Forums - Microsoft - If Japan Plays 1 Million Hours On Xbox 360, Microsoft Will Give Free Microsoft Points

I'll be doing my part with Caladrius and Dodonpachi :)



Around the Network

Time to AFK on Monster Hunter Frontier as I usually do.

When I think about it, this shouldn't be hard at all. There are at least around 50k active 360 owners in Japan if sales numbers of recent games are anything to go by. Each of them would only need to play 20 hours (average) in two months (!) to reach the goal

Ah shit... Some reason last night I read it like it was supposed to be for individual users total playtime (which would be near impossible).  Makes more sense now that it includes everyone.  I was like how the hell can someone spend a million hours playing only 20 video games.



MS really needs to start working on their image in the far east. They portray themselves exactly how the Japanese see them: Corporate, Misinformed, and Out of Touch.
This offer demonstrates exactly that, filled with games the Japanese crowd doesn't play (no ace combat??), way way way too late in the generation, and all in return for a paltry sum that costs MS literally nothing.
Like, 400 points? Is that a joke?

 

EDIT: Oh wait, I see it now.... pathetic attempt to sell Live subscriptions. Wow.
