Microsoft Preparing Xbox Live Rewards Program

Posted October 20, 2009 by James Brightman

Microsoft this week sent out invitations for a "pilot rewards program" to select Xbox Live subscribers. At this point it's unclear exactly how Microsoft intends to reward its subscribers, but the e-mail (see below, thanks Kotaku) tells members that by signing up they can get "cool stuff." Perhaps subscribers will be able to win Xbox Live Arcade downloads or receive discounts on retail 360 titles.

Check out the invitation:

"This is an exclusive pilot rewards program. That means that the people who get in get stuff. Cool stuff. You want cool stuff, right? Sure you do, we all want stuff. Especially cool stuff. Well, you've only got until October 21, 2009 to let us know you want cool stuff, because after that, the doors close and someone else gets the cool stuff.

"So, you click the button below and register to let us know you want in and pretty soon we'll let you know if you got in or not - and not everyone will (that's why it's called exclusive).

"This offer is for a select few - you can't send it to anyone else (why would you send something this awesome to someone else, are you nuts?). If you make the cut, you can pass or opt-out whenever you want.

"But then you'll never know how it ended."
