The Old Spice Experience Challenge: Earn Achievement Points to Win Fabulous Prizes

Let’s face it: other than bragging rights and the ability to call everyone with a lower Gamerscore a “noob,” those Xbox 360 achievement points are pretty worthless. Luckily, Old Spice and 360Voice.com have partnered up to bring Xbox gamers the “Old Spice Experience Challenge.” This isn’t one big contest either; it’s a whole new site for multiple mini-contests. Basically, you can start a new challenge or create your own to go head-to-head with other players and see who can bolster their Gamerscore the most in the alloted time. The website also keeps track of your Gamerscore for you, so all you have to do is log in and see how you stack up to everyone else. The winner gets several prizes depending on how long the contest runs. Prizes include Xbox Live memberships, GameFly subscriptions, Best Buy and Amazon.com gift cards, and Microsoft Points. The top prize is an HD-DVD player (which may sadly not be worth much now that Warner Bros. is jumping onto the Blu-Ray wagon).

So basically, sign up for a challenge and then borrow or rent games like mad. Might I suggest Avatar: The Last Airbender for the most ridiculously easy achievement boost ever? You can view some of the different challenges and prize packages after the break. And you can start signing up for challenges here.
