NXE sweepstakes: Microsoft giving away over 500,000 MS Points

Kicking off the New Xbox Experience dashboard update next week is a contest from Microsoft. If you're lucky, you just might take home that grand prize of 500,000 MS Points. Damn! That's... *calculates* ...a LOT! Even if I won all that, I wouldn't know what to do with it! Other winners of the sweepstakes get quite a doozy too.
