It's official: Real Rewards for 360 points whoring

Postby Corizzle » Tue Feb 06, 2007 7:35 pm

Basically, on the low end you can earn a free copy of Contra from the marketplace. Anyone can get that easily as if you are at that low of gamerscore you probably haven't done many of the easy achievements yet(King Kong, sports games) so 1500 would be very easy to get.

If you are already a points whore they are rewarding you with a chance at getting Fuzion Frenzy 2(not the greatest game but hey, better then nothing) but it does mention that rewards can be limited.

Only bad thing is it is US only, leaving us canucks out in the cold. Hopefully future rewards can be had in Canada and worldwide

I only have like 2500 points, so I'm going to try to get the Contra package.

Where contests are available depends on its sponsors. I'm sure when Microsoft gets a Canadian sponsor we'll have the same contest.

My gamerscore is 7429, I might try and get to 10,000. See if I can hire some easy games like King Kong. lol

I'm seriously considering a 360 when i start my new job... Whats the easiest/quickest way to get a high gamerscore? (aside from the deal above)... A couple of people have already told me that Gamefly is the best bet...

There is only two ways to get you score up really quick. You could spend tons of money buying/renting lots of games (even the bad ones). Or spend A LOT of time and effort playing a few to get all 1000 pts for each. This is why I really stopped caring since all the achievement whores have to go out and get every game out there to get easy points, it kind of ruins the original fun. But I still like the points to push me to do more in a game that I originally wouldn't do and you can still brag to people about how you have more points in a specific game you have.

It's still fun for me. But it won't be fun when the Xbox 720 is looming on the horizon and everyone has like 100,000 gamerpoints.

I already have Contra too, but I'm going to give it a shot as well.

With NBA 2K6 all 1000 achievements can be unlocked in like an hour. Madden 06's achievements are easy peasy as well.

I can't take part for two reasons.

One: I'm not in the US.
