I don't get it. I got codes for Frogger and Joust. But at the bottom it says repeat steps 3 and 4 to redeem the rest of your codes. What does that mean??? Can anyone explain??? It means enter each one of your codes for each game.
Also I got three codes too even though I've had my XBL for quite ahile and my console wasn't purchased in the promotion period.

I got Frogger, Joust, and Robotron. If anyone is interested in swapping a different XBL game for Robotron, send me a PM.
Thanks OP! This was a pleasant surprise since I forgot about ever signing up. :)

MorbidAngel4Life
02-16-2007, 05:05 PM
I got Joust and Frogger too. Better then nothing, I geuss :lol:
Also, I used the 4 game code, so shouldn't I have gotten, you know, 4 games?
I registered, met all the qualifications and have gotten nothing so far. If I don't get the codes by the end of the day, I wonder if there is an address we can inquire to. I definately met the requirements, because my 360 was purchased late November and never had a Live account before then.
I did use the 4-game code (mentioned earlier in this thread), but it sounds like that did work for others.
But who knows, maybe the codes are still on their way...

I havn't got any code either and I registered late December early Jan. I hope they are still coming, my g/f would like playing frogger.

02-16-2007, 06:18 PM
I got Frogger, Robotron, and Joust as well.
I used the 4 game code. I actually got the email saying they would give 4 game codes, but only got the 3 (Robotron, Frogger, Joust).
Has anyone tried calling customer support? Not to discount 3 free games, but they did specifically state 4 in my email.
I already had Robotron, so I'm looking to trade it as well.

Man, I definately did this and never got a thing. Crap. I was excited about free Live Arcade games, even if they are kind of bottom-of-the-barrell.
Anyone want to give me a Robotron or Joust code? That would be awesome!

02-16-2007, 08:02 PM
they changed the website to say that you will receive an email by the 17th. So I assume another round of emails will go out tomorrow to get the people who haven't heard from them yet.

Well, I signed up for 2, and then signed up again for 4, and ended up getting 2 games. Frogger and Joust. Better than nothing, I suppose.
Anyone who doesn't want their robotron code- I'll give it a good home. :)

TheGreat2nd
02-16-2007, 10:06 PM
I know it's a stretch, but if anybody is feeling generous, shoot a Joust or Frogger code over this way?
Just in case anybody already has either of the games from other packages or so, kinda like the Uno thing with Vision Cam.
spincut
02-16-2007, 10:11 PM
people were giving away uno codes from getting live vision packages??! damn thats one of the few games i actually would want.
still, seems like there's alot of spare robotron codes that people dont want, i really dont have anything to trade for em though ;(

02-16-2007, 10:11 PM

Shame only new 360 owners could sign up for this. If anyone has an extra Robotron or Joust code they can't use, I'd really appreciate it if you send one over to me, thanks guys. I also have some 48 hour codes if you're interested.

I got frogger and joust and used the 4 game code. Disappointed that i only got 2 games but I did want joust. I also wanted robotron unfortunetly, if anyone already has it and isnt using it I would appreciate the code. Have nothing to trade though. : (

It wasn't just new owners.
...Well, Microsoft said it was, but there's many people in here that weren't new owners and they got codes. I signed up on a whim and got codes, and I had had my 360 since August. 8-)

Same here, got my 360 in June, signed up and got 3 codes today - same as everyone else (frogger, joust and robotron.)
Did anyone get all 4 codes or did the different promos (2 codes/4 codes) become 2 and 3?

I got Joust and Frogger too. Better then nothing, I geuss :lol:
Also, I used the 4 game code, so shouldn't I have gotten, you know, 4 games?
Yeah, same here, though I got those games and Robotron, some of the few I wanted but would most likely never spend money on. That said, I am tempted to see if anyone has a Heavy Weapon or Mutant Storm Reloaded code to trade, perhaps a Lumines code for all three of those. Doubtful anyone would do such a trade though. Plus I plan on buying them anyway... :D
Overall, while not the games I wanted, I am not at all disappointed. Free games are good and I won't have to waste 400 MS points on them now, if I ever decided to buy them. Thanks MS! ;)

02-17-2007, 04:04 PM
I have a feeling that they sent out the one and only group of emails to everyone. I hope not because I really want those 3 games. Believe it or not, this was one of the offers that prompted me to buy my 360 when I did. I'll wait till tomorrow and see, otherwise i'm gunna email major nelson and a few other departments in msoft and see what's up.

I really suck at both Frogger and Joust. I'm never going to get the achievements on those. I had never played Joust before though, so I suppose it's good that I got it.
Stormy151
02-17-2007, 05:36 PM
Well, what I don't get is that they had a promotion where some people were supposed to get FOUR games, and from the sounds of it only got 3. What's up with that?
I mean, I understand about being grateful to get anything for free, but still- if the promotion is for X, you shouldn't get Y...
Kinda getting leery of these half-a$$ed MS promotions, first the Rewards challenge is all smurfed up, now some people are not getting what was promised. WTF...

Well, if MS decided to make up for that, I'll take at least Pac-Man or Gauntlet. That said, three is better than none. Seeing how many have registered and haven't gotten anything yet, I am just happy we weren't all screwed over, and the promotion actually went through after all... :)

I recieved an email from Xbox customer support asking that I call the regular support number (800-4MY-XBOX). I called, and not suprisingly, they had no idea of the offer I was talking about (although that is no fault of the support people). After a few minutes of talking to the guy and then his supervisor they were going to forward the information to Microsoft and get back to me within 5-10 buisness days. I don't know what's going to happen but i'll keep you guys informed.
