Perfect if you’re a LOTR or Hobbit fan

Looking for something to spend your Microsoft Rewards points on? Well, there’s a fantastic deal doing the rounds in certain regions which allows you to pick up six Lord of the Rings / Hobbit movies for just 1,500 points each.
This is part of something called the Middle-earth Movie Collection, and we can verify that it appears in both the UK and US (we’ve tested it with The Fellowship of the Ring in the UK and it works fine!). Simply head to the “Redeem” section of Microsoft Rewards on a browser, and if it’s available to you, it should be pretty visible.
Once you’ve received your code and redeemed it, you’ll be able to access the movie(s) by using the Films & TV app on Xbox and/or PC. Xbox users will be prompted to install this when hitting the “Watch” button on the film’s store page.
You can pick from one of the following six films to purchase for 1,500 Microsoft Rewards points:
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition)
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition)
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition)
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (Extended Edition)
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (Extended Edition)
To give you an idea of how cheap these six movies are, if you were to spend 1,500 points on a Microsoft Gift Card, you’d only get just over £1 in the UK. So, even if you just have a passing interest in one of these, it’s probably worth grabbing!
Just keep in mind that, as we’ve said, the Middle-earth Movie Collection is only available in certain regions. It’s always a shame when some Xbox fans have to miss out on offers like this – hopefully it’ll extend to more people eventually.
What do you make of this Xbox Rewards deal? Will you be grabbing any films? Tell us down below.
