Microsoft's Xbox LIVE Rewards Program

Not to be outdone by Sony, which recently announced its PlayStation Rewards program, Microsoft is now joining the fray with Xbox Live Rewards.​

​

Official MS mouthpiece Major Nelson broke the news on his blog today, revealing a Xbox Live Rewards website where you can go to sign up for the program, which is free to all Gold level Xbox Live members. Once you join, you'll be able to earn Microsoft Points by doing many of the things you're already doing on Xbox Live.​

​

The chart below shows some of the things you can do to earn Microsoft Points, and the attendant point values of each of those actions. However, there is likely more to this picture, as the Nelson says you can earn rewards by "watching movies and sports, playing games and more."​

​

Nothing all that exciting, spend money and you get a little bit of money. Too bad actually earning achievements doesn't give you any of these rewards.​

Definitely a good way to promote activity on the Xbox Live network. Hell, I'll keep this in mind and purchase a Gold membership every 12 months... and this time renew it immediately as it expires. Good way to get MS Points. Yay.

Signed up, i mean its free and rewarding us for things that we would be doing anyway.

Indeed, free is free.

Just signed up as well, gives a little bit more of a reason to be a Gold Member.

Im hoping its just the beginning as the idea has been rushed out.
