More good points. Microsoft's whole overpriced accessories/peripherals/subscriptions strategy coupled with the laughably crippled Arcade SKU is a huge exercise in nickel-and-diming your customers to death while tricking everyone else into thinking you're competitive on price.
(I know I'm both off topic and a broken record with this, but the $100 wi-fi adapter has to be one of the most ridiculous anythings of this entire console generation.)
Or Parappa the Rapper! I can't decide whether my aversion to plastic instrument music games is because of or in spite of my having played Parappa (and its sequels) to death 10+ years ago.
Oh, I understand where you're coming from. I'm just saying I can't see them launching a program like this so long after the console's release when people have already accumulated so much gamerscore because they'd end up giving away the whole marketplace in free points. And I think that their most loyal audience would be super annoyed if they had to start earning points from zero on the day such a program launched.

I realize we've drifted away from the subject of the rewards program, but this is an excellent point.

Great interview! I need to take another crack at Tools of Destruction, maybe actually finish it this time and move on to the other two.
