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.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
