I have to believe the drive size information was a fairly recent addition. Oh well, I was expecting at least 128mb, but 16mb is better than nothing. 🙂 BTW, I probably signed the form within the first three days of it being posted. And I haven't received any backorder e-mail, or any e-mail from Microsoft, as a matter of fact.

I never received an email either... I am guessing that I won't be getting this, but if it comes it comes.

"Thank you for requesting the Mystery Solved USB drive loaded with valuable information. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery."

This thread was started less than 4 weeks ago so unless you got in on this before the thread was started, you still have few weeks to go.

I ordered mine 7 weeks ago. Thanks for trying to make me look bad though...
 
"I ordered mine 7 weeks ago..."

So this promo has been going for at least 3 weeks before it was posted here or at FW?

I ordered mine right after this thread was created. I am in no hurry for this, nor I am complaining since it has been nowhere near the alloted time to receive this. My concern is that I did not receive a confirmation email that many here state they received. Hopefully I will get it, but if not then oh well...

7 weeks now and nothing.
I don't really have a need for this anymore...
I got a 128Mb from OD for $3 AR
I also took an old 40GB laptop HDD put it in an enclosure and use that for most stuff.
 
ya, I no longer need this drive either. I did however receive something this week from AMD that I had signed up for. I think I signed up for free posters and stickers from AMD, but all I received was some magazine titled "Accelerate" with a guy that looked like Chuck Norris on the front.
