Apparently I have just won an Xbox and Kinect bundle from MS. Just got a phone call. This was through the MS ExpertZone. It's a site for retailers where you can earn points (redeem for rewards) and win prizes by completing quizzes. Similar to Intel Retail Edge for those who know that program. Neat 😛

Update: Sweet they published my name on the front of the web site 😛

I didn't even know there was such a contest. Their site is not very well designed when it comes to what rewards and contests there are. I received a free copy of Office for MAC a while back from them and it was the same thing. I didn't know I was even going to receive that for completing those quizzes. Everyone who completed that section got a free copy I think. In this case I think it's actually a contest.
 
dude, that's awesome. congrats!

my gf just bought the ps3 move kit... i'm like "... i kinda really wish i gave a shit about xbox, because the kinetic is SOOO much sweeter than this wii knock-off ps3 is trying to do". she's like, "wtf are you talking about? this is sweet as hell... we can play zombie shooting games and shit!"... i'm like, "yeah, but with the kinetic, you can beat them up... you can get a full body workout".
 
I'll give you ten bucks for it, plus this half a ham sammich...final offer.

Well nice :thumbsup:
Back in the day I won a pocket pc from one of those Christmas Dell Elf promotions. Anyone remember those?

say it with me now... kinect: K-I-N-E-C-T

Anyway, yeah the Move has been a pretty big disappointment to me so far. I find it more accurate than the wii and therefore has a lot of potential, but christ it's taking forever to get any games for it.

Nah. I've got a 1st gen xbox 360. Those things are prone to the red ring of death and this one is long past warranty. Will be nice to have a newer one even if I hardly play it. Besides its against the rules to sell it.
 
Ok L0cutos, don't get too eager. Are you sure the call was from Microsoft and not someone looking to snag your personal information?

We shall see. Apparently they will be sending me some document that I have to sign then send back and then they will send the bundle. They had me verify my shipping and billing address however THEY read it out to me and simply had me verify it was right. I had already entered this info online when I signed up to MS expert zone. If they were trying to get my personal info they would likely have asked me for this info and not read to me the info they already had.
 
Cool. My fat box is starting to freeze on me. GPU chip isn't cooling enough. I opened it up and see a piece of shit engineering. The hottest chip's getting less ventilation and space. No RROD yet, just put a 80x80mm fan on top of the HSU.

Did you know that if you took what you said you won (pocket PC), and instead of saying Pee See (PC) and used the phonetic sound of P, it would have been a much better prize....for a guy anyways.
