Calvin Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Started out the week buying Outlaw Volleyball (after Leslie ended up in the hospital - she is okay though) Then decided to trade in DOA:XBV & Mortal Kombat (who needs 2 volleyball games) & used the credit towards Star Wars:KOTOR, which I got today. And when I got home - my XBL retail point games came in with: Inside Pitch 2003 Shenmue II & Brute Force (& a XBox hat) - all for a small shipping & handling fee. Life is good & a month's vacation awaits!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelley Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Well Brute Force should take 1 day, Shenmue II about 4 or 5, OV and Inside Pitch you can play while you take "breaks" between multi hour plays of KOTOR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that Cal is going to be a busy man for awhile. I am wondering if he plans on scheduling any family time in the near future ? :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Xbox heaven it is. Today at lunch I took a little trip to Best Buy. Finally, I see Tony Hawk 4 for $19.99. I grabbed that, plus a controller S (and a cheap $9.99 DVD). My travels then took me to the nearby mall. I kept saying "No" to myself, but I didn't listen to me. I resisted, but the body made a b-line for the ATM. I then found myself in front of the register at EB and mumbled the words "Knights of the Old Republic". Looks like I'll be busy this weekend. Rail grinds and Sith affiliation are on order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Tyner Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 sorry, what's this? If you work for certain retailers that sell XBox product, you can take 'quizzes' online in exchange for points that are redeemable for 'free' product (you only pay s&h).

Chatakinns Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 my XBL retail point games came in with sorry, what's this? When X-Box launched, they had retail employees come to a restraunt/meeting place in the area they were in, ours was Boston. Since we both worked for Toys R Us we got to go play X-Box before anyone else. They have a retail site that you can earn points to redeem for free stuff. If they do this again with the next system for them ... I guess I will have to go back to Toys R Us for awhile lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 http://retail.microsoft.com//retail/xbox/s...2Fretail%2Fxbox You can make stuff up to get the free games. You just need to know a few easy facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 I started taking a bunch of those quizzes and then found out they don't ship to Canada :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatakinns Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 I am not sure about the " make up stuff " They did verify employment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 They never verified employment the previous two times I used it. It's possible they did so over my head but I never heard anything about it. I can't rule out the possibility they may do so. At any rate, it's worth a try for those of you interested. Worst case, you spend 30 minutes filling out silly quizes and get charged a few bucks for shipping (which is refundable). Might work, might not.
