Are they seriously sending out refurb units? That's a bunch of BS. I'd honestly rather them raise the "price" of the 360 to ensure I get a new model w/ 60GB HDD and HDMI.
Well, I never order an 360 but the Zune I got looks to be refurbish. The two stickers overlapping each other with the serial number and barcodes is probably a good indication that my Zune has change serial numbers at least twice.

Am I correct in assuming everyone here uses anagramssolved or an anagram solver? And I was also wondering if that affected you getting your prizes?

I got both of my Xboxes today. Both of them were manufactured in 2006 and are older models.
Are they seriously sending out refurb units? That's a bunch of BS. I'd honestly rather them raise the "price" of the 360 to ensure I get a new model w/ 60GB HDD and HDMI.
Speaking for myself, I'd just like them to send me the prize I ordered. At this point, I don't care if it's 60GB, 20GB, Core, refurbed, or even used. A 24+ week wait is really stretching my patience, especially when they've shipped out almost all the orders from the end of June.

Been using them from day one, and have never had a problem. I've received all but one of my prizes, and I'm still waiting to hear back from them on that one.

Yeah, I understand how irritating this must all be. You ordered yours in Feb., right? I've read most of your posts too regarding the emails you've sent them, only to receive a canned response.

When do you think they'll run out of cameras? I know I'm a bit obsessed only because mine got stolen last year and I don't feel like spending that kind of money for another one just yet...thanks for the help conchopearl and niss
Did you order 2 xboxes? and did it come with the games also?
Yes two and it came with no games. Luckily I had previously ordered and received PGR3, Kameo and Rockband.
Can you check if they're refurbish? If you remove the face plate, the sticker in the middle should be gold if it's new and white if it's refurbish.
It's a silver Microsoft sticker right below the circle of light.

Thanks for answer for me. Anyway, if you have Vista or XP I think its pre-installed. Try downloading the file and see if there is a scroll for the icon. If there is, double click the file and it will ask for permission to run. Click ok and then you have about 2 seconds to click on flexicon (make sure flexicon is highlighting the first clue horizontally), or chicktionary/word slugger/spelling bee flash window. I think that is all.
Wait, so all I do is click the icon while playing Flexicon?

I wasn't kidding. I read in the RRoD thread in the xbox360 forum that new xbox360 come with a gold sticker. Refurbished one or maybe just the ones they fixed from RRoD comes with the white sticker. I know the white sticker are true because my 360 RRoDed and now it has a white sticker.
I've got no idea about the silver though. This is the first I've heard of it.

The XBOX I got from LSC jus has a silver "Microsoft" sticker, holding a part together by the power button on the console, not on the back of the faceplate (meaning it's new). It's a falcon. I doubt they are sending out Refurbs, but if they are, I'm lucky. The Zune I got looked brand new, no serial covering, no box abuse, etc.

ok, I ordered Kameo on March 30, 2008. They said to give it 12 weeks to ship, but I just realized that it's been about 19 weeks. I sent a message through their feedback, but is there no other way to contact them? I really don't feel that I'm going to be getting a useful response from using the feedback system.
I haven't found another way to contact them and no, you won't get a useful response from them. I don't think they even read the emails. They're probably just scanning the emails for key words and sending out form letters to answer what they think is your question. They sent my husband the wrong shirt and I've emailed them 3 times. The first time, they said it would take up to 12 weeks to receive my prize. The second time, they said they can't change my prize order. I just sent the third email, so I don't know what they'll say. Probably nothing useful. Good luck getting an answer out of them.
Am I correct in assuming everyone here uses anagramssolved or an anagram solver? And I was also wondering if that affected you getting your prizes?
Nope, don't use it and don't plan to. I've read that it doesn't affect getting prizes. I just don't want to risk it. But that's just me. :)

What I don't get is, are bots really so crappy that they don't have timers to SLOW DOWN or can't pause them to pass the captcha and move on? And there really is no way to pass some of them, so it's not a good indicator anyway.

Points are not real money, they cost Microsoft nothing to make and nothing to distribute, and they have no value outside of Microsoft services. That's a lot cheaper to MS than all of the prizes up there now. That being said if they were ever going to put points up I think they would have done it already.

I think I'll still go for the controller before the earplugs.
Another change, they reorganized and redesigned some of the prizes; tshirts are zoomed in so you can see the design, the card packs are weird, and multi colored prizes are now in drop down boxes.
And I agree with Strider, I would play a lot more than I do now if I could get points for the Zune marketplace.

Not that I'm complaining but I wonder why MS had the change of heart all of the sudden?
Too much negative publicity?Not sure if you've been following, but the prize distributor for LSC has changed, and there's a phenomenal difference now.
I'm sure they are also trying to make amends with folks that were banned from LSC for just asking about their prizes.

I want Vista, but it's not worth 20,000 points considering it was only 6,000 before for a better version, AND they could stand to give away more of these since it's not exactly a crowd favorite.

I got the same email. I was also able to get more prizes on that account. My Sideline Tote Bag, Pink / Brown seems to have gone missing. I email UPS about the package and they told me that I should contact the shipper of the package and request that they initiate an investigation. Billing information was received on 07/28/2008 and the orgin scan was from LOUISVILLE, KY on 07/29/2008 at 9:20 P.M.
I never received my package and the tracking information was never updated past the orgin scan stage.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=586880&topic=44756567
You have 3 people to thank for these emails you all recently got. Myself, Greshmahg, and his girlfriend. We filed a 2nd joint suit against Incentive Logic earlier this year (led by Gresh since he's actually an attorney) for additional damages on top of what we already got from Microsoft, and seeking class status. You're all getting prizes as part of the settlement he negotiated last month so as to avoid class action status against Incentive Logic (who couldn't afford to defend something like that).
Yes, those emails are real. Yes, you're really getting your prizes ("at least 1 per household"). If you ordered 300 copies of Vista, they're probably going to catch it and only send you 1, but you're going to get something. Enjoy.

Woot! Can't believe they're coughing up prizes after all this time. I'd given it up for lost, but there's evidently a copy of Vista heading my way (well, within the next 12 weeks). Of course by now it's become quite evident that Vista is not such a hot OS, but free is free ...

I bet it's a change they made overnight. At least I hope it is, I have 3 accounts (my son, wife and self) and all give me the "daily ticket amount exceeded" message. I've got to believe if I stay up till 3am EDT that I'll be able to play. Hopefully they changed it to Eastern Time, I'd appreciate that, I can stay up till midnight, but not 3am, especially not on work nights...

Why not take a day off from it and then do it at whatever time you want on subsequent days? You could actually play a videogame instead (presumably a common interest around here). :-)

I mix in a little video gaming from time to time. I'm stuck on a PC (no 360 for me yet, but once they bring it back...) so I'm a bit limited. Either way, I'm watching some 24 to try and catch up before the new season, though I've been "multi tasking" the 24 with LSC, it's nice to be focused on just the 24, at least for one night...

I haven't heard too many good things about them. The only thread I found on the Zune forums about them was a thread concerning the fact that they are metal mesh inside and they shock people. :/
Of course I went on the suggestion to get some skullcandies instead, and they turned out to be garbage, plus they won't honor their warranties anymore.

My 360 was manufactured 9/20/2006 and when I registered it here (https://service.xbox.com/default.aspx) I found out my warranty will expire this November. I thought my 360 was covered for 3 years for the RRoD?

honestly.. I think mine is a refurbished. You know those rubber bases that it uses when it's set horizontally? If you look at one of them closely, there's a piece of plastic that's been chipped away on mine. You need to take off that rubber thing first if you want to even open your 360 in the first place. Looks like mine has been tampered with.

Yes, you can get 3 of each hardware/software item* to one billing address, regardless of accounts.
Am I completely sure? Yes, as I have stated, there are 3 accounts (my wife, my son and myself) with various items delivered to my house. Some items are unique to that account, others are repeats of stuff I have ordered from other accounts. I ordered 2 controllers on one account and 1 controller on another, all delivered to my house, with ZERO problems. 2 Zunes, same account, same address, no problems. Am I missing something? This is really very simple...
*does not include items such as ringtones, gift cards, airline miles, Shirts, hats, etc.

WHOA!! I just got this:
I ordered Vista Ultimate back when it was 6000 tickets. It never came. I never cheated and the account was never zeroed. I had since got a tote bag and a zune case, but had kind of given up thinking it was a scam and the good stuff never shows up. But, if this is true, I might start up playing again.
I got that same email. Hopefully I'll see my Vista Ultimate soon as well. It's pretty damn late though.

Are you sure that you can have 2 accounts tied to the same address that go to different people at that same address. I know I would still be limited to the 3/3 item rule. Thanks!
Yes, I am absolutely sure you can have multiple accounts shipping to the same address. My husband, son, and I all have our own accounts and have our prizes shipped to one address. We've never had any problems. As long as you haven't created another account to avoid limits, you're fine.

I was giving LSC time for the February Xboxs to come, since they seem to be sending out one specific prize at a time. They got around to the rest of the June Xboxs, and still no February ones. Does anyone know a phone number I could call them at, or even an address to send a physical letter to? E-mails don't really seem to work....

I was online at LSC the other night too and was amazed that the tickets just kept coming. I kind of get a feel for when I should be through, so I knew I was getting more points than was allowed for the day, but it happened before and they didn't take those additional points away (they better not!!! I worked for those!!!), so I stayed up way later than I had planned just going and going and going. I have to say that I am often RELIEVED when I reach the 1,000 ticket mark.

yah but ive seen on other forum that people were going over to and i believe earlier in thread some kid said he got 3600 so idk if they r going to care if they messed up and didnt have the ticket limit coming up after there update. I mean why should I be banned for there mistake but we will see I haven't had a problem yet. :D

I just did one over, 1025, but I am going to stop now. I'd rather wait an extra day before I have enough tickets (for what i do not know) then risk being banned.

Not for me anymore. I actually "lost" 1,000 tickets because of the updated reset time. When they changed it, I couldn't play that day because of the ticket limit message keep popping up even though the last 1k tickets I got was the night before. I waited until 5:00 pm. I sent them a email about it but they haven't answer me yet.

My 360 was manufactured 9/20/2006 and when I registered it here (https://service.xbox.com/default.aspx) I found out my warranty will expire this November. I thought my 360 was covered for 3 years for the RRoD?
The RRoD warranty does not show up on your warranty page. I just sent mine in a week ago after flipping out because I got the RRoD after my warranty was expired. I called 1-800-4-MY-XBOX and they said I was completely covered, free of charge because of the 3 year RRoD extension.
So before you give up hope, give them a call.
Also, each new console you recieve from the repair center has an additional 1 year warranty. (Not sure if it gets a new 3 year RRoD or not though.)

It is about the size of a deck of cards. And a really nice big viewing window.You can do a lot of things with it. I just need to stop being lazy

I'd say that prizes get changed every 2 or maybe 3 weeks. From what I've seen, xbox appears every month or more. Its a good idea to go ahead and save up for it now because things disappear quickly sometimes.
Xbox is 32K tickets + 1K max tickets a day = start saving now:bouncy:

Haha, throw in a Wii for that matter. And some games for each. That'd be a tough choice for them too; "Do we want people to make us send them our competitors products, or do we want their money from using our search engine?"
Seriously though, PS3's and Wii's on LSC would rule.

It all really depends on what you ordered. I ordered a backpack on 7/23 and sent a really mean letter to them on 8/1 and they sent me a shipping confirmation 2 hours later but they shipped it on 7/29 i felt bad about it but not really since i ordered 3 shirts on 7/26 and didnt get them yet.
