heh heh that pic with the kid was hilarious. i was being jocular when asking why not Marlboro, but then again i am a smoker and maintain a strict five-stick per day habit.

durex would be nice tho as well.

thanks for posting the press release spartan it made things a lot clearer...i now see that you don't get the prizes automatically upon registering, but rather placed in those levels with each one leadingto POSSIBLE prizes should you accept the challenges.

hey why not?

ohh too bad! I just learned new info about the HDMI solution for the Xbox 360, but since you don't want to know anything about it I'll just let it go... :devil: ;)

Which is what exactly? Why not post details of your own findings instead of doing what you always do, which is simply to post links to MS info already on the web...

Guys. Excuse the bit of language, but they're giving away free sh** for doing something you normally don't get anything but enjoyment out of (just playing the games). You should be happy they are doing this at all.

So the prizes aren't much to you? So don't care about it then. Just go along playing the games for yourself like you always have in the past and let the people who do care get the stuff. And sure, there are people that let others get their points for them, but you've already stated that the awards aren't worth it, so I don't see the big deal.

MS finally gives free rewards out for your gamerscores and you people go ballastic and bitch that its not worth it. Seriously, get over yourselves.

I cannot reveal my source as it goes way, way deep, but earlier today I was passed along an exclusive first look at one of the free gamer Pics that are being given away for spending all of those hard earned hours...

The Limited Edition Old Spice Hairy Arm Pit Gamer Picture.

If I have time, oops I mean if my source comes through with some more exclusives, I will be sure to get my hands on that Old Spice Theme as well. :rofl: ;)

Yeah right

MS doesnt care about the rest of the world!

Is this crap US only too? MS is f**king me off now! Since I got my 360 at XMAS around 3 or 4 competitions and freebies have been US/Canada only.. I may get a PS3 instead :(.

Considering the fact that the PS3 isn't even available in the UK yet, what exactly are you expecting from Sony over Microsoft? :rolleyes: :p

ahhell, i think you misunderstood. your current points put you in a level upon registration, and then you gotta earn 1500 over what you had at registration to qualify for the prizes.

it is rather unseemly that MS is constantly shunning most gamers by limiting these events/promos to the US only.

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
