Details of Xbox LIVE Rewards Program(s) Revealed

Microsoft has recently been recruiting people through e-mail to participate in a new rewards program for Xbox 360 gamers, and today, the first details of the experiment have been uncovered. The rewards program is currently being tested with three tiers as players are invited to join groups designated as Gray, Green, or Orange, with the prizes being Microsoft Points. GameSpy points out that "the vague language used in the program description seems to allude to Microsoft placing restrictions on what you can buy with your points: '...every month, The Rewards Squad will send you an email with an update on the points you've earned and the cool stuff you can get.'"
