It's really a cool idea but they need to step up the rewards quite a bit. I also don't think that they are being altruistic in doing this. MS knows how to get that dough and I'm sure the eggheads are happy about this one lol.

I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Smart move by microsoft because it makes multiplatform games stand out more over the competition

True, but since you need a Gold account to activate the rewards, this is not focused on the gamers you say, because very few of them will pay to be Gold members.

OT. I'm not Gold as I don't play online so this is 'meh' to me. Besides if the Birthday gift is 15p, it will be a hat or something like that for your avatar.

The average customer is not that smart. The average customer will see ads about getting something for free when they jump in on Gold while it's on sale. So they will do and happily customize their avatar with a free birthday gift.

So if I get 25k GS and buy a 1200 point game I get 24 points back? Why should I even care?

Because if you buy a lot of games on Live, it adds up no matter how minute the numbers are.

Also, maybe it's just me and psn but the amount of times I've seen a game on the store for say 1.99 but only had 1.75 on my account or something like that...it's very annoying.

PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.
