When I read this, I got excited... AND I DON'T EVEN OWN AN XBOX 360!  I'm truly glad to see that the gaming community is finally getting real rewards for gaming.  Yes, there have been competitions on the PC before and there have been competitions locally for various games, but it seems like combining rewards with the already popular Xbox Live is a big step forward.  This kind of thing is just what Microsoft needs to get those stragglers online and playing games.  I have a feeling in another few years, this kind of thing will become very popular.
