So they are claiming a big change that will make you change the way you look at achievments is coming. We know MS are trying so hard to change their fortunes in their battle against Sony. What's the biggest thing they could come up with in this aspect to help them? 

To me it would be to allow XBL Gold members to receive free XBL credit for their Achievments. So say they complete all Achievments for a game they earn $1 of XBL credit. Something like that. If Sony had the equivelent, In my career on PSN I would have earn $58 over almost 10 years which isn't a lot but would definitely change the way you look at trophies as they say. You'd probably be more likely to push youself by playing the game longer until you get 100%. That's my idea anyway. 

Do you think this is what MS have up their sleeve or do you think something else? 

If you had used Microsoft rewards for 10 years (not more than 5 minutes a day) you would've received at least $550 worth of points to redeem stuff like Xbox gift cards and Gold subscriptions.
$1 for completing a game is nothing.

This...

Or actually MS products in general... betweenn rewards.. gold level discounts and cashback... gwg etc... I have pretty much never payed gold and therefore never payed for any of those over 100 GwG... never seen PS deliverying anything remotely close to that level of customer fidelity reward ever in 4 generations.... PS is just the gaming version of mcdonaldisation... glad of where XBox is at and don't want it to remotely look like a PS... as long as it stays viable as it is right now I'm good with that...
