Logistically, getting 1,500 points between February 12 and April 12 doesn't sound tough. Despite being lumped in a competitive segment of points accumulators, I doubt FF2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and Crackdown could possibly withhold 1,500 points from me within the space of three days. I'm pretty sure most other players will be racking up 1,500 points within hours.

Who knows what logo will be emblazoned on the T-shirts? Old Spice was my grandfather's coologne/aftershave/allergy-inducing fragrance. I am not excited by the prospect of sporting Old Spice and Microsoft logos together on one black, or mint-green shirt. Besides the shirts, the other prizes are not terribly compelling either:
* A special gamer picture - uh huh.
* Xbox 360 dashboard theme - Rare Theme? got it.
* XBL Arcade game Contra - Already harvested all 200.
* 200 Microsoft Points (worth $2.50) - Not too bad.
* A copy of Fuzion Frenzy 2 - and then it will be taken to Game Crazy for store credit or played by family members.

Seriously, Microsoft has said the prizes will be while supplies last. What is the marginal cost of issuing 200 more Microsoft Points? Where is this finite supply of dashboard themes or gamer pics? Those can be distributed ad nauseam. If everybody who completes the challenge gets all of the prizes, that is more enticing, but I doubt M$ and 0S are springing for that much schwag.
