Xbox Live Rewards introduces monthly Play to Earn incentives

4.6
Starting this month, the Xbox Live Rewards program is getting a little more active with Play to Earn incentives. As the name implies, Play to Earn allows Xbox Live Rewards members to earn extra rewards by purchasing and playing games. The month of April is dedicated to Xbox Live Arcade, and several rewards are up for grabs. As you might expect, the best ones require you to pony up a little dough.

Playing 20 hours of XBLA games this month will net Rewards members a free Avatar item, while purchasing four XBLA games costing at least 400 MS Points each will earn a free month of Xbox Live Gold. Finally, members who spend 3200 MS Points on XBLA games will receive 800 MS Points back.

That applies to any XBLA games, though Major Nelson conveniently notes that there are quite a few games coming out this month, including Battleblock Theater, Terraria, Monaco, Double Dragon 2, God Mode, Sacred Citadel and Motocross Madness.

I would rather buy the microsoft points then spend more on some games which I will never play

When you think about it. This is pretty cool because it's not like any sensible person would pay at least 1200 MS points for a free month.
BUT if you buy 4 games you want like, Minecraft, Terraria, Trials, and another. You get a free month for buying games that you would've bought anyway.
And the 3200 is for more expensive games.

XKSR95 So basically "pay more, earn less" is what they're really trying to say.

-LOST- Seems like they're doing this a bit late. a new console is going to be coming out. Then again, that's prob why they're doing this in the first place.


I imagine they will integrate this into the new console as well.

This sounds pretty cool. I'm glad Microsoft is doing something like this for their loyal members. Respect to them.

I won't buy four games just to get a free month or 800 msp, if I really need points or gold It's better to buy what you really need

Codec Well I think that this is an okay idea 40$ for 10$ of Microsoft points isn't bad


They're basically giving you a discount if you think about it.
