[gonepostl]

The reward system is retarded. If you have the time to reach these acheivements for these bullsh1t "prizes" then I pity you and your mother.

i can't log in but i was able read the rules. it states that all you need to do is make 1,500 points by april 12.

they maybe bullshit prizes to you but to some people its not. thats your opinion, but if you cant make 1,500 achievements in 2 months than you're not a gamer i made that in the last couple of days since i didn't have anything better to do, so you can make a few achievements and get free **** and if you don't you don't. life goes on

What?! You wouldn't wear an Old Spice T-Shirt?! What about the arcade version of Contra?! There's also Fuzion Frenzy 2! Hmmmm... yeah, you have a point there, the prizes do pretty much suck ass. I wonder if Fuzion Frenzy 2 will have a "not for resale" label on it...otherwise you can try to exchange it at a store somewhere. I think the only "prize" that might be actually usable is the 200 gamer points, but 200 pts will only get you something stupid like horse armor on oblivion. 200 pts is only worth something like $2.50 isn't it? People are going to be busting their ass and playing overtime to make $2.50? How about you wash my car instead, or work at Mcdonalds for a half hour.

Welp I saw this line on the rewards page ...
And no, your Rb6 points won't count. Sorry. Its from the time of registration only.

For some Xbox Rewards Challenges, you will need to have access an Xbox 360™ console with a memory unit or a hard drive, an Xbox Live Gold or Silver-level subscription, and specific Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade games.



As for the person whos hating on achievement points for prizes... wtf? I plan on playing my 360 anyways why not get some prizes, even if this go around they're not that great.

No, I'm glad I decided not to buy a 360 at launch........at all to be true. Enjoy halo and gears of war after a year. That's about it for another year as well sucka! And don't try to justify it. You 360 owners always sound oh so rediculouse trying to make it seem like it was worth the money.

Matter of perception I guess. Richest company in the world hosting some jank online service, charging premium, and THIS is how they reward you!? By giving you live points that you couldn't use without using some of your own cash, giving you fusion frenzy as a game (please), kontra on the live arcade?

Gates is swimming in your money, and after he burns it to heat his bedroom. I laugh at all of you.

[Ephemeris]

Bleh. Can't get through. Finally hooked up my 360 and was gonna give this a shot.

*shrugs*

So why do you play a game?

To beat it, to get the highest score, a sense of achievement?

People have been playing games for no reward for decades, they do it because they enjoy it, they do it for any number of reasons, with or without xbox rewards they will continue you to do it, the only differance is there is now a reward for doing it.

Is the reward small and worthless, yes maybe it is, but your missing the point, i'm sorry Sony's online experiance is so poor but that doesn't mean you have to knock MS.

Umm...all you have to do is, if you haven't played King Kong, rent that, easy 1000 achievement points, then all you have to do is earn 500 more :D!

So if you don’t have a 360, than you then you have no reason to talk about it. I told you in a similar post that you should add yourself to the list of fanboys on your signature. Because with you’re remarks you sound worse than them. And before you start saying that I’m a fanboy, I’ve had every Sony console ever made including the PS3. I returned it before the time was up. The games suck! Come on the only reason RFOM is getting good reviews is because it’s a launch title. If I wanted to play call of duty I’ll play call of duty. I cant figure out why they don’t let you connect to you PC or why you cant play music during game, I mean how hard could this be? My Xbox 360 does this with no problem. Well let me get back on subject.

So you say the Gates and MS are swimming in our money. So where does that leave every other company that we purchase are stuff from? So you are trying to tell me that, Panasonic, Pioneer, JVC, LG Electronics, SONY and Nintendo, give you prizes for using there products. **** as much TV my wife watches she should have gotten a car or something like that. And my home theater gets about as much use as my video game consoles, I can’t play with out it anymore. It doesn’t matter that what they are giving us it’s the point that they’re trying to please there customers. Even if its in a small way, remember that MS is still losing money on each console sold and the sponsor of this is old spice. Konami probably said hey give them contra. What ever the reason is it doesn’t matter it’s the point that they’re giving you a prize for doing something that you already do if you frequent this site, play games. Usually when they do these type of things its to test the waters, maybe they’ll see it went great and give better prizes.:)
