Unlocking Xbox Achievements may soon get you free MSP

4.5
If you are what's commonly referred to as an "Achievements Whore", you may soon have a real incentive to rake in those Xbox Gamerscore points besides feeling good about yourself on Xbox forums.

Microsoft has teased that it will soon be offering new 'rewards' based on the unlocking of Achievements in Xbox 360 games.
The announcement came from the official Twitter feed of the Xbox Live Rewards website, which teased, "Coming Fall: a new way to earn Rewards based on your Achievements!"

Further prying for details was dismissed by the MS rep, but those familiar with the Xbox Live Rewards site will know that it's a loyalty program that offers free Microsoft Points as rewards for completing specific and varying tasks.

That considered, we expect some Achievement-related MS Point rewards coming this Autumn. And that sounds pretty good to us.

PushTorque I have nearly 46K Gamerscore on my account I've had for nearly 4 years.
I really hope you didn't just get my hopes up.
As much as I love Achievement Whoring, I realize it's a complete waste of time.
This would make so much of my time more worthwhile.


even if they do make this you wont get any points off that. i have a feeling its going to be for games that come out after this feature

Obviously modding your gamerscore wouldn't affect this but they might start cracking down on people who gamesave since those achievements technically unlock legit.

It's a shame they haven't done this sooner. When I got my xbox back in '09 I thought they did this then, but it's nice too how they are improving.
