Microsoft is offering free Microsoft Points to those who take advantages of the Xbox 360’s features.

As part of the Xbox Live Rewards Scheme, the “Triple Play” offers 300 Microsoft Points for gaming, as well as using the entertainment and social features. In order to obtain the rewards, players need to complete one in each of the categories:

Gaming:

• Play any Kinect game for 2 hours or more during the month of April.
• Experience multi-player gaming on Xbox Live for 10 hours or more during the month of April.
• Spend 800 Microsoft Points or more on game-related items in the Xbox Live Marketplace during the month of April (qualifying items include the following: Games on Demand, Game Add-Ons, or Arcade game titles).

Entertainment:

• Spend 400 Microsoft Points or more on any film or television content in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace during the month of April.
• Use any of these entertainment apps for 10 hours or more during the month of April:
  • BBC iPlayer
  • Blinkbox
  • Crackle
  • Last.FM
  • LOVEFiLM
  • MUZU.TV
  • Netflix

• Watch YouTube through your Xbox LIVE account for 1 hour or more during the month of April.

So playing ten hours of your favourite Xbox Live game, watching ten hours of Eastenders and one hour’s worth of cat videos on YouTube will bag you the points. Pretty simple really.
