments written up to the time of the draw will be considered eligible!
For rules and eligibility, please read our official contest rules. Failure to comply with these rules will result in disqualification from the contest and potential exile from the nation of Canada.
Good luck, and check out our other Canada Day contest here.

post canada day.. very hung over ahhhhhh HELP!
I went to Niagra Falls and stayed at the Sheraton hotel. At the end of the trip, I was on the balcony with my family and we watched the fireworks. Great fun
Chilled with family and friends while watching the fireworks show.
Played with the kids in the back yard. Good fun!
I enjoyed waking up to a morning of Halo 3 on Legendary, then headed to three differnt Canada day events with my friend in our city and finished with a hour-long backyard fireworks show.
I’m probably going to sit at home, and grind some locust up with my chainsaw!
I had a great Canada with my gf and roomy at various Canada festivities. Having a contest is a great way to celebrate Canada Day. Good luck everyone.
Spent time with friends and family that visited us in Houston BC. Very small town but we still got to watch some fireworks!
I spent Canada Day in Barrie on the water for the fireworks. Nothing huge or special but it was a nice little time spent together.
