1. Says I won all 5 prizes, I can't complain.

But I think that everyone in level 3 who raises their points by 1500 should be entered into a drawing for the limited prizes...

2. always the optimist, i think this just shows how popular the xbox 360 and achievement points are.

3. If you wanted to help out your readers you would give them a step by step walk through to make it easier for them with direct links to each part and what to do on each page. I wish I had that from day one. This contest was the worst put together mess I have ever taken part in but I figured it out, got my game on and won the level 3 challenge.

Here is a walk through, to the best of my knowledge. Hope it helps.

1) If you are logged into xbox.com, log out!

2) Once logged out click this link: http://xboxrewards.msgamestudios.com/default.aspx?lc=1033

3) Click the Green "Sign In" button.

4) This was the tricky part that got me screwed up many times. Do not sign in here, instead, click the Green "Register Now" button on the bottom left of the page.

5) Now click you can click "Sign In".

6) Fill in your proper information and click "Submit Registration".

7) Now it should say "Registration Successful. Thank you for participating!" Some people thought it was time to get there game on from this point but nope, you need to now join the challenge. The link below is the quickest to join the challenge. Don't click "Return to My Xbox Rewards" from this page.

Direct link to challenge: http://xboxrewards.msgamestudios.com/challengesandrewards/ChallengeDetail.aspx?id=4

Click "Join Challenge" a small box will pop up on the page and accept and you are now ready to get your game on.

8) When you have your 1,500 points in the bag, click the direct link to the challenge link above again and click “I’m Finished” and it should say “Congratulations”

Hope this helps and feel free to share this information with anyone and everyone and maybe even update your post above.

7. I was able to eventually force my way through last night. I signed up for the challenge and completed it this morning.

I ended my challenge and was awarded five prizes (the Tier 3 set). It states that the Marketplace Token prizes will not be available till the end of the contest. I had to confirm my mailing address for the other two prizes. I was not able to do this properly, so I'm not sure if I'll actually receive them. I don't know if the marketting team is planning on nulifying these results.

If you need evidence, here's my Rewards gamercard with the Old Spice Challenge completed

9. Uh... Question. I registered for the challenge but I didnt click the, "Join Challenge!" link until just recently. More specifically, after I earned around 1,000 in Fusion Frenzy 2. Do those points count to the 1,500 or not? I'll be pretty pissed if it didn't...

10. I finally got in, but by the time I get 1500 points every prize but Contra (they have 70,000) will be gone. Maybe I should go rent King Kong and one of the cheesy sports titles and knock the 1500 out quickly

11. Sorry Shadowed they don't count. I got my 1500. Took me all day yesterday. Then found out you have to register for each individual challenge. I joined it and clicked "I'm finished" or whatever it was. Then it said I still needed to gain 1500 more points. :(

12. I signed up for the rewards but every time I go to the O.S. link it shows me the sign-up page with my address info even though it said registration successful! Help!

14. Total and complete waste of time.

15. I finally completed my 1500, I went to the site and it says my Windows Live I.D. is not linked to my gamercard, which is incorrect because I registered and joined the challenge on wensday.

16. What the hell w/ Old Spice? Do guys really wear that crap anymore? I hope this doesn't encourage XBOX users to spray on the Old Spice. Yikes.
