When the Xbox Rewards site went live yesterday, there was a mad rush to register. Gamers ready and willing to take the Old Spice Challenge brought the site to its knees. But Microsoft and crew are on the case. Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb wants to let you know:

As you may have noticed, the site is experiencing some issues right now. The marketing team is working on fixing them. In the mean time, if you are able to register...you then have to join the challenge. So really it's a two step process...assuming you can actually get into the site. Once I get an update, I'll report back.

We'll let you know when the Rewards program is once again ready for primetime. Michael McWhertor
