If your digital gamercard just isn't enough, Microsoft is offering the Xbox Live Diamond card personalized with your own gamertag. The card will be good for discounts and promotions at "your favorite stores, restaurants, and other retailers across the country." The participants so far include SamGoody, Carls Jr., Quiznos Sub, Cambridge Soundworks, Etnies, and Hollywood Video. How much will all of this cost you dear gamer? Nothing! The catch? You need to have already pre-paid or subscribed for at least 12 months on either the original Xbox or Xbox 360. And one more thing: non-US gamers need not apply (sorry Jennie!). No go get your card emblazoned with xxXk1773rc70wNXxx to show everyone!

Not a credit card, but a nice way to link your gaming habits with other purchases. Marketing goodness.

Of note.
The VERY LAST question asked:
"Would you ever play a simulaton game (like The Sims 2, Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc.) on a Game Console?"
Seems that Microsoft may be considering opening up the genre on the XBox. I find this more interesting than getting a free sandwitch!
