Community Playdate: Entertainment Consumers Association

Published January 30, 2009

Gamers' rights are under attack all across the world, preyed upon by misinformed individuals who can't, or won't, understand our favorite avocation. What's the solution? The ECA, or Entertainment Consumers Association! Members and officers of the ECA, the advocacy organization for consumers of interactive entertainment, will play Xbox LIVE® Gold members in Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™ on March 1.

Share shots with the ECA.

The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is a nonprofit advocacy organization and community for gaming consumers. The mission of ECA is to not only give gamers substantial educational and affinity benefits such as discounts, but also to provide an opportunity to connect with a community of like-minded and passionate gamers. Through the efforts of gamers, ECA protects our collective gaming rights and lets our voice be heard.

If you get a chance to play with members of the ECA, we want to hear all about it! We'll be posting recaps from gamers all across the country. Send us an email at xlmail@microsoft.com with the subject: "Community Playdate – ECA." Be sure to include your Gamertag and home town!
