A few questions:
1) Were you zeroed?
2) Did you email LSC at all?
3) Did you get a shipping notification?
4) Date that you ordered?

I got my song download the other day. It's complete and utter crap. I had to upgrade Windows Media player (I don't bother with it because I have iTunes) just so I could listen to the song because it wouldn't properly download the license. And because it's licensed I can't put it on my iPod because iTunes only converts nonlicensed wma files. suuuuuuckfest.

So would "lsclub@microsoft.com" be it? I contacted them once before, and they sent me an email with a FAQ about Live Search Club.
And would you recommend using the Feedback thing or emailing them at lsclub@microsoft.com?

Not sure if everyone knows this, but Magazines.com redeems their gift cards for cash! So, even with the point limit, you could get 995 tickets every day, and order a gift card. That's $15 a day...not bad compared to all the other prizes.
However, they don't email you the gift card code; you have to wait for the gift card to arrive by mail :(

05-31-2008, 12:01 PM
Do you guys know if this applies to magazine subscriptions?
If not (and you can get any amount to an address) you guys might want to consider using your points to order them and then cashing them in for checks here: http://www.magazines.com/ncom/gift_cert?cc_redeem=1
I will be a guinea pig and order four $25.00 gift cards. If this works I'll make $100.00, if not oh well.
Don't get $25!!! Look at how many points each costs. $15 cards are cheaper.
Also, I don't think there's a limit on these. It's limit 3 for Hardware and Software. I don't think GC's count.
Has anyone ordered Magazines.com gift cards? How long do they take to arrive? My headset took about 2 weeks to get here, so that would be my guess.
I ordered 2, so I'll let everyone know how that goes.

Fucking UPS, my Zune was supposed to be delivered Wednesday. Missed delivery due to it needs a signature, so that's OK with me. Slip they left said it would be delivered Thursday, so I wait around for him, and see the guy drive up. He parks on the other side of the street (like usual) and then he spends about 5 minutes in his truck and drives away. So, I think maybe they forgot to pack it or something, right? Yesterday (Friday) I wait around again, and this time no truck at all. I am curious as to what to do, because I know there are the 3 delivery attempts, and then you have to pick it up. I don't know if those days it was SUPPOSED to come count as an attempt or not... >_> Advice?
Calling them also seems to do no good :'(

Something like that happened to my family when we bought a new 'puter. We missed the truck, so we waited around the house all day the second day. No truck came. We called UPS, and they told us that someone marked that we had said we would "Pick up the package". So, your Zune might be sitting at your local UPS plant. Be best to call them again and see if they have it, and if they have been attempting to deliver it after the first day.

Yup, there is no limit on these gift cards:
"Each household address is limited to redeeming tickets for up to three of the same software items and three of the same hardware items. Non-software and non-hardware prizes are not limited on a per household basis. Software prizes may include Windows Vista Operating Systems and game software. Hardware prizes may include keyboards, web cameras or headsets. In the non-hardware and non-software category, prizes may include song and ringtone downloads, frequent flyer miles, clothing and wearable accessories. "
I am definitely using these gift cards to get myself a 360 or PS3...not sure which...People have said gift cards take less than 2 weeks to arrive. Hopefully I get the ones I ordered.

The last two nights when I've tried my saved favorites link or even going through google or typing the web address in directly, I end up redirected to an error page that says something about not being able to reach MSN Live. I was able to log in Thursday evening without any problems, so I'm not sure what happened.

I plan on ordering 1 every day. Sounds like a good idea...but at the same time if it doesn't work out, I'd be stuck with a bajillion magazine.com gift cards. I wouldn't mind too much though. I'd just be getting a lot of magazines...but by the time I figure out it didn't work I could've ended up with a Zune. I'll have to think about it.

If it doesn't work you can always spend another 20 days and get one. Plus it's not as if you lose out completely because you're still getting free magazines even if it doesn't work. You might be able to Ebay them as well.

People have said that the magazine.com gift cards arrive in less than 2 weeks. Others have said it takes a month. With the checks, some people said that it takes 3 days, while others have said that it takes 2 weeks.
I'd believe the 2 week estimate for the gift cards; that's about how long it took for my headset to arrive when I ordered it last December.

I've been lurking around for awhile, I was trying to save up for the dvd camcorder and it disappered so I just settled for rock band even though I have it for ps3. It's only been a week since I ordered it and I have a long wait ahead of me. I used to play flexicon all day everyday to reach the limit but since the hints are still screwed up I stopped playing. I hope everyone gets their prizes.

Dear Live Search Club Participant,
Upon further review by our Technical Support Team, your prize was cancelled as a result of placing a duplicate software or hardware order. Please note that prizes are limited to one of each hardware or software item per household address.
At this time, our Technical Support Team is being alerted to re-issue tickets for your duplicate order. Please note that this will take a few weeks to reflect when logging into your account. In addition to the re-issue of your tickets, our supplier is being notified to ship one of your duplicate orders. After the remainder of your tickets is credited to your account, you can redeem them at the prize mall found here:
https://club.live.com/get_prizes.aspx
Kind Regards,
Live Search Club Support
But...this is on my old account, and I have a new account that I've been ordering with. Will that cause conflicts? How will I order anything with the 18,000 tickets they give me back? Will they cancel the orders I made with the other account now? :( That would suck...
I do wonder if they actually will ship the Vista Ultimate though....that seems very unlikely. Maybe we'll start seeing a spree of Ultimates being received. I doubt it though.
Has anyone gotten their stuff shipped out after they got an email like this from LSC?

It came on the 16th. I waited till that monday after and I wrote them asking about the games. They said the games would be coming and I could expect Kameo, PGR3, and Halo 3 soon and that the Xbox live card was no longer included on the bundle.
I just want Halo to come soon because with the target bonanza going on, I don't wanna pass up on getting it. I just might have to buy it tomorrow and return the LSC copy to target whenever it comes. I am still on the fence about this one.
just wondering, did you get your games yet?

A few questions:
1) Were you zeroed?

3) Did you get a shipping notification?
4) Date that you ordered?
To be honest, the Zune was sent to one of the accounts I nuked and then forgot about. I don't remember the login for it or anything, so I can't verify whether or not I received a shipping email. I did not email LSC about it, and it was ordered some time in July/August.

Its halo 2 for vista. You can pick up H2 for xbox for like $20 @ best buy. And make sure you have a decent PC to run H2V, I heard that it was pretty demanding. Its just a GFW game other than that.

Any tips or tricks? I would appreciate them very much. I'm in need for FF miles (when they come back) as well as a XBOX if it shows back up on the LSC scene.
Thanks a bunch.

Dear Live Search Club Participant,
Thank you for contacting Live Search Club Support. We are pleased to announce we have more stock of your prize(s) that was/were previously backordered. We are shipping these prizes out within the next 4 weeks, when your previously backordered item ships you will receive your 2nd confirmation e-mail with any necessary shipping and tracking information.

No, a little window at the top will pop up and say "congradulations you have reached the limit for today... "
sometimes it won't show up but when you finish a game you won't get any points.
also no one knows if the 360s will be back they showed up for less then 1 day and were removed. who knows if it will ever come back again.

I'd bet they will come back. They've gone away plenty of times before and they always come back.
I'm pretty disappointed with the disappearance of magazines.com gift cards though.
Any ideas on what I should do with the 18,000 points that get refunded to me, once they actually give them back? I could go for Office, or a Zune. Not sure I care for the Zune though....

My brother ordered Vista sometime either late last year or early this year and received it within 6 weeks or so (not sure if it was ultimate or home premium, etc.). He also used it to enter a contest for a free HP Dragon laptop (31daysofthedragon). He used his free Vista to win a $5100 laptop/bundle. LSC is his best friend.

same thing happened to my gf's zune. first the zune would error when uploading songs. had to ship to M$ to get another. then on the second one the usb port just died. its really a piece of crap and it really makes me appreciate my ipod despite people always talking trash about it. my 2 ipods in which one i had for 4 years, never had any problems
thats why i still havent even opened my zune i got from LSC. dunno what im gonna do with it. I might put it on ebay.

Yeah, I wouldn't even attempt using it if not the fact that my iPod of two years didn't die. Stupid "Cannot write to disc" and "The item "My iPod" cannot be synced" errors:bomb::bomb::bomb:.

For those of you who shortly after the switch to the new site got an "initialize your account" screen and had your account totally disappear, as I did; LSC apparently is looking into it and will add old ticket amounts to whatever you get on your "new" account. They sent me an email today stating:
The "Initialize Account" error is being furthered investigated by our Technical Support Team. Upon resolution, tickets that have been accrued on your new handle will be transferred to your old handle which you will be able to access. Please note, any tickets that are accrued will be transferred to your old handle upon resolution.

The Zune is 20k Tickets. There's a limit of 1000 tickets per day. If you hit the caps everyday... you should be able to order it in 20 days. So I'd say minimum 20 days.

For me.. playing nonstop.. I'd say like 2-3 hours? It actually depends on what game are you doing. I'm guessing it's 2-3 for me nonstop on an anagrammer game.

Well, they canceled by gift certs. I just went ahead and ordered a controller and wireless desktop. I was gonna save up for the Zune, but these are actually items I need, so whatever. I still would have rather had the gift certs though.

Has anyone tried asking them about when they'll update their prize list, or even tried suggested prizes to them? I really wish they would add some more recent 360 games. All they've got are 2 old launch titles that probably retail for $20 now...

it seems to me that 2,500 tickets for a game is pretty cheap. its ~ 25$ which is what they go for. i think they are just too lazy to care about updating the prizes as much as we would like.

Well it's fine that those games are on there (I even ordered Kameo), I just wish there was something newer as well. Put up a few newer games for somewhere around 5 to 6,000 and I'd be that much more eager to participate.

fuck, all three of my Magazines.com GCs were cancelled. I hope that they really are just backordered and will come back; In the meantime, I am considering just getting Halo 2 Vista(I hope it is the vista version) as I need less than 200 points to get to it, and then I might just asve up for future GCs.

I agree, I would definitely pick up Mass Effect or Ninja Gaiden 2 or any 1st party games if they added them, and the games they have up now are "overpriced" now, because they wanted 2500, while you can get them for ~$10 used.

Now that it seems that LSC is now Incentive Logic free, should I e-mail them about my 360? I ordered 2/14 and havent herd anything from. I can wait for it, but with everyone getting their prizes quite quickly and the removal of Incentive Logic, should I e-mail them or keep waiting?

Hm... do you guys suggest I get Kameo or Halo 2? I used to like the Banjo games and rare games... I have never played any of the Halo games.
There's only an Xbox and Windows Vista version. Only through backwards compatibility does the Xbox version run on the Xbox 360.
Did the email say it's for the 360 because looking at the prize title "Halo 2 for Xbox 360" I honestly would have never known. The confusion lies in contradictory name of the prize and the image they provided.

There was a post a few pages ago from CoinCollector, IIRC, another February 360 orderer. He's apparently been asking about it for a while. The response he got this week is that they're in the process of fulfilling orders, so it should be within the next 4 weeks.
And becuase they're no longer using Incentive Logic, we should actually get a shipping notification when it ships.

Kameo is a great game, but I would recommend Halo. Halo 2 (Vista) retails for $50, Kameo is $10 used; http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=39274 , so you would be getting more for your points with Halo.

I am not completely sure about that. But if they are no longer made, Microsoft still supports it as part of the Zune family. Halo 2 Xbox is 3 1/2 years old, while Halo 2 Vista is only about a year, so hopefully it is Vista( atleast I hope so).

Double ticket day is from 12:00AM to 11:59PM PDT but wouldn't that cut into two UTC (http://club.live.com/Pages/about/about.aspx?tab=club#DailyTicketLimit) days? How does that work out?
Say if you live in the pacific can you max out to 1000 tickets from 12AM to 5PM then max out again at the start of the next UTC day at 5PM to 11:59PM? That makes for 4000 tickets when they're doubled.

06-09-2008, 09:23 PM
Lol, got to read that fine print
How hard would it have been to start double ticket day at the start of a UTC day? It'd be so much simpler and straightforward. There wouldn't be any need for fine print to state the obvious because the most you would earn in a day is a 1000 therefore 2000 tickets when they're doubled.
e3revolution
06-09-2008, 09:25 PM
Its easier for them, Redmond, Washington
Easier how? It would seem that they're already tabulating how many points you make in a UTC day so why bother going through the trouble of tabulating how many points you make in an entirely different time frame for this one occasion when you can match it with UTC times and call it a day?
IDK I'm sure there's good reason for this anyway.
*edit* I wouldn't be surprised if the GCs returned but quadrupled the tickets required to obtain them to thwart the cash redemptions.
e3revolution
06-09-2008, 09:51 PM
Simple. 2000 max for the time frame. Double if you don't reach max. Same limit for the UTC time frame
