That sucks, it says I never signed up, even though I did when it started, once they fixed it that is. This sucks, I was getting close to 1500 points, now it says I still need 1500 points because, apparently I wasn't signed up. That sucks.

Nice. I love the idea of the rewards program- too bad I already bought Contra. I'd have preferred a coupon for 400 points or 1 free low-tier live title, but free is free.

I'm anxious to see what the next challenges are. Wonder if they'll do something like a game-based challenge for 1 title (Mass Effect or something). They could also do a "get 50 points worth of achievements in 3 separate titles" thing. Either way, I'm ready for the next challenge!

This makes the March 'meh' award for me...I stopped caring about the Deodorant Awards Program weeks back when my console bricked up. now that I have it back, I realize I wouldn't wear an Old Spice t-shirt anyway or whatever it was.

Level 3 physical prize is Fuzion Frenzy 2. Atleast that's what they sent me.

A) Thanks for the note about clicking "I'm Finished" to check your score. I didn't know it would do that, I was affraid to click it.

I got my free Contra, but unlocking it was a pain. I went to the XBLM and clicked to 'add MSPoints' and added the code there, but it failed.

What I had to do was go to download the full version of contra, THEN, when it asked me how I wanted to pay, I entered the code. THAT unlocked Contra, and now I'm enjoying some good ol' arcade freshness.

Unfortunately, I still don't know how to unlock the Old Spice gamerpic that I supposedly earned. Anyone?

this REALLY SUCKS that it doesn't include canada. here's to hoping xbox canada gets their ass in gear and does something in appreciation for us canadians too.

i mean...what an awesome program...(plus im almost above 10000...so if i can get the less than 500 points i need left to get 10000 before registering for the potential canadian contest...i'd be in the highest category!

I got Contra and that cheesy Old Spice pic. I was at level three to start, and I've up my points over 2300 since it started.

FF2 was a good score, I'd Ebay it!! LOL

Aha, good thing I did a round check on joystiq otherwise I would've just waited until april 22nd and probably missed out on contra, my 100 points, and the useless picture they gave me.

Personally, I feel they marketed this badly. I'm less than 200 points away from 1500 with a little less than a month to get it. I was pumped that I could get a free game just for playing games. Cool! Too bad I missed the fine print that says things are limited.

They marketed this as "Get 1500 before April 22, and be rewarded!" not "Be one of the first to hit 1500 and get rewarded"

I dont care about an old spice gamer pic... I've got contra. Basically, its worthless for anyone who isnt "hardcore" and goes balls out to be one of the first.

The marketplace prizes have been available for about two weeks now.

The physical prizes are still up in the air. Last response I've gotten said those aren't being sent till end of April.

I guess everyone who thought they'd trade-in Fuzion Frenzy will be lucky to get $6.

I got my Old Spice gamer pic, it's pretty sweet. Obviously people can tell you're wearing Old Spice in person, but now I have a way to let other XBox Live users know that I smell like a combination of sweaty horse and rope.

@ #1, as I remember it, you had to sign up for the rewards program itself, and then do an additional sign-up for the Old Spice Challenge itself.

Yeah, I got my rewards over a week ago. Contra, gamerpoints, and the level 3 gamerpic. Still waiting until next month to see if I won Fuzion Frenzy.

It had a very rough start, but I really like the Rewards Program now that I have the rewards!

Xbox should really consider bringing this to Canada...

I'm apparently in the same boat as #1... I just checked and it said I wasn't enrolled yet. I signed up and enrolled, and even got some type of e-mail confirming I was...

Oh well, at least I hadn't gotten around to renting TMNT yet...

I completed level 1 and I'm not sure how to progress to level 2 (or 3)... I have no outstanding challenges it says...

"Gamer needs 2690 Gamerscore to reach the next Level"

So if I hit that score, I'll get more bonuses? I dont get it.

Nu, you should have just gone to Xbox Live Marketplace and at the bottom it says "Redeem Code". That's how I got Contra and the Level 1 gamerpic.

Also, you can just look at the "My Rewards" homepage to see how many points you have left. You do not have to click "I'm finished."

oh man, I wish they had this in New Zealand too... even if they just gave us XBLA games or MS points, that'd be awesome. I only recently got a 360, but I love all the stuff like achievement points and whatnot... and it'd save me having to pay for contra haha

The rewards sucked. I finished and did it fairly quickly and all I got was a horrible arcade game and the worst gamer pic ever created. I mean I understand not sending out tens of thousands of copies of Fusion Frenzy 2...but come on MS couldn't print out a few extra T-shirts to give away to Level 3 people or any level for that matter. That to me is truly stupid on their part since you figure to achieve 1500 points your spending around $90. Either way at least they are implementing the gamerscore for more than just bragging rights and hopefully their rewards program goes somewhere better than this.
