yeah thinking back i think that microsoft started a loyalty system for the years you are on xbox live so you get rewards if that is what it is i'm glad they are giving rewards for keeping an active live account

i dont think its for live because 4 times this year this has happened to me.

its something to do with halo 2

i think your right with that

Its because their shutting down original xbox live, so there giving all halo 2 players or origibox players 3month live and 400msp i believe.

It appears that "avid Halo 2 fans" have been getting - or are due to get - a nice little reward from Microsoft in light of the upcoming closure for Xbox Live on the original Xbox.

In an e-mail that seems to be doing the rounds today, those "avid" Halo 2 players will be getting 400 Microsoft points, three months of Xbox Live and a ticket on to the Halo: Reach beta this coming May 3rd.

What it takes to be hailed as an "avid" Halo 2 player is unknown at the moment and even our tipster wasn't quite sure what he did, but just be on the lookout for this mail if you consider yourself one of those players.

We're guessing the requirements are that you've played a set amount of games/hours in Halo 2 recently, otherwise we'd all be getting one.

The original Xbox Live shutdown is April 15th. The e-mails/MS points and extensions are going out now, with the beta codes coming around the beta's launch.

so back to my post, has any body else get it

It's from playing Halo 2. Check your email. I got it on both accounts

400msp, did even know you could get that and a time haha

thats a joke he couldnt of
