You read the title correctly… According to Major Nelson if you’re in the United States, Doritos and Xbox are teaming up to give you a chance to create your own Xbox 360 video game. As of August 31st, the registration opened at www.unlockxbox.com. So if you would like to see $50,000.00 added to your bank account then I suggest signing up today! I wonder how it will work if some of the developer who’ve already created games just slap Doritos all over the game they already created. I’m sure there is something in the terms that would prevent that.
