Unlocking Xbox Achievements may soon get you free MSP

4.5
If you are what's commonly referred to as an "Achievements Whore", you may soon have a real incentive to rake in those Xbox Gamerscore points besides feeling good about yourself on Xbox forums.

Microsoft has teased that it will soon be offering new 'rewards' based on the unlocking of Achievements in Xbox 360 games.
The announcement came from the official Twitter feed of the Xbox Live Rewards website, which teased, "Coming Fall: a new way to earn Rewards based on your Achievements!"

Further prying for details was dismissed by the MS rep, but those familiar with the Xbox Live Rewards site will know that it's a loyalty program that offers free Microsoft Points as rewards for completing specific and varying tasks.

That considered, we expect some Achievement-related MS Point rewards coming this Autumn. And that sounds pretty good to us.

BAD idea being that it's so easy to mod your gamerscore. They will need to fix all the problems at hand with modding before they even put that into question. Really cool idea though. Maybe like one microsoft point per achievement you unlock thereon when the program starts?

Hails This would be great, but wouldn't Microsoft + Game Makers loose money?


If anything they would make money, people would start buying more games to get more gamerscore. More games sold means more money for the developers and more money for Microsoft.

galaxyblast I had thought about this a while ago, it seems like a good idea, it would make getting gamerscore actually worth something other than showing you have no life.


lol yea i agree, i though that my gamer score was Microsoft points when i first got my Xbox but then i realized it wasn't ;)
