Nothing screams “geek” like flashing your Xbox Live Diamond card on a date. But heck, a discount’s a discount—and fine dining can be expensive. Today, Microsoft unveiled the Xbox Live Diamond card, available free-of-charge to Xbox Live subscribers (note: the program will launch next year). The Diamond card will be personalized with your gamertag and will grant you discounts at participating retailers, including McDonald’s, Ticketmaster, and Timberland. [Joystiq]
This seems like an interesting approach Microsoft is taking to try and get more people to get Xbox Live. I think it is only available to the US at the moment, but seriously can you imagine going into McDonalds with a friend and flashing your ultra hip Xbox Live card? Probably not. Depending on what other retailers there will be and what else it can do, I think it may not be a bad idea.
