Microsoft Offers Xbox Live Discounts For Achievement Score

I saw this while browsing Game Informer. Thought it was pretty cool and gives me an incentive to buy digital content over XBL.

2% is pretty paltry.

I think the better deal is still Microsoft's Bing Rewards program.

The points accrue much faster through that system by simply doing Bing searches. I've probably gotten about $75 back in free rewards over the last couple of months just from doing daily searches.

I need to give them $50 a year to get 2-10 cents a month? Holy **** what an amazing deal!!!!! I'm all over that! 2 cents fellas! TWO CENTS!
