Rewards for Achievements program has been announced!

Rewards for achievements has now officially been announced. The program is going to start off in the US only and I am not sure if it is going to spread. Old Spice is the first sponsor for the program. To register for the program, you have to visit www.xbox.com/rewards on February 12th to sign up. Here is a list of the rewards that will be given for the launch of the program:

Reward Package Qualifications

Level 1 (Gamers with a 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

Hmm now I am a little confused, do I get a reward right when the program launches? Or does this program start to track my annual gamerscore over the year and see how many points I rack up? I hope that we will see as time goes on. It says at time of entry so I might be getting some rewards along with everyone that has 0-4,999 Gamerscore. Sounds interesting. Again be sure to register for the program on February 12th at www.xbox.com/rewards.
