Xbox 360 "rewards"

bigmike8119 · 02-07-2007

On February 12, visit Xbox.com | Xbox News - Xbox Rewards: Take Your Gaming to the Next Level for more information and be one of the first to register for Xbox Rewards and the Old Spice Experience Challenge.

Participation
After registering, you will automatically be placed into one of three Rewards Levels based on your current gamerscore. Your level will determine the rewards you are eligible for during each Challenge. The more you play, the higher you can advance, and the bigger the pay-out.

Level 1 (0 – 4,999 annual Gamerscore): You are developing your skills and gaining experience. Take some time to get used to the program and learn your way around. The Challenges will typically be easier and the rewards smaller.
Level 2 (5,000 – 9,999 annual Gamerscore): We are going to turn up the heat a bit. You have proved that you know how to play and are willing to put in the gaming time to reap the benefits. The Challenges will get a bit more difficult. Never fear, the reward value goes up as well.
Level 3 (over 10,000 annual Gamerscore): This is an arena filled with the who's who of gaming. We don't want to claim that Level 3 is an exclusive club, but if you find yourself winning Challenges here, you've obviously pulled out the big guns, so enjoy while it lasts.

Xbox Rewards is not a hall of fame, and there are no honorary life members. In order to maintain your Rewards Level, you have to continue to play on top. Rewards Levels are based on how many Gamerscore you gain each calendar year.
Xbox Rewards Challenge 1: Old Spice Experience Challenge
Old Spice is teaming with Xbox on the first Xbox Rewards Challenge to prove that Experience is Everything. Starting February 12, you will be challenged to increase your Gamerscore by 1,500 or more before April 12. Successfully complete the Challenge and get a Rewards Package*, and Old Spice will give you the gift of experience—all Level 1 and 2 participants will receive a level upgrade for 2007.
Ready to get your Rewards Package? The first step is to register for Xbox Rewards and join the Old Spice Experience Challenge. Then, it's up to you to complete the task within the time limit. You can't register until February 12. Some of the rewards within the Rewards Package are limited in quantity, and will be distributed to those who complete the challenge the fastest, so be quick about it.
The Rewards Packages listed below are unique to the Old Spice Experience Challenge. Each new Challenge will bring new rewards.

Seems way to easy, all people have to do is get 2 games with easy achievments, and dont play it until Feb 12th. Or play the game on a different account to get used to it, then play it on yours at feb 12, and get more then 1,500 gamerscore in less then a couple days, mabie even in 1 day, depends how committed, and how much of a life you have.

I rather play fair, once feb 12 comes i'll try to finish Rainbow Six Vegas/Smackdown Vs Raw 2007/Call Of Duty 3/Oblivion, for sure i will have more then 1500 before arpil even starts...

I heard they were giving out "real" rewards, but is it really worth it?

You spend $60 on 2 games to get 2000 points or whatever, and you receive a $5 game and a picture?

The level 3 rewards sound like something level 2 should get, maybe even level 1.

And couldn't they find a better sponsor than old spice?! At least get the bigger side of Microsoft into it and give us some Microsoft games at the least!

Not really something that gets my juices going if you will.

They need to make it worth our while, like at least giving level 1 some MS points, or even 2 free arcade games or something.*

*Speaking of which, still haven't got my arcade games from that e-mail 2 months ago.

I know all we are doing is gaming, but they expect us to pay for games, and get meaningless rewards for playing those games until our eyes explode.

i had really high hopes when i heard rumors of this type of program. maybe next time it'll actually be worth the time to participate.

p.s. what's to stop someone from just starting a new profile and replaying the easy achievment games all week to "rank up"?

I also didn't know the gamerscore was broken down into time frames. (Such as the annual or whatever)

If they start getting all technical on it, it wont be worth it and they will need to update the dashboard so we can see each time frame's gamerscore.

I hope they get a new sponsor for a future program and give us something good.

I've always dreamed of walking around my town in an Old Spice T-Shirt. Maybe if I unlock 30,000 Achievment Points in the 2 Months they'll throw in a Stick of Deodorant ( Spicy Musk Scent ) of course. Or maybe a bottle of Old Spice Cologne with the Ship on it that my Great Great Grandfather was buried with.

Anybody get their Diamond Club card Yet ? That's where the real rewards are at.
