ScrewyAurum Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It's always fun to see "Achievement Unlocked" pop up while playing a game. But as soon as this fall, it might make you happy for an entirely different reason. According to the official Twitter of Xbox Live Rewards, there's a program coming in the fall that will win you Rewards based on your Achievements. Xbox Live Rewards, as it stands right now, is essentially a cash-back rewards system, not unlike a credit card's rewards points, built into the Live experience. Gamers get rewards for renewing their Gold membership, playing in various promotions, and offering feedback to Microsoft about the user experience. It's optional, although joining the service is free. There's little information about what tying Rewards to Achievements would actually entail. Microsoft could go the direct route and put Points in your account for certain achievements, or unlocking specific Achievements could automatically enroll you into a contest.

Right Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Before we wet our pants...Rewards program isn't launched in India yet. :| Btw, at some point, I used to think that you can somehow encash the gamerscore for mspoints. Like 100points for 1000gs. :| Funny that day has come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrewyAurum Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 IGN asked Microsoft for additional details regarding the Reward system, to which spokesperson stated, "While the structure will be similar to past incentives for our members, we don't have any additional details to share at this time." The Rewards system currently gives users Microsoft Points for playing games, filling out surveys, and subscribing to Xbox Live. Scoring space bucks for earning Gamerscore isn't out of the question, then. No word on when this program will come into effect, but it's coming on its own -- our Microsoft spokesperson flat-out said "No" when we asked if it would come as part of a larger update. Is this something you existing Rewards members are looking forward to? Does it make you want to sign up? Let us know in the comments below. (Also, and this is just me, the Halo 10 medal or logo has the Mark VI.. Halo 2 remake for the X720?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Where screwy? oh look, they're trying to catch up with something steam did years ago. Steam copied the cheeves from xbox, didnt they?:| But like I said many thought GS is redeemable, it seems logical but then people were perfectly happy using it to show their e-peen.

ScrewyAurum Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Where what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Mark VI. Nevermind, got it now, wasnt able to see it on mobile. Halo 2 remake could be very well in production, but dont think CEA has sold really good to warrant that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
