Achievement points for Microsoft Points!!
Remember way back when the 360 launched and people would constantly ask what was the point for achievements and why you just got an “empty number” and no rewards for getting a lot, like MS points?? Well you probably don’t if you don’t read the Xbox.com forums ‘cause that’s what all the threads where the first couple months after launch. What’s the point of achievements??
Well big news (for me at least)

According to Xbox.com I will be under level 3-10,000 achievement points+, I actually have currently 15,160 points =) So if I earn 1,500 achievement points by April 12th, I can get some MS points, an arcade game, an exclusive gamer picture and some more!
Read the links on how to sign up and so on, you don’t even need to have a gold live account access if I read correctly, just a working Microsoft network password on the computer. Double-check this, I am not to concerned since I had live for over 4+ years now. I just hope Feb. 12 I can register and don’t get left behind…. All that money I pumped into that market place, I best get in son!
Edit: So far this is only for US only, sorry Vamp...=(
*** ****ing ****it. I was all excited and then read the edit. I bet I can't just change my location and **** either.
Also, too lazy to read the articles. But I have just over 5,000 points. What would I get?
Those are ****ing ****ty prizes. Guess I'm not missing out on much.
I will take a FREE arcade game I don't own all ready any day. Hay man, I would be excited if it was just a gamerpicture as a prize, after a year and a couple months of collecting achievements to up my gamerscore it's nice to see some prizes for my hard work. If it makes you feel any better Vamp I will take a picture of myself wearing nothing but the Old Spice Shirt when I get it, sound good!?
**** YEAH!
what if you already have contra and fuzion frenzy 2? is there any reason to take part in this? will the prizes change?
Hm, I should borrow a 360 game and get into the level 2, only need like 200 or 300 to break the 5,000 mark. Doesn't help much that I haven't gotten a game since Gears of War, and before that it was... last February. LOL SHOOTERS ARENT THAT FUN
Rainbow Six? ^_________________________^
Well, unfortunately I have to play Crackdown later this month, and I'm gonna try to pick up Lost Planet, so maybe I'll be rockin' free Contra HELL YEAH.
I'm not a big... Rainbow Six guy.
i already have contra but i will rent/buy king kong just to get into level two for the next round my gs is olny 1685 (i got my 360 in december)
I plan to sign up for this. A free $50 game, Contra, 200 MS points, and a free T-shirt! Who doesn't like free T-shirts?
is anybody else having trouble signing up?
i cant find out where to sign up
Haha, an Old Spice T-Shirt is too fitting.
Wait, so can I wait til a few days when my gamerscore will be above 5,000 then register and be in the level 2 thing?
i dno thats why im asking
**** it i've been trying periodically all day and cant sign in .... anyone have any luck?
nope you have to sign in twice once for xbox.com and once for windos id
with fire fox i got to the second one
ok i finally signed in but i dno if i am registerd for the challange it sais that
Currently signed up for 0 Challenges
but at the top it sais increace your gamerscore by 1500 by april 12th
however when i click on it i get an error page http://xboxrewards.msgamestudios.com/error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/challengesandrewards/ChallengeDetail.aspx
i won already..i got everything because im level 3 :)
I decided not to try because the prize quantities reeked of fail.
100 MICROSOFT POINTS!!
edit: dude, you only have 25 more to go!!!
On top of another 1,500 after signing up. Jee wiz!
Anybody else feel like Microsoft is acting like one big collective jabroni and denying sign ups for this freaking thing? I've been trying to sign up for it since it started and it still won't let me. I want an Old Spice shirt so badly too.
I wouldn't mind having an Old Spice shirt even though I don't wear Old Spice. I just want to own it. <3
I'd only wear it because of their new commercial. Maybe I'm just easily amused.
**** this. I finished the contest yesterday, and went online to claim my prizes, and it says both Fuzion Frenzy and the T-shirt are out of stock. :grrr:
Honestly, they give us two months for this, and everything's already gone after a week. At least I get contra and a gamer pic. Yay.
I got all 5 prizes for level 3, they had me confirm my mailing address for my game and shirt, agagaga!
How did I get 1,500 points you ask?
Pac Man-170
Miss Pac Man- 170
King Kong- 1000
Test Drive- 10
BomberMan Act Zero- 100 something
Having to beat King Kong and actually play BomberMan I should get some free swag....
