One Million Microsoft Points Up For Grabs
Do I have your attention? Good. With the release of NXE next week, Microsoft is also rolling out a bit of a contest for loyal users of Xbox Live. Dubbed "Game With Fame" the contest awards those who download movies, games, DLC, pretty much anything that costs money, with the chance to wins some mega points. Grand prize happens to be 500,000 points. That's enough to buy enough gamer pics to wallpaper your actual bedroom. Just don't spend that many points trying to win the contest because that would just be counterproductive. The full set of prizes are as follows:
- One Grand Prize of 500,000 MS Points
- Five 1st Prizes of 50,000 MS Points
- Ten 2nd Prizes of 10,000 MS Points
- Thirty 3rd Prizes of 5,000 MS Points
Not too shabby. If that wasn't enough, starting November 20th, gamers will also have a chance to play against some "celebrities" and show them just how enlightening chatter during matches can be. Among the celebs are The All-American Rejects who I will proudly admit are one of my favorite bands. I better get onto Xbox Live now to make sure I'm first in line to play against them. See ya!

Where are the celebrities? None on that list.
Just because I bothered to do the math, that's $6250 American in Microsoft Fun Bucks. First on my list would be all the DLC for the RB/GH franchises.
Tenacious D! Hells ya! Too bad I don't have Rock Band 2! *cries*
