    Default Those achievement points may be useful, after all.

    MS may introduce an achievement rewards program.

    Sounds interesting. Hopefully there will be cool collectable schwag.

    That would be nice, But I imagine it'd just be some microsoft points, A gamer pic, A background theme or a faceplate. Or maybe you could get a "Virtual trophy" For getting every achievement for a game. Oh, the possibilities..

    You do realize that the only things available will be crap like "Free 20 oz. Mountain Dew Code Red with Bam Margera Gamerpic!!111!!!", "Free Jay-Z ring tonz!!11!", and various other worthless things marketed to 14-22 yr olds. Think "Xbox Live Diamond Exclusives" only shittier.

    It'd be nice if it was set up like those old magazine subscription deals, so you could get a telescope or a Huffy bike or something else cool like that. But they can't afford to give stuff out unless it is of the virtual variety. They aren't really getting anything out of it...you could rent games or pay one of those jackasses to get the achievements for you, so you're not giving MS your money by buying games at retail.
    RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.

    It would be nice to cash in achievement point for MS points to get free xbox live games or anything else you can buy with the MS points.

    If anything I hope it's MS points. They already gave out gamerpics in Gears.
