Microsoft announces rewards for pre-ordering Xbox One and Xbox 360 games

This holiday season, Microsoft is going to reward Xbox LIVE Reward members with 15,000 reward credits ($15 value) for each Xbox One or Xbox 360 game pre-ordered and shipped through the Microsoft Store. That's $5 more than the current offer of a $10 gift card in Store or $10 on Xbox LIVE. And with exclusives like Halo: Master Chief Collection and Sunset Overdrive on the horizon, this offer couldn't have come at a better time.

In addition to the extra credit, Microsoft also announced exclusive content when you pre-order the game through Microsoft Store.

For Halo: The Master Chief Collection, you'll receive a "My Other Car is a Warthog" throwback license plate frame, a Master Chief window decal, and an exclusive "Boom" Skull that unlocks 2x explosion physics for the Halo 2: Anniversary campaign.

With Sunset Overdrive pre-orders through the Microsoft Store, you'll get exclusive melee weapons Acordes de la Muerte and The Hangover as an added bonus to the Day One Edition.

The Xbox LIVE Rewards holiday bonus offer is valid on up to three games pre-ordered at the Microsoft Store.
