The whole "points" economy is terribly predatory. Microsoft is so predatory in general I am surprised people still give them money.

I give credit to Microsoft on this one. All Microsoft points cost them is some use on their download servers. Plus this will keep some people on Xbox and off PS3 or PC. And if you think about the people to put that much time in... Well you can see where I'm going with this.

I think I've only ever played 2-3 games for that many hours. CS:S, CS 1.6 and maybe MW2...

-edit- maybe runescape as well when I was younger.

I wished more games would do this. Give us a little back for playing our games. It isn't suppose to be a paycheck for a gaming career. The idea here is that the game is played out of enjoyment and not for profit and that enjoyment is made even sweeter with a small point donation towards your next game/update.

OH HOW GENEROUS!

Is there ever any time when they do promotions that they aren't totally bad and stupid?

But still 140 hours is a lot of time to get to the top. Hell I'd probably go for it if I could get this game.
edit: even though you cant do much with the less rewards anyway, unless you have leftover points. If you can even get anything for just 600.

Thank you, at least somebody actually read the thing. Apparently gaming is about making money now? Seriously petty to attack a game/studio/company for something like this. It's just advertising + community involvement, what's the big deal?

[Examiner] Microsoft is paying you to play Halo 4 multiplayer

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Metro 2033 is one of the greatest FPS games ever made. Although not usually recognized as such, due to the horrible state the gaming industry is in, it succeeds largely on its storytelling,...

This is an update of the original Fractal Design Arc Midi. The solid left panel has been replaced by a panel with a plexiglass window and the top USB ports are now USB-3.0. Let me state at the...

I've used this headset extensively for MAG on PS3. The sounds were wonderful, the mic was crisp, and the ability to adjust peoples voice volume is absolutely invaluable. For $100 ( or less ) this...

The Pros The reason this card is one of the better non-Tahiti 7870s is because of Gigabyte's custom PCB. Gigabyte took the 7870 and replaced it's memory chips with Hynix memory so they perform a...
