I ordered stuff on July 8th, no show. :/ Except on July 2nd, I ordered Live Arcade Unplugged and got it around a week later no problems.

Are you guys still playing this or just waiting for prizes now?

I'm up to just over 22060 now

Nice, I am just waiting for my prizes.

Every time there seems to be doubt about IL still shipping prizes a handful of people get something. It seems they're shipping just enough stuff to keep people playing.

Even if I do get something I ordered, I'm done with them. I played too fast and they wiped me. So then I played slow and it took forever to get anything; just the way they want it.

Theres no reason to keep giving them marketshare for shafting us.

[Malachi]

How long was the original estimated shipping time? Was it 8 weeks? I'm still waiting for stuff from the first half of July...

[Malachi]

I tried playing but it's just not that fun anymore...I hope my prizes come this month or else it'll most likely be a lost cause.

[ighosty]

playin for another wireless now, need to finish the collection

[wonder squirrel]

I made about 10,000 points on my own, macro'd pretty much the rest.

As far as I know though, theres no working bots/ macros etc so you have to play the games legit now. But hell, none of the games are difficult, they are time consuming, but its just a matter of the crapshoot if your going to recieve anything your playing for

[CocheseUGA]

Anyone else get blank emails from IL? Turns out I got one on 8/5. I ordered Flight Sim X on 7/15, and haven't seen it yet.

Not me.

I did get a personal response to an email I sent them about updating the games though.. although it was of no help, but atleast some of the emails are being read

[enjoi777]

i received PGR3 last friday and i ordered that on 7/22 but havent seen the other stuff i ordered on 7/15, 7/16, and 7/18 which would be 2 controllers and kameo

[hootie]

Woo! I just pended a trade including my Zune for somebody's PSP with custom firmware and a 4GB mem. stick!

Thank you MS! :D

[dmasterofgamez]

9/9/07 i still got the printed sheets but after all this i guess it won't happen probly since u know wat I did WINK WINK***** but w/e can't play my xbox anyway both accounts zeroed anything else???????????

[Malachi]

I have gotten a few of those blank emails...Don't know what they do though...I have probably been getting them about once a month

[nyyanksfan20]

I got the headphones in the mail today. I ordered a bunch of other stuff too but my account was zeroed so I can't really complain if they don't come.

[CTHG]

emailed and now they say it'll take up to 12 weeks to ship!

[whitedeath]

9/5 i got a blank email today anyone else recieve one of these today?

[ashram]

my wife's account got a shipping notification today, but doesn't say for what... we ordered a 360 controller, headphones, and a zune case..... what sucks is that at the rate things are going.... i don't think i'm going to see my zune.... all that time wasted. stuff on wife's account was ordered on 7/24/07, zune was ordered 7/23/07

[Kueller]

Got two shipment notifications today, neither of which said what was being shipped. Also, one is being shipped by Fedex and one by USPS. And one was shipped on 8/31 and one was shipped yesterday and the expected arrival date for both is Friday.

[Malachi]

Lucky you...All I got today was another one of those stupid blank emails...

[Soujiro_Seta]

my laptop case was supposed to ship today and I didnt get any emails. Oh well my points got zeroed so I probably wont get anything anyway.

[koji126]

I got a shipment email also. But mine says it was shipped on 8/27 and it will arrive on 8/31. But I guess it already arrived. I'm still waiting for more things though.

[ashram]

i should mention that my account has not been zero'd out... and i still play a little here and there... i'll probably stop playing until the zune arrives....

[Kueller]

Got another shipping email on another account, this one also not saying what's in the package. But the only things I ordered on that account were a Zune and the five song downloads and the tracking information says "signature required," so it's the Zune.

[enjoi777]

ok i just got kameo which i ordered 7/17 but got my pgr3 i ordered 7/21 first
if it goes in the same order, ill be getting 2 controllers this week that i ordered on 7/15 and 7/16

[Kueller]

Which reminds me, the Zune was ordered 7/24.

[NintendoGal]

Where do the shipments come from? I just got a door tag from FedEx and wondered where the prizes come from.

[Access_Denied]

Pheonix, Arizona.

[life.exe]

So...should I be expecting anything if I ordered early July? I havent been keeping up with this.

[HighlightShow]

I ordered my Zune on July 21st, and the account was never zeroed. I hope I get it eventually...

[Access_Denied]

I think that we can almost guarantee that zero'd accounts won't get prizes. I know some people said they did, but I'm skeptical.

[kidgenius]

What's up with you guys and bots? :)

I played legit, ordered a Wireless 360 Controller, and I just got a shipping e-mail saying it'll come in 2-3 days.

And for you curious people, I order July 27th. I'm so happy! :bouncy:

Well, let's look at both sides.

Spend hours of time working for a prize.

Spend 10 minutes setting up a macro to get an even bigger prize.


Well, I guess you're right, bots are not the way to go. :drool:

[soccrsnipe]

I got 3 controllers coming via fedex... ordered 21/22/23 july.

[masterofdarkness]

I have pretty much given up on this, I'm getting nothing..

[GabberCadaver]

Hey hey hey forum peoples... i've gotten blank emails in my spam folder from msls-memberservices@incentivelogic.com i belive this to be live search club no? any idea what it is?

[GabberCadaver]

P.S. i ordered a zune... has any one even gotten one?

[Kueller]

I'll let you know either tomorrow or the day after.

[Miken21]

Whats going on?I just ordered my second controller and the process went through fine. It says my ship date is november 1. You saying I might not get anything? btw I played legit and already scored one controller.

[tarouza]

i just got a shipping email..what weighs 1.7 lbs and has status of home delivery-indirect signature required for is that definatly a zune

[Hockey37]

Ordered a Zune on 7/23, only thing I ordered.
Just checked my e-mail that I used for the account, got the shipping notice. Coming from AZ, 1.6 lbs., sig. required.
IIRC, my estimated shipping date when ordering it was 9/23, or there about.

[Kueller]

Got my Zune just now. I'll post some pics in a bit if I can get a hold of a camera at the office.

[glider624]

did anyone who tried for the zune play legit? or did they macro? cause..i ordered july 20th...and still nothing..

[jthieme]

I played legit for a zune and it hasn't shown up yet. Still hoping I get it though.

edit: thats not me btw. found it on another forum

[n8littlefield]

I just (finally) hit 10k points today after sitting at 9200 for about a month now and not wanting to play. I'm re-energized to start again and work towards my Zune. I'm thinking I could get there in a week or so - but since I'm only 1000 away from maxing out Flexicon I'm not sure. If I whip through Chicktionary with an anagram solver will I get my points revoked?

[Kueller]

Nah, don't think they've been zeroing accounts since the last update when they shut down Nuke.

thats exactly my situation, but i used a fake email. will this hinder my chances at all?

[HighlightShow]

Argh, I ordered my Zune on July 21st. The account hasn't been zeroed. Where are you?!?!

[Kueller]

thats exactly my situation, but i used a fake email. will this hinder my chances at all?

That's probably irrelevant. My email on this particular account was set up specifically for that account.

Argh, I ordered my Zune on July 21st. The account hasn't been zeroed. Where are you?!?!

Alabama.

[happy]

Is the blank email a guarantee that something shipped? If so I'm going to be even happier in a few days...

[Mr.collection]

Well I almost got my Zune today but fedex was 40mins early, so I will get it tomarrow :bouncy: . Same exact stuff as Kueller except I live in Ohio. I got my controller today though but its at my grandma's. Now if only I could get the laptop case, 6 sets of movie tickets, 3 sets of playing cards, flash drive, vista ultimate(from 7/1) and zune case I also ordered that would be great.

[Charron]

...all I wanted was a controller.

[Fragonard]

I ordered my copy of Vista on the 5th of July, still havn't gotten it.

[Kueller]

I've also got three other things on the way. One of them weighs 1.5 lbs. so I assume it's a controller. No idea what the other things are.

I also tried taking the Zune to Walmart but no luck. I was so close to getting a gift card but the one employee kept whispering in the manager's ear, saying things like, "but it's electronics, and I think we need a receipt to do anything with it." Oh well. I had a guy on standby so I'll be getting $150 from him for it tomorrow. I could have gotten more but the price went down yesterday because of all the iPod stuff. Either way, I'm not at all irritated as that's a free $150, and I'll now be able to pick up Skate next week.

[glider624]

Did all the people who recently got their zunes recieve a shipping email beforehand?? (i ordered 20th...WHY WONT IT COME...i played legit..mostly..)

[koji126]

I'm getting shipping emails for my other stuff from another account, but nothing from my Zune account. I have 2 more packages from my other account on the way. Shipped 9/5, arriving 9/8. I hope my Zune email gets shipping notifications soon. It'll be my first and only mp3 player if I do get it.

[Gotran]

Got my Pink Zune September 6th, Account Zeroed, no shipping email, I believe I ordered July 12th.

[Secret Turtle]

Just got 2 emails that both my movie passes are being shipped today.

[tarouza]

just got my zune black shipped 8/31 got shipping email the other day

[Kayden]

just got my zune black shipped 8/31 got shipping email the other day
When did you order it?

[Hypnot1zed]

Sorry if someone already asked this but, I recieved a blank e-mail from Live search club. Does this mean the item has been sent?

[djbooba]

It was probably just your account summary for the month

[tarouza]

not sure i ordered 3 through that which shall not be talked about one on 7/10, one on 7/11 and one on 7/23 the first two accounts were zeroed the other one wasnt. dont remember which one i linked to this particular email. Funny part is Vista Ultimate that i ordered before i know about certain things i haven't gotten yet

[Kueller]

Got a controller today.

[ashram]

i got something.... but it's on the porch waiting for me to get home.

[soccrsnipe]

3 controllers 1 kameo from 2 accounts... i have so much stuff waiting for my twisted xbox to come in.

[neverletthem]

Shipping date for my game was supposted to be tommorow, nothing on it yet. Do i dare attempt to email IL........

[Sarge]

I just got my zune today, will post pics if anyone wants it


BUT IT WAS PINK

[Kueller]

I unloaded the Zune, and I also just got a pair of faceplates.

[twiztidjester]

I just got my zune today, will post pics if anyone wants it


BUT IT WAS PINK

i hope i get a pink one

[ashram]

well, looks like i may have gotten my zune, but missed the delivery (i'm not expecting anything else, especially from pheonix, az!) i called fedex and re-delivery is tomorrow. hopefully it's black or white.....

[JokerCard]

Im am upset that I didn get anything....yet but...

Then again, I cant be because I really didnt do much....so ehh

[Oktoberfest]

weird... I just got a Wireless Xbox360 controller. No shipping email. It was from a nuke account that I made cause I was mad. I ordered some other stuff from that account (like shirts, and I think a webcam) but didn't get those.

I still haven't got the two Vistas that I got legit from late July and early August

Is there no rechargeable battery on this thing?

[Kueller]

You have to buy those separately.

[Sarge]

I'm happy I got my zune, my other things havent come in on my other account but I dont care anymore I got what a wanted.

Good luck to all you other hopers and dreams out there! :)

[Azentium]

I'm starting to lose hope on getting Vista Ultimate. It was expected to ship on September 2nd, however, when I called FedEx yesterday they told me nothing was en route to my house. Hopefully they're just restocking and will start shipping them out again. I really wish I could contact them on the matter, but it looks like if you do you run the risk of being labeled a cheater and having your prizes cancelled, regardless of whether you played legitimately or not.

Current status (Zeroed and Legit):
Vista Ultimate - Ordered 7/8 - Status: Unknown
Flight Simulator X - Ordered 7/8 - Status: Recieved - Shipping e-mail: No - Sent: 8/16
Zoo Tycoon 2 - Ordered 7/8 - Status: Recieved - Shipping e-mail: No - Sent: 8/14

[glider624]

I made a stupid mistake of emailing microsoft, and they sent me an automated response (blah blah games like these come with risks...invalid activity..)even though I played legit...so do u think i lost my zune...now..? And...how do i call fedex? Is it easy? I ordered 20th...im sad...cause the other guy nuked and got it...

[masterofdarkness]

I saw Fedex come down my drive and i was like o shit my thing is here! but it ended up it's my brothers logitech sterio...

[wyldmojo]

just got shipping confirmation that i have something waiting for me at my campus box, sweet at least i got something, not sure what

[jthieme]

My daughter just got a pink Zune today that her and I played for legit. So we're happy.

[badramen]

To my surprise, I got another Flight Simulator X Deluxe today. It was shipped from a zeroed account on September 5th. Yay!

[re4manonline]

How Do I get points fast?

PM me please

[norkusa]

I ordered a wireless controller on 6/29/07 and Flight Simulator X the day after. I got FSX last month but I'm still waiting on the controller (which had an estimated ship date of 8/23/07. I sent Live Search Club an email the other day asking about the status of my order and got this reply:

I'm not sure what that means. It sounds like they busted me for using macros but account isn't zeroed out and I still got my order for FSX which was placed after the one I made for the controller.

well, my zune (black :) ) arrived about 2 hours ago!

[wyldmojo]

i got 2 controllers and 2 webcams that i ordered like a month or so ago. Didnt think anything was coming but it did.

[Foladar]

Cleaned up a few posts that were about and/or quoting macro posts, lets stop any and all macro/bot talk as the topic says because cleaning up this thread daily isn't that great.

[CocheseUGA]

I'd totall keep playing from time to time and try to earn enough points to get a Zune if I'd have some wayof knowing that it would actually show up.

FSX would go a long way towards that.

2x Free Movie Tickets

Received: 9/8 via USPS


I'm still waiting for my Zune, Zune case, laptop bag, 2x earphones, and magazine.

[dgl]

I ordered most of my stuff on July 8th and still nothing, hopefully some stuff comes.

[twen]

I got Kameo & 2 360 controllers on Friday. I swear to god I hate the blister packs, I knicked one of the controllers with a knife. Thankfully I only needed one controller, so I traded in that one and my old one and kept the other new one.

And my friend got his pink Zune on Saturday.

[GabberCadaver]

did anyone figure out what the blank emails mean????

[blueweltall]

Anybody want to trade a new wireless 360 controller for a new Forza 2?

Sigh. They're monthly update statements. They're supposed to tell you your ticket history, but they're not working.

About how long would it take it get 20000 tickets for a Zune? What game would you recommend to be able to get a good amount of points quickly?

[n8littlefield]

I'm up to 11,500 playing legit - it's been a very long process though - with about a month off in the the middle due to lack of interest on my part. I'm hoping by the end of next week to have earned my Zune though.

[ighosty]

I have been playin legit since July. Actually stoped playin in august but i'm just tryin to get some contollers.

[h3llbring3r]

So wikipedia now says that they are capping the total number of points per game? I Just maxed out chicktionary I think. It's been two days and it still wont let me play. I had 1580 and no more . . .

it probably didnt go through if they said you didnt place an order and your points are still there. try doing it again

[ryan7590]

I ordered a zune on 7/25 but I never got a confirmation E-mail. Will I get it?

[Sockey]

Just got windows vista home premium. I ordered an ultimate back in June but never got it.

[georox]

Just got windows vista home premium. I ordered an ultimate back in June but never got it.
Seriously? There might be hope for me yet then, waiting since july 2nd here.

[CocheseUGA]

Got an email stating they would look into it, but I'm not expecting anything.

I might play some more anyways, just in case. I wish they would put some Mah Jong or actual fun games, but I know it wouldn't mesh with their Live search.

[Sockey]

Seriously? There might be hope for me yet then, waiting since july 2nd here.
The vista I got wasn't the one I ordered in June. I ordered a copy of home premium on a separate account. Sorry to get your hopes up.

[someguy2222]

yea but the problem is it took my tickets and it says the controller is in my prize thing, im really confused, maybe i put a typo in the info or somthin, argh

[djbooba]

I got a copy of Vista Home Premium today at 7:00pm. I put my order in on 7/24 I think. There is hope yet for the rest of my stuff.

Fulfillment my ass. They are RANDOMLY sending prizes to people in NO order what so ever. Random items show up and are being sent to cheaters and legit players out of order with no respect to when somebody ordered it.

[Tricky]

They added two new games Search Queries and Star Shuffle. You can give tickets to charity.


Edit: Star Shuffle is just another name for Elvis Lives.

i just got two shipping confirmations. those should be my zune case and headset.

Yep. I got another email saying a package was sent out the 14th. I have 2 accounts, both with different cheating methods, and I've been getting items from both but only shipping emails from the 2nd. I've been getting packages on and off since the first of the month.

You have to expect that people are not going to buy a piece of electronics for the same price as they can get it on Amazon (with free shipping), where they get the luxury of returning it within 30 days should it be defective, without having to go through a tedious manuf. warranty process.

And this is before taking into account the lack of popularity that the Zune carries with it. Try ~$160-$170 with free shipping (First Class) as a dangling carrot. Otherwise you're just going to be wasting both time and listing fees.

[RESmonkey]

I thought Zunes retailed for $250. Guess craigslisters check amazon :P

Zunes are $159 on Amazon w/ free shipping. MS dropped the MSRP to 199 a couple of weeks ago.

Wow, I'd just logged in to club live for the first time in a couple weeks and noticed this as well. Funny since they'd been advertising the charity portion for months and it wasn't available. There's also a few other prizes that I hadn't seen before, like netball.

[becuzimbrown]

hi, im your neighbor from the tropicana thread! i have a tropicana faceplate and 900 ms points if anyone would like to trade for anything...thanks!

Who did you email & did you have a legit account?

[CocheseUGA]

The contact email is a few pages back, and yes.

They won't even respond to my emails anymore. I think I'm going to complain to Microsoft out of prinicple.

[Coyotezeye]

The contact email is a few pages back, and yes.

Thanks..

When did you order your FSX? And when was the Estimated ship date?

I ordered a copy with a not so legal account, which was zeroed. I did recieve the confirmation email when I ordered it, along with a estimated ship date of Sept. 6.

Any chance I will still get my copy?

[neverletthem]

DAMN! I just checked my email and saw a shipping email. I thought it was for my Controler that i ordered at the end of Augest (I REALLY REALLY doubted that was it), turns out it was just the shipping email for my Zoo Tycoon that i got on friday.....

[quadomatic]

Hmmm...is tonight's theme snes again? Or is it a mistake (page not updated)?

[CocheseUGA]

I ordered it 7/15, got no confirmation emails whatsoever.

Where did you find that picture? I ask because the limit on items is 5.

[thericochet]

FSX is definitely not worth the 3250 tickets they're asking for. I saw it today at Target for $19.99. Wouldn't even be worth 2250.

[twen]

Keep in mind it's the Deluxe version that is $10 more. And it was like $59.99 when it came out.

[Access_Denied]

Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse for only 5000? I'm getting some of those.

[stevenroolz]

has anyone gotten a zune case?

[CocheseUGA]

Still retails for $50, even at Target.

Yes, but no Zune..yet.

[ashram]

still waiting on mine.... the target near me is dumping cases at $10, but i want my free one 1st...

[Chitown021]

Here's the latest in my ongoing saga...

A few weeks ago I e-mailed MS saying I was offended that they zeroed my account and called me a cheater. They responded saying they were going to have tech support "re-evaluate" my account. I e-mailed them yesterday asking for an update and here's the response:

Dear Live Search Club Participant,

We made a request and a follow up request from our Technical Support Team for this review of your account. Your patience is appreciated as we are working to obtain this information and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Finally got my 5 song downloads and its from my Zune account. My ship date was 9/18...now waiting for the final prize of that account...my Zune.

[Kayden]

Someone write a very menacing, yet vague, email that we can all copy and paste to foot to ass IL into shipping our stuff.

[Kayden]

Man... I'd like to get that bluetooth keyboard, but I know they wont ship the fucking thing. I like the description too.
Bluetooth wireless technology offers superior power and reliability, and the included optical mouse provides time-saving maneuverability and precision. Connections: USB


I hope they mean it has a USB bluetooth dongle.

did that come via Fedex Home Delivery and did you have to sign for it? If so I think mine will come tomorrow because I got a note today from Fedex because they attempted to deliver but I wasn't home. This is getting me excited..:)

EDIT: just checked the door tag number and it's from Phoenix,AZ! weighs 1.1 pounds. hope it's my Vista!

[CounterSeal]

Yea, it's Fedex and I had to sign for it =D

[lionheart4life]

That gives me hope that my Vista may some day come. I did get an order confirmation, but I also semi-cheated so I won't be too heartbroken if it never comes. I'm just thinking about building a new PC soon and it would be great not to have to pay for an OS.

[quadomatic]

So you had to sign for your Vista Ultimate?

What if no one is there to sign for it? Will they just come back later?

Checked on gamefaqs, looks like lots of ppl are getting their Vistas again. I'm hoping I'll see mine in the next few days. Heck...maybe I'll see it tomorrow :D

If nobody is there to sign for the package, they'll likely leave a door tag (if they do their job) stating they came that day, and leave a number that you can call and either arrange for a day for you to be there, or pick it up at their fedex location nearby once the packages arrive back to them.

[quadomatic]

Just called 1800-go-fedex

They told me they delivered a package yesterday, which I got. But, that wasn't my Vista of course. Then they said they haven't gotten any packages headed my way.

But, then again, people have said that they've called when they had their tracking numbers, and FedEx said they had nothing coming for them. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's shipping FedEx Home Delivery and not FedEx Ground or Express. I asked the person on the phone and she told me that Ground and Home Delivery were similar.

[quadomatic]

[quadomatic]

Where did you see the 12 week deadline?

Apparently they changed the deadline from 6-8 weeks to 8-12 weeks...or was it 10-12 weeks...

It looks like a lot of the people receiving Vistas now are in southern California. I think that means the Vistas have only recently started shipping, like maybe on the 17th or 18th.

I'm in Illinois, so I don't think I'll see mine today (if at all). Maybe I'll see it in the next few days (not sunday or monday though, since FedEx doesn't ship those days)

[panasonic]

zomg i might get my vista i ordered july 8 never recieved and i have a legit non zeroed account. WOOT!

[Foladar]

No, if they left a doortag, it'll say when they'll attempt to redeliver on it.

Gah...5 o'clock and still nothing

Maybe I'll receive it later

[Dicerion]

After playing all summer I finally got enough points to order a 360 controller and adapter. I only played this when I had the time so im happy. Hopefully this will come, it said ship date 11/15, which is a damn long time from now, but oh well for free ill take it.

[quadomatic]

Well this isn't fair...

New order cancellation emails say that people with more than one of the same item ordered have all the orders cancelled...I ordered my Vista Ultimates when the limit of 5 per household. I ordered 4, legitly...hmmmm

I hope this doesn't mean I won't get my Vista...

[Foladar]

Tried emailing them for past two weeks for an MIA Zune but nothing still. Its not for me, however a relative won it two and a half months ago so I figured I'd attempt to contact them, but no dice. And yes, they did everything legitimately, and their only prize was the Zune.

[Kayden]

They aren't a member of the BBB so there goes that idea...

[GunsGermsSteel]

I didn't know they weren't a member of the BBB, but that didn't stop me from giving them a strongly-worded e-mail (don't worry, I didn't use profanity; I'm not ten) when they accused me of cheating and canceled my Vista. I'm not giving this up without a fight. I didn't cheat and the fact that I ordered all my prizes at the same time and they sent me the 360 controller implictily acknowledges that I didn't cheat. Some of you may think I should just wash my hands of it, but I won't be called a cheater and then cheated out of what I earned with my time and giving attention to their service.

Sure!

Dear Live Search Club Customer Support,

This is simply unacceptable. I played the games fairly and without any bots, macros, or any other assistance. I don't even know how I would use such things to help me gain an advantage. I just played the games, used my own knowledge, and the Microsoft search engine. To cancel my order based on this insulting assumption is heinous. I ask that you re-review my order and ship me the prize that I earned immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to report this case to the Better Business Bureau and will do everything in my power to inform people that your service is fraudulent.
If I do not hear back from you within the next two weeks, I will take my case to those who will not cheat me out of my time and effort.

Sincerely,
Your Name Here (my parents were indecisive)

[Kayden]

Thanks man!

[n8littlefield]

Have you considered taking your issue up with Microsoft itself? I would send a strong email to them letting them know that it may not be them running the site, but it certainly reflects upon them as a company that they allow their name on something ripping consumers off.

[Dracula Jones]

I'm trying to track down some kind of contact at Microsoft Live Search. My Vista never shipped and all I got was the canned response last week and no responses since. I had items ship that were ordered before and after Vista, so there's no good reason why Vista didn't ship.

[Foladar]

Unless an item you got previously is considered a "big ticket item" as I believe they now limit you to one per household.
