Last week there were rumors that Microsoft was starting an incentive program that would reward gamers with physical merchandise for their Xbox 360 Achievements. Today Microsoft confirmed this program and disclosed the spicy details.
Dubbed the Experience Challenge, players that increase their gamerscore by 1,500 between February 12 and April 12, 2007, will receive a chance to win some Xbox Live bounty. The rewards will be divided into three levels:
Level 1 (Gamers who have an annual gamerscore between 0-4,999 at time of entry): Game Picture, Dashboard theme, Contra for Xbox LIVE Arcade
Level 2 (5,000-9,999 annual gamerscore): Level 1 Package, 100 Microsoft Points and a contest T-shirt
Level 3 (10,000+ annual gamerscore): Level 1 Package, 200 Microsoft Points, contest T-shirt and Fusion Frenzy 2
Those who achieve levels one or two will have their Rewards Level upgraded for 2007.

This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
that's pretty cool for sure
There is no contest in Canada. I don't like that. I think they should do it across North America at least.
Fellow Canadians lets all join together and have out own contest and not invite the others.
they said that they are working on a global challenge. It will come, just wait.
this is definitely pretty sweet. But im waiting until it the 12th to make my final decision on how cool it is. It says on www.xbox.com that the games that you play to get the points are preselected so it most likely will be really hard to get the 1500 points
