Do you love playing games on your Xbox 360 day-in-and-day-out? Do you enjoy using Netflix to watch a few of your favorite and not-so favorite movies? Or do you simply enjoy using Xbox Live as a Silver member just because your income isn't satisfying you? If so, then Microsoft has quite a deal for you with a program that's made to reward Xbox Live users with some fresh Microsoft Points. Major Nelson broke the news today that Microsoft will implement a Xbox Live Rewards program.
The announcement comes hot off the heels of Sony announcing a similar program aptly titled, PlayStation Rewards. This new program from Microsoft will be free to all Gold level Xbox Live members, but Silver level members aren't necessarily left in the shadows. The chart above details what an Xbox Live user can do to earn Microsoft Points, including a few options for Silver members. Some of these actions include taking quick surveys and renewing one's Xbox Live account, which can net a Gold member upwards to 200 Microsoft points. Although, Major Nelson did note that one can earn rewards by "watching movies and sports, playing games and more." If that's the case, then I'm sure Microsoft won't mind all of us at Gameshoe playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 24/7 to ensure we never have to spend a dime on an Xbox Live Arcade title.
