Microsoft (cutting it rather close to their December 21st deadline) just sent out the promised LIVE is 5IVE 500 Microsoft point gift to Xbox Live subscribers who've been subscribed since 2002. If you registered for your gift last month and are a legit member of the Xbox Live class of 2002 then check your inbox, because your 500 Microsoft point code should be there. And as an added bonus, Microsoft also threw in a special "Founding Member" LIVE is 5IVE gamer picture download code as well. Spend your 500 Microsoft points wisely, sport your new gamer picture with pride and take comfort in knowing that your five year, $250 total subscription hasn't gone un-noticed.[Thanks, xenocidic]

I just registered today, so I hope I get the points and the pic.
My gamer tag is 'dead', so I don't know how you get older than that? Four letters. No numbers.

Or maybe it *has* gone unnoticed. I registered a month ago, and I'm still very pointless.
No, wait, that's not what I meant... I mean, no present for me. :(

Eh, I'm not elligble even though I've had an account since the first day live launched.
My original account was banned by Bungie after Halo 2 came out because I was apparently accused of "cheating." No idea what I did but I'd imagine I just made a few to many enemies because of my 1337 gaming skillz. (haha not really but I can't imagine what other reasons there were)
Can't imagine what I did to be punished with a ban, but I did get a new account the next day... I just never played Halo 2 again since Bungie apparently had some grudge against me. Funny thing is that after I was banned my gamertag was picked up by someone in the bungie community sometime after (perhaps a dev wanted my tag?).

i was an xbox live beta tester way back in the day -- got to pick out my gamertag before the doors were even open to the public and everything.

until i got the points email yesterday i thought they'd forgotten about me!
i'm usually one to hate on microsoft (for windows, office, zune, etc.) but, man, did they get the xbox/xbox 360/xbox live thing right! it's been the best since the beginning, and it's still rockin' my socks on a regular basis!

I always use mattclarkie for everything, it was a name that stuck to me when I started secondary school, and I like it. It isn't popular so I can always get it for emails and my gamertag.

@adam: sorry to disappoint you with my choice of moniker; you may not like it, but it's the perfect one for me. what's your gamertag? and what devastatingly cool gamertag would you choose, if you had your pick?
