I don't want your dirty allards

However, no Allard is too dirty for me to take.....friend...

 

[Cth]

So, how long until the conga line starts for free months/points?

/only signed up once for me and once for the wife
//line starts below?

 

[SapientWolf]

GTFO, negative nancy. It's not as if earlier Live deals haven't been successfully exploited to hell and back. Hundreds of GAFers have maxed out Live subscriptions from them :lol

MS tends to keep a tighter rein on points than Live subscriptions though.

 

[Truespeed]

People need to look at the bright side to all of this - like reading the 100's of emails they send you every day advertising something you'll never want.

In this case MS would get their money though since this contest isn't coming out of their pocket, GS would have to pay them at whatever rate (doubt it's MSRP).

 

[AndyMoogle]

That's probably why The Faceless Master got over 40k points in one of these.

This is not the same though since it's Gamestop and the fact that they held off on sending out codes. They probably had a hunch that people would try to exploit the system and, obviously, we did. No one has gotten any codes, and I seriously doubt anyone will get more than one for the same mail address.

 

[Lunchbox]

yea if they really have no fraud prevention system in place (doubt that's the case) they could just restart the giveaway. Send out an e-mail to all tose who submitted a form letting them know and all the legit gamers won't mind at all as they take 1min to refill the form.

The guys who spend hours building up thousand upon thousands of ms points via exploits, however, will mind, and their bitter rants will be fun to read itt

regardless, anyone thinking they're getting their years of live and 50,000+ ms points are dellusional

u just mad cause we gone be rich

 

[Vanillalite]

Yet if you used real info they still got real info out of you, and you won't get anything in return! :lol

 

[Slayven]

Somewhere Constanza is laughing.

 

[dallow_bg]

Yeah, I've got friends that have gotten tens of thousands from previous promo. It's not unusual. Doesn't always fall through either.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Somewhere Constanza is laughing.

He was laughing until he realized that he wouldn't get all those thousands of points he thought he would get. Now he's crying.

 

[Vanillalite]

[Foxy Fox 39]

You could have epic tags come out of this....


"I spent 4 hours farming imaginary space bucks and all I have is a cease and desist order"

That's about how much time I spent...and I had to go to work with only 3 hrs of sleep.

 

[X26]

patriots have had a bad influence on you lunchbox, while cheating gamestop would undoubtedly please dark lord brady, don't be surprised if you start have trouble sleeping at night

oh and I actually would be a bit mad at myself if you guys did cash out, I don't really have any morals and if this panning out didn't seem so unlikely I'd probably have joined in

 

[Kusagari]

So, has anyone used the Friday's coupons and made sure they worked?

:lol

 

[Truespeed]

I set up an Amazon Mechanical Turk job and paid someone 2 cents per submission. I would be furious to be out a whole $2.

 

[Lazy Jones]

Nice prizes: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/surprizeattack/prize-page.aspx

Would be hilarious if someone won with fake info.

Yeah... We're not getting a single code. Time to move on and forget about this.

:lol

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[Truespeed]

You guys need to start rubicon-ing those email ads - the codes are in there I tell ya!

 

[friskykillface]

my subscription ends this weekend, i need that free month :lol :lol

 

[Maddog]

The dreamcar points got delayed like two months but they still came eventually.

 

[El Sloth]

So no legit 1 month free codes yet? By legit I mean people who only applied once.

EDIT: Meh, skimming the thread, I remembered that there were some loopholes that not everyone could exploit but I still managed to rape it thoroughly

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ohh come on. This shit is getting ridiculous. 9pm already. I wants them codes.

 

[Servbot #42]

I now highly doubt we are getting those codes, it's getting too late, i would be pissed if i actually owned a 360 :lol

 

[shintoki]

Orson Welles wants his 20000 Allards! 3 years of XBL! And a Jeep!

 

[enzo_gt]

Ohh come on. This shit is getting ridiculous. 9pm already. I wants them codes.

They are giving stuff away. For free. Least you can do is have some patience. Ain't no entitlement to jack shit here. Either we get it all, get it up to an IP cap, or jack shit at all.

I actually did order the game from Amazon?

Spoiler

They don't know that my name isnt Tyrone Biggums

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

You're like super late. :lol Live is dead but points may still work.

 

[grap3fruitman]

Or that I live at Wrigley Field.

 

[Instro]

Until they send out codes to legit people, we still got a chance. Just gotta hope hard enough.

lol. oh. whoooooops

 

[Michan]

If people get their codes, could somebody please donate one to me? I was late to the party.

That one still works if they actually wind up honoring the points it says.

Sure i'll give you one if all my codes went trough, tough i wouldn't hold my breath just yet :lol

round 2, fight.

 

[Vanillalite]

round 2, fight.

Oh shit game on again!!!

 

[Speevy]

Guys, if the codes weren't e-mailed out simultaneously with the Gamestop ads, it means one thing. They're checking entries for authenticity.

 

[Metalic Sand]

No 1 Month emails...

 

[bubnbob]

Told yall. Had to go and ruin it. I freakin won my points legit too.

 

[LightofRohan]

So they are doing the exact same thing again after last night? And they didnt even send anything. Such bs!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Meh, no point in hoping for this any more. It'll be a pleasant surprise if they actually send the month/point codes out, but I'm not going to think about it.

 

[Vanillalite]

Guys, if the codes weren't e-mailed out simultaneously with the Gamestop ads, it means one thing. They're checking entries for authenticity.

Those were just the generic e-mails everyone who's on the GS mailing list gets though. So they probably sent those out along with everyone else on their list. I don't doubt they are checking, but I doubt that is a reason to show they are checking.

 

[Speevy]

Does anyone have the guts to e-mail or call someone, saying that you want your points since you played legitimately?

 

[Monocle]

What would possess them to do such a blasphemous thing?

Give me a phone number and I'll happily do it.
