US has officially launched the gamer score for rewards program. Major Nelson was quick to mention that their "marketing team is looking to have global opportunities available in the near future". Guess its more incentive to rack up those achievement points.

Here's some excerpts copied from Xbox.com:

"On February 12, Xbox(R) is teaming up with Old Spice to bring you Xbox Rewards and the Old Spice Experience Challenge.
Xbox Rewards offers casual and hardcore gamers alike the chance to earn actual rewards for doing what they enjoy-playing games, earning achievements, and having fun.

Starting February 12, you will be challenged to increase your Gamerscore by 1,500 or more before April 12. Successfully complete the Challenge and get a Rewards Package*, and Old Spice will give you the gift of experience-all Level 1 and 2 participants will receive a level upgrade for 2007.

Level 1 (0 - 4,999 annual Gamerscore): You are developing your skills and gaining experience. Take some time to get used to the program and learn your way around. The Challenges will typically be easier and the rewards smaller.
Rewards:
The popular Xbox Live Arcade game Contra (rated: E10+) from Konami (Retail Value $5.00)

An experience upgrade to Xbox Rewards Level 2

Level 2 (5,000 - 9,999 annual Gamerscore): We are going to turn up the heat a bit. You have proved that you know how to play and are willing to put in the gaming time to reap the benefits. The Challenges will get a bit more difficult. Never fear, the reward value goes up as well.
Rewards:
The popular Xbox Live Arcade game Contra (rated: E10+) from Konami

100 Microsoft Points
An experience upgrade to Xbox Rewards Level 3

Level 3 (over 10,000 annual Gamerscore): This is an arena filled with the who's who of gaming. We don't want to claim that Level 3 is an exclusive club, but if you find yourself winning Challenges here, you've obviously pulled out the big guns, so enjoy while it lasts."
Rewards:

200 Microsoft Points
Old Spice T-Shirt (Estimated Retail Value $10.00)
A copy of Fuzion Frenzy 2 game (rated: E10+) (Estimated Retail Value $50.00)"

Good marketing technique by Microsoft to raise software sales.
Hopefully once the program reaches this side of the world, Malaysia would be included (my wishful thinking)!

So whats your thoughts on the program and was the inclusion of the achievement score Xbox360 a good move?
To me its one of the small things that help distinguish this console against the other next gens and assisted to a certain extent to raise the attachment rates!

eh? no free burger king meals?
anyway exchanging GS for MS points or themes/picts sounds like a good deal. StripClubDj FTW!

for malaysian xblive gamers, go to waitlonglong.com

or alternatively, u can visit tankuku.com.my too

Even if they start the program in Sg don't think we are eligible to earn the rewards since we are not Singaporeans!

LOL what's with the "achievement unlocked" sigs?.. watch porn on 360, 3ROD ur 360
