Looks like the Xbox Rewards program site is back up and running, following a heartfelt apology from the team at Microsoft and, we assume, some firms slaps upside the figurative head of the application servers.

The good news? Your wait to register was not in vain. Says the marketing gurus of the Xbox team:

To help ensure everyone who wants to participate has the opportunity, the Old Spice Experience Challenge will be extended by three days. Now you have until April 15th 2007 to increase your Gamerscore by 1,500. As a bonus, we are adding more rewards for this challenge, which means more gamers who successfully complete the challenge will get rewarded.

Now your chances of winning random crap by sitting on your ass playing games all day are that much better! It's a Valentine's Day miracle! Michael McWhertor
