found this story on IGN. Here's their big source. hereI don't know if it is true, it sounds fishy in some ways, though this guy is a 360 MVP but if it is true that's a great idea. |
"We live in a country, where John Lennon takes six bullets in the chest, Yoko Ono was standing right next to him and not one fucking bullet! Explain that to me! Explain that to me, God! Explain it to me, God!" - Denis Leary summing up my feelings about the nature of the universe.

Camping is a legitimate strategy.

If it’s true that you need nothing more than to download an app to your 360 then what’s the problem? Worst case scenario it’s broken and only lasts a week or two. Otherwise it's almost expected, I mean it’s a game, winners get rewarded. But then again I have no idea what the rewards are. I suggest l33t gamerscore bling, like those colorful army ribbons for outstanding performance in a genre, or those chevrons that show enlisted rank for every 10,000 gamerpoints. But it'll probably just be a t-shirt.

Hey, where do you keep that gun?
-None of your damn business, Sam.
-Shall we dance?
-Lets!

I don't have any issues with it. It sounds like a great idea, and a brilliant marketing move, much like achievements in general. I just don't know if this blogger is blowing smoke or legitimately has some insider information.

My reward is simple; having a higher gamerscore than my friend. :mrgreen:

This was real. Xbox 360 is teaming up with Old Spice to bring the first Rewards Challenge to Xbox Live. Gamers will be charged with increasing their gamerscore by 1,500 between February 12 and April 12, 2007. That�s 60 days to bring your overall gamerscore up by 1,500 for the chance to earn a bounty of rewards. In order to participate, you need to have a valid Windows Live� ID with your Xbox LIVE� gamercard linked, be a legal resident of the 50 United States and District of Columbia (expect future challenges to be global in scope) and at least thirteen years-old.
Reward Package Qualifications
Level 1 (Gamers who have an annual gamerscore between 0-4,999 at time of entry): Game Picture, Dashboard theme, Contra for Xbox LIVE Arcade
Level 2 (5,000-9,999 annual gamerscore): Level 1 Package, 100 Microsoft Points and a contest T-shirt
Level 3 (10,000+ annual gamerscore): Level 1 Package, 200 Microsoft Points, contest T-shirt and Fusion Frenzy 2
In addition, Old Spice will give Level 1 and 2 the gift of experience by upgrading their Rewards Level for 2007.
Think you can do it? With more than $500,000 in total rewards, such as Microsoft Points and Xbox 360 games, it is time to tackle those unbeaten games and start unlocking Achievements, because this Spring the rewards go beyond just having an impressive gamerscore. Excuse the shitty formatting, happens to MS press releases sometimes. Anyway, yea, AWESOME. |
