I think you have to have 75,000 gamerscore. I heard they are also randomly giving away some XB1 consoles with several games to these people as well.

Unsubstantiated rumors.

What I think is more interesting is that the email says "you're a fan". It could have something to do with a social media applet rather than a score or giveaway.

What a stupid qualifying tool, not only does it reward people who rented games in mass instead of supporting the 360, but for people who did buy lots of games and support 360 but didn't care about achievements it is a kick in the groin.

People who rent or buy used can support MS as well. For example, being a Gold member and digital purchases.

Why don't you ever complain about PS+ being a kick in the groin to people that buy the same games offered "free"?

Someone on another gaming site I visit said they have 247,000 score and received the same email except stating they will be getting the console and Forza.  No way of knowing if that is true though.  I found this via google too:

Lucky Skunk! Congratulations!

I hope this doesn't mean you will be called names now as some kind of MS pet. /s



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Oh cmon... can you be this dense?

Heres the story they arent telling you:

1. All characters unlocked are actually just the 2 that are available at launch. Or...
2. You have all characters unlocked for a limited ammount of time. After that you need to pay fot them.

It will be the day when Microsoft offers you something for free.


So....f'n true.

Lol they are giving away free consoles in emails also. Foot meet mouth

My activity might have something to do with it. I have a gamerscore over 86K. Maybe it was due to over 20 fighting games being in my Xbox activity.

Surely my Gold membership was a pre-requisite.

You're probably right with the score statement...
