Microsoft is aiming to set a second Xbox related Guinness world record this Easter.

The software giant’s Kinect accessory broke a Guinness World Record earlier this year. Guinness World Records has officially named Kinect for Xbox 360 the fastest-selling consumer electronics device, which sold an average of 133,333 units per day for a total of eight million units in its first 60 days between November 4, 2010 and January 3, 2011. Microsoft is now trying to set a second Guinness World record, but it needs your help.

Xbox Nations is holding a free Xbox Live Gold preview this weekend (21-25 April). Microsoft wants the Xbox community to set a record for the “most people running a virtual 100m dash at one time.” In order for you to be eligible, you simply have to download a free Xbox Nations gamer pic and play Kinect Sports sprint mini-game whilst connected to Xbox LIVE at the time listed below:

  • 6pm UK Saturday 23/04
  • 7pm CET Saturday 23/04
  • 10am PDT Saturday 23/04
  • 1pm EDT Saturday 23/04

Everyone who downloads the gamer pic and completes the record attempt will be rewarded with a free Guinness World Records avatar tee (see above).
