neoadorable Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 heh heh that pic with the kid was hilarious. i was being jocular when asking why not Marlboro, but then again i am a smoker and maintain a strict five-stick per day habit. durex would be nice tho as well. thanks for posting the press release spartan it made things a lot clearer...i now see that you don't get the prizes automatically upon registering, but rather placed in those levels with each one leadingto POSSIBLE prizes should you accept the challenges. hey why not?

ahhell Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Uh you guys do realize that you have to EARN those points in the next few months. If you already have 10000 points, you get squat.

Pilsbury Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ohh too bad! I just learned new info about the HDMI solution for the Xbox 360, but since you don't want to know anything about it I'll just let it go... :devil: ;) Which is what exactly? Why not post details of your own findings instead of doing what you always do, which is simply to post links to MS info already on the web...

spacer Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Guys. Excuse the bit of language, but they're giving away free sh** for doing something you normally don't get anything but enjoyment out of (just playing the games). You should be happy they are doing this at all.So the prizes aren't much to you? So don't care about it then. Just go along playing the games for yourself like you always have in the past and let the people who do care get the stuff. And sure, there are people that let others get their points for them, but you've already stated that the awards aren't worth it, so I don't see the big deal. -Spenser +1 MS finally gives free rewards out for your gamerscores and you people go ballastic and bitch that its not worth it. Seriously, get over yourselves.

Huleboeren Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Since this is a pilot program, we're starting with the US, but the team is already talking about what they can do in other regions. Yeah right MS doesnt care about the rest of the world!

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 7, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2007 I cannot reveal my source as it goes way, way deep, but earlier today I was passed along an exclusive first look at one of the free gamer Pics that are being given away for spending all of those hard earned hours... The Limited Edition Old Spice Hairy Arm Pit Gamer Picture. If I have time, oops I mean if my source comes through with some more exclusives, I will be sure to get my hands on that Old Spice Theme as well. :rofl: ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/536707-xbox-live-members-earn-rewards-for-achievements/page/2/#findComment-588300870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoadorable Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ahhell, i think you misunderstood. your current points put you in a level upon registration, and then you gotta earn 1500 over what you had at registration to qualify for the prizes. it is rather unseemly that MS is constantly shunning most gamers by limiting these events/promos to the US only.
