I had a dream last night that I had a Zune at my house when I got home from classes... I was way excited, and it was a pink zune nontheless. That increased my excitement ten-fold. Then I woke up, and was sad...

[CaWris]

I got my Rock Band shipping notice today. It says that it was delivered but no one was there to sign for it. Do they just try again the next day?

[rockinaway247]

I question your sanity.......

[Mister8bal]

Is the new "Zune" prize an actual zune or is it just a carrying case for a zune?

[CaWris]

looks like a backpack.

[Miranda]

Is the new "Zune" prize an actual zune or is it just a carrying case for a zune?

It's hard to tell. The name for the prize and ticket value of it makes it seem like it's a Zune. But then the description makes it seem like just a carrying case. That would be so stupid to have a 20K carrying case up there though.

[WarriorBlake]

Is the new "Zune" prize an actual zune or is it just a carrying case for a zune?


For 20k, it BETTER be the zune! And the leather cases are back too.

[jtokchain5]

btw, if any of you have noticed, but when you get your prize it gives you the address of the sender and its a suite. which means the site is running by like 5 people in on place. its a suite, which means its a small room or and apartment.

[WarriorBlake]

I have an idea if anyone wants to try it. Not sure if you can do it, but the day you get a prize, act "dumb" and ask where your prize is at. I wander if they will send a "cheater" email if you do since you may no get a conformation email.

[Tricky]

When you select the zune as a prize it comes up as MS Zune 30GB. I ordered one.

Order Details

MS ZUNE 30GB - Red 1 In StocK

[lVlasterchief]

They just added the Zune prize today? Sweet. So there IS hope for 360s to come back in stock.

[steelsmack]

If it were just a case, how could it be a 30GB case? It's the Zune. I ordered one, it better be a Zune.

[hellmasterx]

finally, atfer 4 and a half months i have my zune!
Good luck every body!

[Sockey]

Ok, I'm confused.

If anyone remembers there are (still are?) 3 types of headsets on the LSC site.
-USB Gaming Headphones
-Bluetooth Single Ear
-Standard Ear Buds

At some time or another I ordered all three pairs.

Awhile back (one month ish) I got three USB Gaming Headsets. Later (2 weeks ago) I got some Sony Stereo Headphones ( I assumed these were the earbuds). Today I got two Coby Stereo Headphones (like the Sony ones except bigger).

Anyway, I am wondering why I got two different kinds of earbuds but never got the bluetooth. One possibility is that they substituted the bluetooth headphones with a different kind of stereo headphones. I'm not complaining, just wondering what is going on. Anybody else get these mystery headphones today?

[neverletthem]

The Zune prize looks like a bag, and when you click on it, it says:

For carrying your Zune and Zune accessories on the go. Includes:
main compartment
zipped front pocket
2 mesh side pockets
draw string closure


So, I'm not sure. I'd say it's a zune, but, you never know....

[N3UROP0D]

Back around July of last year, I ordered several items. Two vistas, XBL Arcade Unplugged, a headset, and some headphones. I only picked the headphones because after ordering the other stuff I didn't have enough points for anything better. I never received any of those items.

But today I got the headphones in the mail. Thanks, Live Club.

[HighlightShow]

I randomly received a LifeChat headset that I ordered way back in July of last year, weird...

[Utahsfinest]

This is sad I haven't gotten anything in the last 2 weeks not a zune or anything until today and I got some Coby Headphones which I never ordered.

[Utahsfinest]

Also I've noticed most of the people recieveing their prizes (The Bigger prizes like zunes ,keyboards.) ordered in december at the latest not in july or august when most people were playing and ordered.

[CaWris]

Received Rock Band today. Ordered 3/14

[bugsomeoneelse]

HAHA at you guys spending 20,000 for a little bag.

[yalp]

i know we all hate writing in to live search.. but has anyone written them about the zune bag? can it really be a worthless bag that's worth 20k? id have to be crazy to believe that?

[DemonicArc]

To all the people that lost hope, don't, after 9 months waiting, no you didn't read that wrong, NINE MONTHS! i got a set of earphones, set of usb drives, a T-Shirt and a laptop tote... which strangely had a note attached saying "Thank you for Beta-testing windows live Messenger" but still, i did get a rather large amount of prizes that i ordered with two of the three of my accounts, if i get the Zune and Flight Simulator X, i will have gotten all the prizes.

which is strange because four weeks ago i contacted them, and they said they inspected my account and due to suspicious activity i have been denied prizes and am not allowed to make any more inquiries or something like that, so im not sure why i got all those prizes in the last three days.

anyway, that's just how it is.

btw, not nuked or botted, clean accounts.

[conchopearl]

The Zune prize looks like a bag, and when you click on it, it says: For carrying your Zune and Zune accessories on the go. Includes:

So, I'm not sure. I'd say it's a zune, but, you never know....

You forgot to add this part of the description. "MS ZUNE 30GB - Red"

[steelsmack]

You forgot to add this part of the description. "MS ZUNE 30GB - Red"
Exactly! I mean, I don't want anyone to jump on it and order it just so mine actually goes out in a reasonable amount of time, but seriously, why would the title be "MS Zune 30GB - Red" if it weren't a 30GB Zune?

[Cedrock15]

got my windows entertainment 7000 wireless keyboard/mouse combo on tuesday. Very nice combo, and the keyboard has a 30 foot range....now all i need is a tv that i can use 30 feet away

[Mitwang]

Just got one of those Windows Messenger Totes in the mail today - ordered July 11th of 07'.

This is the third prize I've gotten in the past 30 days or so, all of them were ordered over 9 months ago.

Edit: Oh sweet, just found an old account that I had 20k on - ordered one of those new Zunes.

[N3UROP0D]

Interesting, the fact that many people are getting stuff from almost a year ago gives me some hope.

[steelsmack]

HAHA at you guys spending 20,000 for a little bag.
Look at the "bag" now. I can't blame you for your skepiticism.

They updated the main picture and description of the Zune, but when you click on the picture it shows the right description with the bag picture. At least it gives me peace of mind that my order was actually for a Zune.

My brother, who turned me on to LSC, has been getting prizes all along, some had been delayed a little, but he's gotten all of them. He had a Flight Sim take about 3 months, but he just got a copy of Vista and it only took around 4 weeks to get to him. My first purchase was a couple of "common" 360 controllers, it's been 9 weeks and I haven't seen them yet. Here's to hoping. I've sinced ordered the red Zune, Flight Sim X and the vx-6000 life cam. Never have I used bots, although I did use some of the helper sites, I never fully relied on them, just used them as helpers.

[jmichaelburks]

Bag moved to Zune Case new headphones with the earbuds as well

[Miranda]

They updated the Zune info. Now it says:

MS ZUNE 30GB - Red
30 GB. Holds up to 7,500 songs, or 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video
Beautiful color screen
Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing
Recorded TV or movies to go
Built-in FM radio
www.zune.com (http://www.zune.com/) for more information.

[Bioshocked360]

They replaced the picture for the leather case for the zune with a picture of the red bag.

[Gentay]

They added some Zune Premium Earplugs for 2800 points.

edit: So no one thinks that I'm a noob, the earplugs are now under the red bag labeled as "Zune Accessories".

[lakers310]

im barely starting on this site. which game gives the most tickets?

[Bioshocked360]

im barely starting on this site. which game gives the most tickets?
Flexicon gives you 25 points per game.

[BluesCluesMama]

Woot! They finally updated their prizes and I redeemed the zune backpack and leather case that I'm going to give to my husband. I also redeemed a video game, then gave the rest to The March of Dimes. I don't have the gumption to play this crap anymore. Their prizes suck most of the time and I get bored too easy to get up to the good prizes.

[rockinaway247]

Wow, I feel bad. I just sold my Kameo that I won from this for $.99 on ebay. -_-

[SuperSonic128]

You should never email them. Especially about a conformation email. I never got one with any of my orders. Well... I did get one for Rock Band. After it was already at my house. >_>

[BluesCluesMama]

Are the smaller prizes sent faster than the bigger prizes at the very least?

[WarriorBlake]

Are the smaller prizes sent faster than the bigger prizes at the very least?

To what I have seen, it has a high possibility.

[neverletthem]

Hi Guys

I redeemed 30K tickets for the DVD Camcorder 2 days ago and it has shown up in the REDEMPTION HISTORY, however they never sent me a confirmation email.

They replied to my first email stating there were no records of the redemption under the homtail account i used. I replied back stating it has shown up in the redemption history.

Low and behold their next reply to me was the message stating i may have cheated.

WHICH I NEVER DID

SO I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT LIVE SEARCH CLUB IS A MAJOR SCAM


Of course the sites a scam......tell that to my 360.......

Anyways, the #1 rule with LSC, is NEVER EMAIL THEM UNTIL YOUR 12 WEEKS ARE OVER!!!!! Once that is over, go ahead and email them. They will prob. not label you as a cheater then.

[WarriorBlake]

I agree with SuperSonic128. Any to all e-mails sent to them have an extremely high rate of "cheater" responses.

[jtokchain5]

guys this isnt a zune lol, its a zune case. i mean since they put that up then that means they will most likely put it back up. LSC should seriously put up forums or something to let everyone know wuts happening around the site and not make us wonder.

[Utahsfinest]

Are the smaller prizes sent faster than the bigger prizes at the very least?
More than likely less because #1 they probably have tons in stock
and
#2 everyone is going for a 20,000+ ticket prize

[Mad Scientist]

The Where In the World Is Matt Lauer game is my recent favorite. It's only 20 tickets vs. Flexicon's 25 per game, but it's just 4 multiple choice questions. Most are very easy, so the points accumulate faster than in any other game for me (and with less clicking).

I'm up to ~28,400 tickets and and debating between accumulating 35k+ in case 360s restock or taking a Zune or Vista. I'm primarily a Mac user (making a Zune less valuable), already have XP on my Mac, and have no 360 (yet) to make Rock Band worthwhile, so I've been unmotivated to play lately...
I know Vista also had a price drop at retail over the winter, so I keep hoping for a drop on LSC, too.
-Eric

[BluesCluesMama]

I hope that my prizes do come within 12 weeks because my husband's birthday is at the end of July and I really like to be able to give the stuff I won to him for his birthday. To be safe though, I will think of another idea for his birthday, I have a while to think of something else good and I have a giftcard coming from prizerebel for amazon. If by two or three weeks before his bday they aren't here I'll order him something else and just use them for a different holiday.

[grndoom]

So I played the Matt Lauer game and I like it a lot too now. Its a relatively low stress/click game; especially since they let you search right in the window, they want you to win. Got a lot more coins from this game with less effort than I put into chicktionary.

[jtokchain5]

ok i just noticed they put up the 30gb zune lol.

[Pyramid_Party]

Im still waiting on a prize ordered weeks ago. I think we should report these bastards to the BBB or something.

[killer9]

just ordered rockband heres hoping it comes never got a confirm email

[Dual45s]

Yeah, I ripped that game up when it came out...now I'm out of puzzles and they haven't made more in weeks.

[Dragonshadow]

Hahahahaha, I ordered a headset on a secondary account.

Waited 12 weeks.

Bitched at them.

3 days later 3 Lifechat LX-3000 headsets were delivered. Shortly after that a sport headset was delivered.

Those 3 and the sports headset were all ordered on a ZEROED OUT ACCOUNT!!!!

I ordered them early last year!

And when I mailed them before the 12 weeks were up, they sent an email saying I was a cheater lol. And I still got the headsets.


This headset rocks.

[yalp]

i actually have two accounts... can i still use the second account as long as i dont order the same stuff to my address?

[Tricky]

i actually have two accounts... can i still use the second account as long as i dont order the same stuff to my address?


Yes you can use the same address. If you want to order more than one of the same item, you could have it sent to a relatives address.

[Utahsfinest]

Im still waiting on a prize ordered weeks ago. I think we should report these bastards to the BBB or something.
you do realize it takes 8-12 weeks atleast.

[Utahsfinest]

can u teach us how to bitch at them

because obviously the way we bitch doesn't seem to work
they seem to accuse all of us of cheating
By the way I've noticed everyone receiving there zunes ordered them in december and January

[neverletthem]

can u teach us how to bitch at them

because obviously the way we bitch doesn't seem to work

Don't bitch till 12 weeks are over, only correct way to bitch.

[WarriorBlake]

Don't bitch till 12 weeks are over, only correct way to bitch.

The best advice is to not say anything and wait. You will eventually get your prize.

[neverletthem]

The best advice is to not say anything and wait. You will eventually get your prize.

Very, very true.

[DarkKenpachi]

The best advice is to not say anything and wait. You will eventually get your prize.

I agree with this completely. I though I did wait the whole 12 weeks before I complained about not getting my 360 and still nothing. But oh well like I have said so many a time before. It is like a crap shoot. But good luck and I hope you get your prizes

[Sockey]

Just got my laptop tote. Apparently its the same thing they gave away to Windows Live Messenger beta testers. Anybody else get it? Anyone know if its worth anything? It cost 4000-6000 or so points when they had it in stock (for comparison, Vista Ultimate was 6000) which seems like quite a lot for an ordinary bag.

[yalp]

has anyone ordered the zune premium earplugs? does anyone know if they are good?

[jtokchain5]

btw, i have LSC's phone # i believe. when my webcam came in the mail, under the LSC address it shows the phone #. if anyone noticed something like this, let me know.

[Bravelionheart]

Woo, just ordered the Zune case.

[shaveice]

Very, very true.

Pft. I emailed and spammed them for months about my Zune, still got it. I played legit, no bots (for that account at least :))

[Malachi]

Just happened to check one of my old LSC accounts and they refunded 20K points back into my account. I had originally ordered a Zune last summer and never got it...Cool thing is that I ordered a Zune again and got the confirmation email. Hope it comes in this time.

[shaveice]

did they accuse you of cheating in one of their email responses?

never

[xsouthparkx]

never
What did they say in their e-mail responses to you?

[conchopearl]

Juts got a Visor Hat.
It came by UPS.
Ordered it on 4/3/08

That is the fastest I have got anything from LSC

[Utahsfinest]

alot of people are having good luck with the more expensive prizes I haven't gotten alot of the prizes I ordered yet and i'm beginning to think I won't because they seem to ship the sams items at the same time.

[Frog Ribs]

Day 73. No Xbox 360 yet.

And since it sounds like the shipping notification will come too late to be of any use, every day the anticipation builds, until I get home and realize I've got to wait another day.

[WarriorBlake]

Keep holding on there Frog Ribs! I'm feeling the same thing. My mom said a package came for me...but it turned out it was some computer tools I ordered. Since we ordered one day apart, once one of us gets theirs, it shouldn't be too long till the other gets theirs.

[stevenroolz]

got the keyboard last week. that makes everything i ordered received

[stevenroolz]

i dont know if anyone has tried, but the ps3 is compatible with the wireless mouse and keyboard. plug and play

[Frog Ribs]

Yeah. Based on the people who posted here, it looks like the last order cut-off was around the first week of February, and covered at least 6 weeks worth of orders. We ordered a little over a week later. (Rats...if only we had racked up those points a little bit faster.)

And didn't LSC remove the 360 by the end of February? There couldn't have been that many orders in those 2-3 weeks. I still have hope that it'll show up in the next 2 weeks.

[DarkKenpachi]

frog ribs and warriorblake. I really hope you guys get your 360's.

hell i hope they send me mine from way back in october. but oh well if they ever do i will donate the rest of my tickets to charity like i said before.

[chimpian]

the best advice i can give is try to forget you ordered it lol.

then when/if it finally comes it will be like a christmas present that came late.

i broke down and im amassing more points on another account. im gonna get a zune and/or the camcorder.

[Gentay]

I just have to post this, on april 26th of this year, I ordered the brown zune leather case, and today, the 30th of April, I received said case, and it came USPS. And its desc. mentions something about a clip, there was no clip.

I just wished it would of been my Zune.

that is insanely cool
...or a douche move on lsc part..."ok ok lets send him the case now hahahaha, hold out on the zune itself for at least another month"


i hope you get your zune soon. :)

[Mitwang]

Just got a pack of (3) Zune Cases in the mail today. One USPS envelope, and I ordered them on a nuked account in November. They are for the 30gb zune.

I'll upload pics if I can find my camera-

Oddly enough, I got the shipping notification email about 20 minutes after it showed up at my door.

Edit: Pics-

[Utahsfinest]

got the keyboard last week. that makes everything i ordered received
I Still haven't got my zune of keyboard but since I ordered in august and everyone who has recieved those items ordered in december or later. also I lost one of my accounts that I ordered stuff on so I don't know if it got refunded.

[Soujiro_Seta]

I finally got my messenger bag that I ordered way back in July. It was a real nice surprise. I gave up any hope I would eve get it a long time ago lol. Maybe my vista will show up one day too :)

[stevenroolz]

I Still haven't got my zune of keyboard but since I ordered in august and everyone who has recieved those items ordered in december or later. also I lost one of my accounts that I ordered stuff on so I don't know if it got refunded.

i ordered the keyboard in mid January

[Mitwang]

In addition to the three Zune cases I got yesterday (see above), I just got another one in the mail today.

[Mr.collection]

I ordered the keyboard in Nov and still haven't got it.

I will trade some AMC movie tickets for the zune stuff. I have 10 tickets and no AMC theaters.

[Utahsfinest]

I ordered the keyboard in Nov and still haven't got it.

same thing happend to me thhere is one 40 miles away but with the gas prices it isn't worth it.

[stevenroolz]

ordered another wireless headset today

[Access_Denied]

My cousin got a Zune Case Today from back in July.

[xsouthparkx]

What the heck I want my Zune badly.. I had my third dream about it last night. But yeah I was walking and I saw a Zune (pink) [Why a pink one? I don't know...] and I was messing around with it, then dropped it and it broke... What does this dream mean? I'll get it but it'll be broken within days or it'll be DOA? Aww I'm sad now.

[WarriorBlake]

This is just a theory, but it seems like they are on a shipping "cycle". Right now they're sending out cases, Then they'll send something else, etc. Can anyone vouch for this?

[kcarr]

just to say got a zune case like everyone else today off a random account

BTW if anyone participated in the windows feedback program i just got my free windows vista ultimate today (never got the 2 i ordered from LSC)

[Mitwang]

Just got a shipping email for something, it's probably another Zune case.

Edit-
Wonderful, Zune Case #5 came today. Now if only I could get the 5 Zunes that were supposed to accompany them.

This last one was ordered on July 3rd on a zeroed account so I guess it's a little promising in terms of receiving other prizes.

[Utahsfinest]

they are pathetic

10 co workers redeemed for a zune on same day 4 months ago but only 1 recieved their zune.

what does that say about this scam ?

I think your coworkers will probably never recieve there zune they probably said that your co workers cheated and didn't send the zunes I haven't got a zune and all of microsofts stuff is made in china better check for lead.

[kensterdotnet]

you lucky SOB

ALL THAT LEAD IS GETTIN TO OUR HEAD

HOW DID YOU GET SO MANY PRIZES USING BOTS, WHILE MY CO-WORKERS SPENT 3 MONTHS TO GET 20,000 tickets ?????????????? What are you talking about?

[life.exe]

Got a case today aswell. Nice case. Im starting to think I should have ordered more stuff. I figured I wasnt going to get anything and just stopped completely.

[jtokchain5]

i still didnt receive my other webcam. maybe ill get it in like another month. :(

[Frog Ribs]

11 weeks since ordering an Xbox 360. No shipping notification, account zeroing, or return of points. Saw a couple of Fed Ex trucks in the neighborhood today, but nothing for me.

[WarriorBlake]

11 weeks since ordering an Xbox 360. No shipping notification, account zeroing, or return of points. Saw a couple of Fed Ex trucks in the neighborhood today, but nothing for me.

One day when I was driving to school, I saw a Fed-Ex truck go by me. I was praying that it would be the truck that held my 360, but alas no. But i'm still anticipating that my 360 wil come;)

[Frog Ribs]

did you recieve an email confirmation with the confirmation number on it right after you redeemed your points ?

Oh, yeah. That came right away. I'm just playing the waiting game now.

And WarriorBlake, I've passed Fed Ex trucks on my way home, nowhere near my neighborhood, and wondered if they were the truck. :lol:

And I have no idea if I'm going to find a box or a "delivery attempted" slip when it finally comes. I think I've seen both have happened to people earlier in the thread.

[Access_Denied]

i never recieved a confirmation email for my DVD Camcorder redemption, but it shows in my redemption history.

i emailed the slime balls and was told they couldn't find any trace of the redemption.

i replied to them with my password, login and address while stating that it has shown up in the redemption history. then they replied with an email accusing me of cheating

what scumbags

i took 2 months to get 30,000 tickets

SO I BASICALLY GOT SCAMMED

This is why it has been said MANY times to not email them until the 12 weeks are up.

[Frog Ribs]

This is why it has been said MANY times to not email them until the 12 weeks are up.

So Blake, if nothing happens this week, are you gonna e-mail LSC? I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna sit tight and wait.

[WarriorBlake]

So Blake, if nothing happens this week, are you gonna e-mail LSC? I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna sit tight and wait.
No e-mailing for me. I dont want to risk losing my 360. LOL I actually already bought some games for it.

BTW, the person who asked about the 360 being a Flacon unit, does that include the Arcarde unplugged 360s or just the premium?

[decrot]

No e-mailing for me. I dont want to risk losing my 360. LOL I actually already bought some games for it.

wow, that is a bold move to buy games for the 360 already

[Frog Ribs]

No e-mailing for me. I dont want to risk losing my 360. LOL I actually already bought some games for it.

wow, that is a bold move to buy games for the 360 already

Yeah, I've picked up 4 games from yourfree360games.com, with 1 more to order. I've also bought 3 other games, and 2 original Xbox games (Halo, Halo 2).

[Linkhero1]

Almost have enough for a 360. I'm still waiting for them to put it back up. So far I got a Blutooth Keyboard, A Zune, All the 360 games they have up, and a couple of small items. It took me 3 months to reach 25k.

[Utahsfinest]

I wonder how long intil they start shipping a second time around then maybe I will get some more stuff and you guys will get your 360s

[WarriorBlake]

I wonder how long until they start shipping a second time around then maybe I will get some more stuff and you guys will get your 360s

Not sure when they will, but we will definetly let everyone know when!

But with me getting 360 games, I got a pretty good deal on two games.
I got halo 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog for 12.50 each.

[cereal_killerxx]

Is it against the policy of the website to use an anagram solver? Just want to know so I don't get kicked out...

[Bioshocked360]

Has anyone recieved their controllers lately?

[WarriorBlake]

Is it against the policy of the website to use an anagram solver? Just want to know so I don't get kicked out...

People have used the website www.anagramssolved.com any they got their prizes. I did the same. According to the TOS, you cant use bots, but do not mention sites.

[WarriorBlake]

It seems i'm the only one who thinks so, but Flexicon to me is sometimes pretty difficult. I HAVE to rely on either anagramssolved.com or using Google to find the answers. The Anagrams like Chicktionary, Spelling Bee and Word Slugger are simple though.

[Miranda]

Flexicon is easy. If a clue has a hint, use it... it helps. You still get the same amount of points for completing the entire puzzle whether you use hints or not. The answer is usually somewhere in the first few search results when you click to get a hint.

After you do enough puzzles, you start to get all of the stupid puns they use as clues sometimes. At least for me.

Using hints helps for other games too, like Crosswire. You can beat the game faster with hints than just trying out every answer.

[ddrlenz]

I'm going to try and use Matt Lauer to score me a Zune! lol

I'm going to try and use Matt Lauer to score me a Zune! lol
there is only 110 puzzles so 2200 tickets good luck with that.

[fhetw]

Like some other people, I received a random Zune case today. Ordered 7/10/07, arrived 5/6/08. I had completely forgotten about this.

wow almost a whole year lol.

[CO_mommy]

Of course the sites a scam......tell that to my 360.......

Anyways, the #1 rule with LSC, is NEVER EMAIL THEM UNTIL YOUR 12 WEEKS ARE OVER!!!!! Once that is over, go ahead and email them. They will prob. not label you as a cheater then.

I say just don't email them at all. I wrote to them after the 12 weeks and they still accused me of cheating. I don't think they really want to be bothered. lol

[CO_mommy]

I know Vista also had a price drop at retail over the winter, so I keep hoping for a drop on LSC, too.
-Eric

I doubt they'll drop. Rock Band is actually higher on LSC than in stores. They originally started off a little higher and raised it to an almost ripoff amount. It's still free so I went for it. I just hope it comes. I'm still waiting on something from back in Dec.

[erehwon]

Does anyone think they're going to bring back the 360? I'm debating on saving for that or going for the zune.

[MuzykMann]

Does anyone think they're going to bring back the 360? I'm debating on saving for that or going for the zune.

I'm not sure if they'll bring it back or not, but the speed (or lack thereof) with which they update the site convinced me to order the zune last week. I'm not die-hard, 1000 tickets a day player, so it took me a couple months of a couple dozen flexicons a day in downtime at work to save up for the zune, but I figure that I oughta order the Zune while it's there, then just start saving up again in case they do bring back the 360. *shrug* That was my thinking anyway.

[Frog Ribs]

Tomorrow makes 12 weeks since I ordered an Xbox 360. Still nothing. :(

Now I'm hoping it shows up next Wednesday. That way I get it on my birthday. :)

Prize List All Gone Except Frequent Flyer Miles

Is Lsc Shutting Down Soon ?


They do that often. Sometimes they are adding or taking away from it and sometimes nothing changes :)

[neverletthem]

They do that often. Sometimes they are adding or taking away from it and sometimes nothing changes :)

That's true. Just noticed too. Don't know what to spend my 19,904 tickets on >_>. Prob get those Zune headphones, my left iPod headphone is all sound like static now.

[neverletthem]

I'm thinking there's a new game up:


MCF Prime Suspects (http://club.live.com/mcf_prime_suspects.aspx)
The Queen's Hope Diamond has been stolen! It's up to you to search for clues, find the offending culprit, and recover the stolen gem in Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects (TM).Gonna try it now and see what it's like.

EDIT: Link takes you back to LSC's homepage. Guess they are updating the site now.
EDIT2: Link works now, playing.

[xsouthparkx]

Humm, that sounds pretty gay. Not only that, but super gay. Tee hee hee.

[neverletthem]

Eh, the game is an EASY 20 tickets. But I can't find the damn Pipe Wrench in "Mingo's Playhouse". Anybody who's played it know where it is?

EDIT: To describe what the game is like, you have to answer questions relating to something, then find the answer in the picture. Kinda like a find-it, plus, if you click the "Get a Hint", the answer is usually the first search result.

[Miranda]

The Prime Suspects game has been up for about a week or two now. I maxed out the points available for it already, so I can't check to see what the levels look like anymore, but if you upload a screenshot of Mingo's Playhouse, I can circle where the pipe wrench is.

EDIT: I forgot you can play stuff without logging in. Here's a screenshot with the pipe wrench circled in blue:

how long does it typically take for them to add the prizes back? I'm about 3 weeks playtime into Rockband, and will be pissed if it isn't available anymore.

[Nathan_Sama]

Omg Where Did All The Prizes Go?!?!?

[jtokchain5]

so is there anything new on LSC? i havent been on that site for like a week.

[Frog Ribs]

Augh! I've seen at least 2 Fed Ex trucks drive by 5 times so far today. And it's just past noon.

I want my 360!

Sorry to say they do tend to take their own time in getting it all together.
Being it is the weekend there is no telling when.
Just keep playing while you wait and your points will keep adding up too :)

[Dual45s]

For Prime Suspects if you're using Firefox (may work in IE, but not sure), just hit TAB several times and it will give an outline box around all the clickable items on the page. It shows were to click and what items will be used as answers, makes things go pretty quick.

That's pretty cool. I wish I had known about that when I played it. The game was still pretty easy even without knowing that - only takes about a minute once you know the answers and where things are. But that tab trick makes it even easier!

[jtokchain5]

does any1 know wut happened to the prizes? all i see are the frequent flyer miles.

btw miranda, y do u have a phone # in ur quote? just wondering...

[lVlasterchief]

All I see are Miles too. This has happened a couple times before, but not as long as this. The prizes usually got put back up like the day after it only showed Miles.

[Miranda]

Yeah, it's been flyer miles all weekend. I've never seen it take this long to put the other prizes back. Maybe they're trying to catch up on their backlogs of orders.

Yes, that's a phone number. I explained it here (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4243312#post4243312).

Back to LSC... I should have enough points for a Zune in about four days. I hope there aren't any point increases if they put the prizes back. They also need more prizes in the 6000 to under 20000 range. I'm still hoping they'll put up stuff like Live Gold subscriptions and Points Cards. Then they could just send out redemption codes for those instead of having to ship anything.

[steelsmack]

LSC IS ABOUT FILE BANKRUPTCY


Source??? I'm guessing little to none. I did a little googling and found nothing but hearsay on forums like this one. Nothing linked to actual articles, and you'd think something like THAT would have a news article or 2 on google news, yet it doesn't.

All the prizes are back. Nothing new, nothing removed.

Don't pay attention to him, I've been reading this thread, and haven't posted in it much, but all the things I read from that guy is just him bitching about his "coworkers" not getting their prizes after playing "legitimately". Oh, and then he also insults the integrity of LSC calling them con-artists, a scam, etc.

And good thing prizes are back, only need 4000 more tickets for a zune:)

[neverletthem]

So, I'm at 20,016 tickets. I don't know if I should get the Zune, or just save up for the camcorder. It will probably be the second choice, but, who knows.

[grndoom]

I've been playing Matt Lauer for a while today, and recently, I noticed that the game would send me repeats of puzzles I've already completed today, regardless of whether I got 100% or not on it the 1st time through them. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm not complaining, because I still get the 20 tickets, but I just thought it was strange.

Yeah, that happened to me before I maxed out the puzzles. Occasionally I would play a game and then the next one was the exact same puzzle. Hope they don't see that as cheating or something:roll:

That sucks. Glad I finished all the puzzles when they were still 20 pts.

For what it's worth, I just emailed LSC about the status of my Roomba a whole 2 weeks earlier than the 12 week waiting period. I was not accused of cheating, just got what appeared to be 2 standard emails - one mostly saying "Keep your pants on and wait another two weeks!", the other saying the Roomba was back in stock and will be shipping in the next three weeks.

Sweet. Glad to hear that. Hopefully it will be the same with the 360s!

[SlammedNiss]

after seeing they added the 360 to the lineup, I considered giving up on Rock Band bundle and going for the 360 instead. That way, I could step up to the newer 175w, quieter 360 w/ HDMI.

But, after seeing the difficulty others have had in even getting their 360, I think I'll just stick with Rock Band.

Has anybody even got the 360?

[Frog Ribs]

Yeah, there's people in this thread who got a 360...there's even been photo proof.

It wasn't availble late last year/early this year, then it was back for a while, and it's been gone from late February until today.

What I figure is that, they had a pile of them, people who ordered through early February received them, and WarriorBlake and I ordered too late--they had already exhausted their supply. Now that they're back in stock, we should be at the top of the list when they start shipping them out.

[Mooey]

This is just a xbox 360 not a xbox 360 elite, correct?

[Mister8bal]

Has anyone received a 360 controller lately... in the past month?

[Mister8bal]

HELL YES! X360 is back! But there's no pic.. why?

Bad programming by the LSC team lately. First they used the bag as the zune picture and now they put the wrong address for the XBOX 360 picture.

Here's a good question for those that have been accused of cheating using macros, bots, etc. but didn't.

Did you use anagrammer or anagramssolved? How many tickets did you accumulate in a day? I've been trying my darndest to get 1000 points a day, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I use anagrammer.com for chicktionary and can type pretty quick. Do I need to slow it down some so they dont accuse me of cheating?

[orbit18]

how hard would it be to get 20k points for vista?

[Frog Ribs]

It's probably not too hard to a make run at Vista.

I had around 8600 when I decided to go for a 360.

It took me 63 days, or 53 days that I actually earned points on to get to 35K. I averaged 420 points a day (499 if you only count days with points). (Yes, I kept a spreadsheet. It helped me focus.)

And that was before all these new games were added. Also, since each game seems to get new puzzles somewhat regularly, that means that there's even more points to earn.

I "successfully redeemed" a XBOX 360 yesterday when it was up.... or at least LSC took away 35000 tickets away from my account. I haven't received a confirmation email from them, but it shows up in my account's redemption history.

it was sometime in Dec. It actually was for the xbox bundle so hopefully he will get his games with that too.

Been awhile since I've been here, just thought I'd give an update.

In October of last year, I ordered the x360 bundle (this was the time they first made it possible to acheive 35000 tickets), it came in a few weeks later minus the games and xbox live gold. A couple months later the 3 games from the bundle arrived along with an appology letter for the wait, still no xbox live though.

I made another order on a different account for abunch of random stuff (17000 tickets worth) a few weeks after the x360 arrived. I figured I already got a 360, no use in getting another so I cashed out my stock of tickets. This stuff never showed up, never recieved a email, confirmations, etc, nothing.

Today I arrive home and have a package waiting for me at the ups place. I thought it might be all this stuff I ordered, but it turns out instead, they shipped me another xbox 360 minus the bundled games.

So now I have an extra x360 pro bundle here :lol: Thanks Live Search Club :lol:

Actually I was one of the first to have enough points for it but I never got anything.(it also felt good to be in the top 10 overall :D) I am just kinda excited to see it coming. I won't get that happy though until it arrives in my house. Once it does I will make my donation to charity like I said I would.

Good luck Warriorblake I hope your comes

Did anyone else get tickets put back into their account? I had a little over tickets 20,000 tickets put into my account. I ordered a Zune last year and the refunded my points sometimes last year. I ordered and received Rock Band Special Edition, Xbox 360 Wireless Controller and a Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 Web Camera. I ordered but did not receive yet a Zune Backpack and Zoo Tycoon 2: Zookeeper . I should only have around 6,000 in my account but I log in today and see that I have 27,204 tickets.

[bsloss16]

I just got confirmation of shipping emails for my controller and wireless keyboard mouse combo that i ordered in feb. Now time to start playing again so i can get a zune.

[Dual45s]

You know...you try to be a decent human being and stay off the internet for a day or so while cleaning up the damn yard your wife keeps harping on you about....and the 360 has come and went. I have the points too. GAH! Damn you woman!

I just got 2500 tickets put back in my account, they cancelled one of my 2 controllers that I ordered in Feb. I didn't get an email saying they cancelled it, but I look in my profile and only one controller is listed as "ordered". I haven't received either controller yet. My guess is they are in a bit of trouble with either lawsuits or threats of them anyway, and finally started taking action. MS is probably cleaning up the mess that was created, and in that mess is probably some bad records of who got what, and those that they aren't sure got their stuff probably are going to end up with multiples of some of it...

[SuperSonic128]

I ordered a VX 6000 on 4/14 that still hasn't arrived yet too... At least I have hope that they are still going to send it. :) I'm also working Up point's for either a Zune or a 360... >_>

Lol... that had really pissed me off when the 360 went off the prize list like the day before I could get enough... @_@

[Frog Ribs]

While I'm glad to see people who got ignored before getting their prizes now, every duplicate 360 that gets sent out means it'll be that much longer before I get mine. :-(

Yeah, yeah, I know...:-({|=

I think anyone who got stuff, but never got any kind of shipping confirmation for it might be getting multiples. It'd be sweet if everyone can get two of what they ordered. :) This new company that's handling fulfillment now seems to be better than Incentive Logic in that they actually send you a shipping notice before you get your stuff. :-P

Prizes I'm waiting on are a Roomba (ordered in late Feb) and a camcorder (ordered in mid April).

They also never shipped me a copy of Vista Ultimate and a 360 controller (both ordered in June last year), but that account got zeroed, so I'm not expecting either of those prizes. It'd be a nice surprise if they actually show up though.

Congrats to the lucky ones who got or are getting two 360s!

i finally got my zune. yesterday. it says academic edition on it. its white uhm imtyping with 1 hand so ill post pic later. funny thing is that i threatened them with a lawsuit early april... maybe it worked?

[steelsmack]

That was probably the worst decision M$ has ever made. It looks like the fixed the glitch now though...

[DarkKenpachi]

Questions about the 360's are they sending Falcon's out and if the package weighs 14.1 pounds is that just the plain 360 or the bundle?

[decrot]

got a call saying i got a package waiting at home.

according to ups my controller nor our xbox has been delivered yet. so it can quite possibly be that zune im hoping for, unless they shipped me a second copy of vista. if it is the zune we are getting bombarded with prizes from LSC in one week.

[mrcheapo11]

Just ordered my Zune that took about 3 weeks to save up for. For the order details it is listed as "in stock", and with all of you guys getting prizes now, I am really excited that it could come sooner rather than later :)

[jtokchain5]

i still didnt get my other webcam, any1 know y? both of my webcams were ordered on the same day...check my sig for more info. please reply back whoever knows.

I did get a 2nd 360 and wireless controller today. This one was manufactured this year, unlike the first one I got which was manufactured in 2006. It is just the 360, no bundle. I'm still happy though! :applause:

[rockinaway247]

IS INCENTIVE LOGIC STILL THE PROCESSOR ?
calm down

[CO_mommy]

IS INCENTIVE LOGIC STILL THE PROCESSOR ?
The emails I got were not from Incentive Logic. They were from livesearch@arvatousa.com. I got the shipping confirmations before the package. It's a nice change.

[decrot]

I think microsoft is doing it themselves. when i got my zune today it said microsoft on the ups label and it shipped from CA. hopefully they got rid of IL. I think I might be willing to play again.

[orbit18]

The most points you can get for Chicktionary at the moment is 16,980. Spelling Bee and Word Slugger are identical to Chicktionary, so there's more tickets to be had there.


thats good cause chick is easy with anagram solver

[shaveice]

I got shipping confirmations a day or two late (can't remember).

Does the Lifecam 3000 have 2 cameras or what?

[orbit18]

how many points do you guys earn a day on average?

[SlammedNiss]

how many points do you guys earn a day on average?

1000/day for the most part. There might be a day or two where I wasn't able to get all points, but for the most part, 1000/day.

[YouDummy]

What are the maximum tickets for word slugger ?http://club.live.com/leaderboard.aspx

I am soo jealous but i can't be because my 360 is coming tomorrow. :whee: :whee: :whee:

[chimpian]

anyone get any of the vx6000 webcams, controllers or blue tooth keyboards recently....i am waiting on some stuff
im hoping it comes eventually.

ALSO i just redeemed my points for a zune today :)
anyone else cash out for it recently?

[r1sky]

im about to cash out on a zune. only 3500 points to go.

[Frog Ribs]

Since things are apparently being sent by UPS now, is there a signature requirement for the big prizes, or are they just leaving the Xbox 360s on the doorstep?

Got a confirmation email that my blue tooth keyboard has been shipped by UPS.
Delivery date 5/19.

[chimpian]

cool.

ive got my fingers crossed :)

[steelsmack]

Since things are apparently being sent by UPS now, is there a signature requirement for the big prizes, or are they just leaving the Xbox 360s on the doorstep?It's probably like anything else with UPS, driver discretion. Usually, if you're in a fairly crime free area, they'll leave stuff at your door, if you're in a higher risk area, they'll require a signature. I've lived at places that UPS would refuse to leave stuff without someone home and places that would leave stuff at the door with no signs of anyone home.

[Scar v2]

I think everything large needs to be signed for. my Zune that came yesterday said Signature required on the label

[CO_mommy]

I had to sign for both the 360 AND the wireless controller. The boxes said signature required on both.

[steelsmack]

And I'm not saying everyone won't have to sign, I've just had stuff that says "signature required" dropped off at my door while living in very low crime rate areas. As far as I know it is up to driver discretion. I could be VERY wrong though...

It might be up to driver discretion. We also live in a very low crime area and our driver always gets a signature if it says signature required. When we lived in AZ, the driver would leave signature required items at our door, but that was a long time ago. Things could be different now. I just know that I had to sign for the controller with UPS (because it was required) and I didn't have to sign for it before through FedEx. They may be cracking down on things. Who knows.

[steelsmack]

Sweet, just got shipping confirmation on a VX-3000 lifecam. I've ordered 7 or 8 things, mostly smaller items with a Zune mixed in, and this is the first thing I've gotten confirmation on, woohoo! It says it is going to get to me on the 21st, but it's already at the hub closest to me, so I'm guessing I'll see it Monday. I REALLY want my controller, and this was just something I ordered because I had tickets, but hey, I'm excited.

[decrot]

So my family and I finally got all the stuff that we ordered today
5/5
Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard
Windows Vista
Microsoft Zune
Wireless Controller
Microsoft XBOX 360

[conchopearl]

Congrats decrot.

[masterofdarkness]

anyone who got zeroed get there stuff?

[DarkKenpachi]

I finally got my 360!!!!!!!!! :whee: WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok as promised I will donate my points. Karma will hook me up. maybe by blessing me with winning something from the slurpee contest. cross ya fingers kiddies

Oh yeah by the way my xbox is a falcon also :D

now the ethical question....Do I harass them for the promised games and Live subscription card?

[orbit18]

and im just starting my long journey to vista :( im only at a 1000 pts, doing 500 a day

[dmdragon]

sounds like you don't need to. If you just wait they'll send you another xbox 360 with them lol

[mikefavata]

Ok so about a year ago I had 2 accounts on there, 1 got zeroed 1 didn't.

I never recieved any of the ordered prizes from either, but I just emailed them about the non-zeroed one. Hopefully they'll send the stuff or give me the points back.

[Bioshocked360]

I got my 2nd controller yesterday!

[shaveice]

Someone confirm, can you get...:

1 of each item per household, no restrictions on amount of accounts (example, one account gets all 360 games sent to one house, while another account gets zune sent to same house)

&

Multiples of one item IF you modify your address (example, someone said he ordered multiples to his house, changing his address with numbers at the end, which made his house look like an apartment and yadda yadda).

[steelsmack]

Looks like they added a 4000 ticket intellimouse explorer. Not bad. It's kind of nice to see the 4000-20000 ticket range to have another item, that brings the total to three, with one being 4000 and one being 20000...

[UltimoRey]

Got my control yesterday, took forever. Now if i canfidn soemone to trade it to. hmm.
