What are your thoughts on this? $40 in one month is quite a lot to spend. Although there are some decent titles coming next month. Tell us what you think in the comments. Don't be a Jimmy!

These mofos never gave me my points for Halo 4. I don't believe in this shit.

After all the years and money I've dropped on this console they should give me the last year of releases for free. I mean they know people are just waiting for PS4 and Nextbox.

I agree, the reward system is awful and honestly a slap in the face to the hardcore gamers.

Who gives a shit about avatar items?

I still don't understand how the rewards work. I get an email telling me they put 0 points in my account this month, but I was awarded 100 and have 50 pending. WTF does that even mean? Just give me the fucking points... it's only a $1.50. Then they have the nerve to send me 20MSP for my birthday. A whole quarter? Wow, in 3 more years I'll be able to afford a T-shirt for my avatar!

I dont think even Microshaft has figured it out honestly. Its a pie brained Idea to start with and the implementation was garbage.

@ BatRastered

They will only give you points if it's a 100 or more. So you will be forever at 50 points pending until you do something to raise that number. I was at 90 points pending for 6 months. One day I got 20 points for doing something and bam they sent me 100 points with 10 points pending. It's stupid.

Oh and the birthday "Gift" is straight garbage. If anyone gave me $0.25 for my Birthday I would smack the shit out of them.

I gotta get my quarter ready. Spoiler its gonna be in pennies.

@ sicoyoda

I will slap you so hard if you dropped 25 pennies at my feet in a few weeks.

Good to know I'll chuck em at your head LoL

@Cinderkin I know how the pending works, what I don't get is the last number. Here's my most recent statement...

MICROSOFT POINTS DEPOSITED IN FEBRUARY 0 -- Why does MS need to taunt me?
Total Microsoft Points Pending: 50 -- get to 100 and then deposit
Total Microsoft Points Earned to Date: 1090 -- OK
Total Bonus Microsoft Points Awarded: 100 -- WTF IS THIS?
