Xbox Rewards

Just wanted to drop a note and say hey. Your gamer name grabbed my attention. I married what I call an ag chick. Her degree is in ag business. Most of her friends are in the agriculture business and they all think I am crazy for gaming. They go on and on about how they don't have time for such things. Good to see a farmer with time for the good stuff. The funny thing is the one who gripes the most about not having any time is the biggest loafer I have ever met. Reads books all the time and has time to play golf 3-4 times a week. He's just covered up. lol I also agree with what you said about the younger crowd in Halo 2. Just about made me give up on online gaming. Finally found a few guys that are laid back like myself to play Gears with and it has made all the difference in the world.

Argh! MS sometimes does things that really suck. Losing your signup to the challenge is a big one. Thanks for the heads up, guess everybody should check if they thought they signed up.

THe process was complicated this time because you had to sign up for two things. The first thing is to register yourself into the rewards program. Then the 2nd step is to register for a rewards challenge. That's what threw people for a loop, they assumed when they registered for the rewards program they were also entered into the rewards challenge. TO be honest though dude, if you only racked up 200 points over a weekend, there's not going to be much in the way of prizes left by the time you get 1500. You'll end up with a gamerpic out of it and self fulfillment. Problem with this first challenge is prizes are limited to 2500. contra is the prize with the most, 70,000 or something so there's a chance you could get that but probably not if it takes you 2 full months . You need to play some quick booster titles like King Kong, Cars, open Season, 06 sports games to name a few options. Good luck.
