Xbox Takes Gamerscore to New Heights in the U.S.
www.DIPstickMag.com
Since launching in November 2005, Achievements and gamerscore have taken
the gaming world by surprise. The "Achievement Unlocked" alert makes not
firing once in the first 60-seconds of "Geometry Wars Retro Evolved"
appear perfectly normal. Looking for hours on end for the 50th survivor
in "Dead Rising" - just another day's work. In fact, since the Xbox 360
launched, more than 200 Million Achievements have been unlocked.
Achievements and gamerscore allow gamers to compare success, attempt
unique in-game challenges and find value in playing games over and over.
The reward for Achievements is an exciting and challenging way to play
games, and only Xbox 360 offers it.
Since Xbox 360 gamers love to be rewarded, we are happy to announce the
Old Spice Experience Challenge......
Xbox 360 is teaming up with Old Spice to bring the first Rewards
Challenge to Xbox Live. Gamers will be charged with increasing their
gamerscore by 1,500 between February 12 and April 12, 2007. That's 60
days to bring your overall gamerscore up by 1,500 for the chance to earn
a bounty of rewards. In order to participate, you need to have a valid
resident of the 50 United States and District of Columbia (expect future
challenges to be global in scope) and at least thirteen years-old.
Reward Package Qualifications
* Level 1 (Gamers who have a gamerscore between 0-4,999 at time of
entry): Game Picture, Dashboard theme, Contra for Xbox LIVE Arcade
* Level 2 (5,000-9,999 gamerscore at time of entry): Level 1 Package,
100 Microsoft Points and a contest T-shirt
* Level 3 (10,000+ gamerscore at time of entry): Level 1 Package, 200
Microsoft Points, contest T-shirt and Fusion Frenzy 2
* In addition, Old Spice will give Level 1 and 2 the gift of experience
by upgrading their Rewards Level for 2007.
Think you can do it? With more than $500,000 in total rewards, such as
Microsoft Points and Xbox 360 games, it is time to tackle those unbeaten
games and start unlocking Achievements, because this Spring the rewards
go beyond just having an impressive gamerscore.
Be sure to log on to www.xbox.com/rewards on February 12 to sign up for
participation. Reward quantities are limited so gamers who reach the set
goal will be awarded on a first come, first served basis only.
