Not quite 10,000...
Almost 8,000 points, not too shabby. Now my intrest has increased about 100 times after hearing about Microsoft's prizes they give out [Contra, T-Shirts, MS Points, Fusion Frenzy 2, etc.]. Excellent move by Microsoft in my opinion. Now people are buying games they would of never of bought, like Madden 06 for the easy 1,000 points. People like me, however, will just rent games from their service provider. Might I recommend Open Season for those Achievement cravers out there. It's an enjoyable experience, and the points are insanely easy as well.
Now that Microsoft has done this, what else will follow? More contest? I sure hope so.
