    Your mileage may vary as the rewards system output is different in each country. The UK/US seems to get a lot of rewards challenges but I remember when I was living in Sydney and this was just getting started that the offerings were fairly limited. Probably about half the UK rewards, but it's still free credit for the store at the end of the day.

      Halo TV show looking, ok. Will have to wait to see it I guess, visually its on the mark at least.

        If you use a VPN you can also claim points from other countries that offer rewards points

          Yep, I have myself logged in to Edge browser at work so the points build during normal day to day internet searching so its seconds to clear the daily objectives and remaining points. The three phone apps take seconds too, the biggest time hurdles are:

          -Playing an online PC game: It doesn't ping straight away so really you're looking at a full match of something like Halo Infinite
          -Jewelled: You only need to complete one level so it's incredibly easy but still longer than other objectives
          -Daily Achievement: Easy if you're playing something at the time but because you need an achievement per day you find yourself rationing achievements and game progress so as not to waste any for the next day. I'm currently farming Killer Instinct for this
          -Game Pass App: Essentially the weekly, monthly or game specific ones


          I'm in a rush today because in an ironic twist at the weekend my PC started to crash on me. I have a loose idea of what the issue is but it's not one I can fix without cost and work as the system just isn't accepting the fix normally used, it shunted me to just try and ride the chip shortage wave and order a new PC build which arrived yesterday. I've not set it up yet as I've had to transfer all my data on the old one to an external drive to transfer over but tonight it means I'm in a race to get the new one set up, powered up and downloading... Halo Infinite to get 300 reward points!

            I think with the PC game you only have to load the game and then exit immediately?

            I just load something small like spelunky and quit it when the menu loads up.

              Hmm, mine usually pings around 6 minutes into a 10 minute match. Worth it though, weirdly generous reward objective

                Reports from insiders saying there are chunks of management leaving the Perfect Dark development studio.
                Im pretty sure something similar happened at 343.
                Bit of a trend for MS if it's true.

                  From the sounds of the VGC article it sounds like Neuberger and Co at the helm were very top down and the opposite of what they were actually promoting. Find it very interesting that Xbox were reportedly fine with the lack of progress but it seems the whole thing has now shifted to more involvement from Crystal Dynamics.

                  If that's true MS isn't really at fault for letting them have space to figure things out but maybe they should have stepped in earlier to steady the ship?

                  There's a fair deficit in the industry right now with the sheer level of expansion and the current climate. So I'm not surprised if people have left when they can just walk into other roles pretty easily.

                  I guess creative freedom isn't always a perfect scenario and starting from scratch you want to foster the right level of guidance without stifling creativity.

                          I actually kinda like the console itself but those controllers, sheesh...

                            Lol, those controllers look like a crazy idea after a night out on the p!ss
                            But yeah, the console looks kind of cool with that gold ring.

                            Err, just imagine what those controllers would look like after some sweaty gamer had been using them for a week, yuck!

                              anyone know if it will activate and credit the points if I buy on the Brazil store? Never done this before
                              no biggie if it doesn’t

                              thanks

                                Normaly its just get an achievment in that game to get the points so in theory if your playing it on your UK account and pop an achievement it will track it if you've activated the punchcard, be interested to know if it dose.
