Not everyone is crazy about Xbox 360 achievements, but those of us who get a little giddy when they hear that boop-beep sound could actually cash in on them this fall. An official tweet from the Xbox Live Rewards account says players will have a new way to earn rewards in a few months, related to achievements.
The tweet is more of a tease than an announcement, in spite of what they might say. "We've hit 50,000 followers, which means it's time for an announcement! Coming Fall: a new way to earn Rewards based on your Achievements!"
The Xbox Live Rewards program lets players earn prizes, including Microsoft points, for doing things such as searching on Bing, filling out surveys, and performing certain tasks on Xbox Live. And now it looks like you'll be rewarded for actually playing games. Maybe.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. We'll have to wait and see if it'll be a sponsored, limited-time-only offer, or a long-term part of the program. One thing's for certain: It sounds more interesting and appealing than searching for stuff on Bing.

Of all the stories floating around the internet today, this one is tailor made for us. From this Autumn, the Xbox Live Rewards program will offer up Microsoft Points based on your Achievements.
Yup, you read that right. While details of exactly how this will work have yet to be announced, the news comes direct from the Xbox Live Rewards Twitter account. "Coming Fall: a new way to earn Rewards based on your Achievements!,” said the tweet. Nice, eh?
Xbox Live Rewards is a service that offers up MSP in return for carrying out various tasks, like filling in questionnaires and renewing XBL subscriptions. However, it has never rewarded users for their Achievements before. You can find out more about Xbox Live Rewards here.
We will, of course, bring more details once they are officially announced. yeah right i bet its like 10 mp per full game complete

Very interesting. It's too bad I can't enter the Reward program. They say it's not available in this country, otherwise I'd have signed up months ago.

We get it here, though all we can do is fill out the monthly survey and renew account, (Whoop-dee-fucking-doo :p) oh well about 500 points earned now so I can't complain to much:)
