Sports titles, specifically 2K6 titles. I managed 2000 in two hours with College Hoops 2K6 and NBA 2K6. Played exactly one game of each(set on full quarters/halves).
You will probably have to call around to find them at a video store though. Most won't have them anymore. I called 8 before I found one that had one.

Yep, I completed the challenge at Level 3 thanks to Madden 06 and NBA Live 06. I simmed my way through most of it and it only took a few hours, and I returned both games to Blockbuster today.

OK, I've rented Cars. Going to try and split the last 1375 I need between Cars & The Godfather this weekend. Any tips from those who have gotten those achievements?

IMSPEED - Fast Start (this gives you a couple second head start)
VROOOM - Unlimited Boost (once you get boost in the story)
I got 850 in about 3-4 hours. I didn't do the Sheriff one because it was giving me problems, and then the Postcard one (find 20 easter eggs, basically) because I didn't feel like looking for them all.

I'm still laughing at myself for joining this contest but I didn't want to get left out. It takes me forever to earn points.

I signed up, but I doubt I'll come close to 1500 points. Even if I do, I'm sure the rewards will be gone by then. I don't plan to change my gaming habits for this promotion.
I should say, I *think* I signed up. I completed an online form which says I'm signed up, but when I go to xbox.com/rewards, I just get the form again.
What's the URL for tracking your progress?

my advice to all: rent NHL 2K6 - adjust the sliders appropriately and you should be able to get 1000 points in less than 10 minutes. The only points that are even slightly challenging is "score on a penalty shot on All-Star Level". Just use this guide:

I am almost finished with my points. I got 1000 in King Kong and got 20 in Lost Planet.
I'll probably work through GRAW on hardcore to get those points. And starting on Gears on Insane today as well.

Browsing MyGamerCard.net, looks like 462 have finished. Almost a fifth of the [original 2,500] level 3 prizes accounted for. There's still a long way to go for all the prizes. I thought for sure they would go quicker.
Looking at all the winners is still looks like only a dozen to twenty or so people are in level 1 & 2. Looks like those prizes will last the duration of the contest.

If you are out there Flay, who exactly told you that as long as we got that registration part complete that we would be for sure in the contest(you had mentioned this in the main 360 thread when we were all discussing the contest and the site was having the issues). It appears that you definitely have to press the JOIN CHALLENGE button for your points to count or is there a contact we can send to someone at Microsoft to have points updated as of registartion time because it has only counted the amount of points I have since finally being able to press the join challenge button yesterday. So instead of having the 1500 points I need it say I only have gotten 285 points so far.
