I don't mean to come off like an ungrateful -blam!-, but can you even get anything for that much MS points? I'd expect something silly like a baloon for my avatar, but 20 MS POINTS? L.O.L

For discussion value, discuss what useless -blam!- you've recieved from Xbl Rewards or on your Birthday.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

Here's 2 cents, OP. Try not to get too wild.

You can get things on your Birthday from XBL?

Microsoft does that?

The sublime is disappointingly elusive.

Only twenty Microsoft Points? Man, my birthday is coming up, and I was hoping for a bit more than twenty-five cents worth of Microsoft Points. But hey, what can you expect?

Edit: Just checked my Email. Twenty MS Points. Aw yiss.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

The Snow Leopard's wisdom includes: Understanding one's shadow-side; trusting one's inner-self; agility; strength; the ability to stalk; understanding the power of silence.

Don't spend it all at one place!

I didn't expect anything, I'm not moaning that I didn't get a lot. I'm just saying if a billion dollar company is only willing to give out 20 ms points, then they shouldn't have even bothered. They probably spent more money making the animation of a present opening on the email than the actual gift.

There's things worth LESS than 20 ms points? XD

How lovely.
Is 100 to much to ask for?

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Atleast you have XBL rewards, some countries in Europe don't have Youtube, XBL Indie or XBL Rewards, including Finland, unfortunately for me.

^ Rank? Huh? Idk what you mean. I never use my Xbox anymore and I haven't been on the XBL rewards site in months either

Meh, it's not really worth it unless you upgrade your gold which gives you a bit more MS points (if I remember correctly). Points decay over time, so you'll never be able to buy anything unless you buy, say, 400 ms points, earn 100 for free and then buy something for 500. It's just a way to make you pay more.

Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

I remember that, they made it seem like I might get more so I was anticipating like a theme or something. Then they are like, hey here is 20 points!!

I've been with Xbox Live for a while and they gave me a 100. Yay for $1.20 for being with them for over 5 years!

I have an Xbox and i've had xbox live for like 4 years and this is absolutely ridiculous, almost a slap in the face when you compare it to PSN plus, they give FREE games and not some bull-blam!- game like Bomberman, they give away games like Uncharted 3. I love xbox but PSN plus completely beats the -blam!- out of it.

HAHA the stingy bastards.

Save up for 3 more birthdays and you'll have enough to buy a Santa hat for your avatar.

Wake me, when you need me.

Don't go out and buy one of those loud boombox systems mister.

Nope, I won't. They decay and you lose them after a while.
