Rise above the rest: Xbox Rewards program announced

  

Who’s the king of the Xbox Live hill, ey? Well, you might have been able to rake in enough Achievements to drown yourself silly in gamerscore glory, but do you get anything more out of it? The rumor about Achievement rewards was reported last week and now, we’ve got confirmation from Microsoft. They’ve teamed up with Old Spice to bring Xbox gamers the first challenge in the Xbox Rewards program.

Participation in the challenges will depend on your current gamerscore. The higher your gamerscore, the higher your level. Now, depending on your level, you’d be eligible for different kinds of rewards.

For the first challenge, you’ll have to register in the Xbox Rewards program (starting Feb 12) and join the Old Spice Experience Challenge. Complete the challenge of increasing your Gamerscore by 1,500 or more before April 12 and here’s what you can get:

• Level 1 (0 – 4,999 annual Gamerscore): Contra XBLA, Level 1 gamer picture, and bump up to Level 2
• Level 2 (5,000 – 9,999 annual Gamerscore): Contra XBLA, Level 2 gamer picture, 100 Microsoft Points, and bump up to Level 3
• Level 3 (over 10,000 annual Gamerscore): Contra XBLA, Level 3 gamer picture, 200 Microsoft Points, Old Spice shirt, and a copy of Fuzion Frenzy 2.

Note that some of the rewards here are only limited in supply and will only be given to the first couple of over-achievers who complete the challenge first. For more details on registry, click the “Read” link below!
