If anyone happens to have an extra gamepack code they'd want to give/trade me... feel free :P (I don't have much... Just tons of live codes, ill help out in a game or do something for them though... Just nothing that needs a credit card/phone number etc)

It's possible that they have a way of knowing which ones haven't been used and are assuming (albeit incorrectly) they won't be.

Keep in mind the points aren't just for Xbox; you can use them for Zune as well. So there are a couple different avenues with which you can use your live account.

I had a feeling that was going to happen. That's why I used the ones I wanted and when I traded away the rest, I told the people I traded with to use them soon. Probably Tropicana's way of renewing prizes by reusing codes that have not been redeemed. As for the way they know they haven't been redeemed, it's as easy as calling MS CS.

Stop it, right now. This is post #3 in the past few hours regarding this. This is NOT a trade forum. People trading codes was allowed to slide because the codes pertained to the thread. You are trying to pawn off an iTunes card, which clearly didn't come from this contest, and being obnoxious about it at the same time.
If you want it gone so bad, make a tradelist in 10 days, once your waiting period is up.

Probably because some people don't think purely in dollar values. I for one don't think it's stupid. Both parties get what they want, they're happy, and they've done a good deed. Stop thinking in terms of black and white, and you might learn a thing or two.

No, it's old news to the BB/GR thread (and the CAG trade-in price wiki) that Forza gets $32 and FF2 $15 at Blockbuster. Forza got $35 a few weeks ago. I didn't bother trading in there because the credit is fairly useless to me, but if you have a GR nearby it's a pretty good deal. I did, however, get Gamecrazy to price match Blockbusters trade-in price on those games ;).

Received a game pack in the mail yesterday (or maybe it was Friday?). Odds are it was the one I bought from WZ_man (before I won one as well). So I'm expecting another package in a week or so, plus 1 of those hideous face plates. Lol.
Turnaround time was about 4-5 weeks.
Those face plates, I'd think, might make for a good template to paint your own. They look awful but if you find someone who likes sumo or likes tropicana twister ... :D

Yeah I knew from his exaggerated "what is this airwalk you speak of?" shit. Now we know his modus operandi anyway, he just changes the last digit in his codes before he sends them so they look legitimate, but don't work. Doesn't matter now though since I don't think anybody will be dumb enough to trade with him.

If you are entering them on the computer you can't so you must enter them on your xbox 360. If it still doesn't work then the code may have been used or your typing it wrong. If that's the case look over your code sometimes I confuse D with P, G with 6, etc.

May have been used? As in before I got them? Just wondering if its possible to get a used code on an e-mail address never used before. Thanks, I won't use the computer next time. Am I supposed to be typing them in under "Redeem Prepaid Code" or, "Modify Membership." I can't check right now.

You can't do it online on xbox.com or anything. Have fun!
I guess they make you do this to prevent people from doing exactly what you are trying to do. Oh and the Gold Trial isn't even full fledge gold so still won't have all of the features that gold players have but at least you can play online multiplayer.

I know you can just gmail your way through a lot of attempts, but if I don't want to spend all day with gmail can i just come back with the same email each day for another chance? or is it just going to keep chucking this same code back at me?

I know you can just gmail your way through a lot of attempts, but if I don't want to spend all day with gmail can i just come back with the same email each day for another chance? or is it just going to keep chucking this same code back at me?
You keep getting the same 48 hour code, yes.
However you did get another free entry, you just lost again.

You can enter once every day with any given email. You will get the same 48-Hour code with each same email. You could enter once a day with one email, but you'll never win everything. To get good prizes you need to dedicate time to it, they don't just come to you.

I found this on another site.
Is this true?
"Apparently the 48 hour Gold trials only work if you have never "experienced" XBL Gold before. Given that you have a month of Gold just by signing up this means that the vouchers are entirely useless."
Not true.

For some reason, I find it ironic that I see posts from people saying they need to restock.. And others from people who are getting multiple faceplates/gamepacks. If they're running out of prizes, it's because people are hoarding.. The guys on CAG are as bad as the Slickdeals/FW crowd. Sad. And disappointing.

How is it hoarding when it's a random contest? Some people are lucky, others aren't, which is what it comes down to. Had you been in on this for some time, you'd see people were sharing their winning URLs with people, until lurkers started snatching them up.
As for myself, it took me MONTHS of trying before I won a gamepack. The second gamepack I traded points for.
It's not as if there's a bin that says "Free, Take One!" and people are grabbing what they can. :roll:

Do you really need more than one copy of a game? You know, I don't think so. What it really comes down to is how can you profit from it? "Oooh, I'll profit from this.." I could probably have won 3-4, but I got one gamepack, and I'm fine with that. I'm sure I could trade them into GameStop, or selll them on Craigslist, but I'm happy with what I have. I'm sorry you don't agree, but don't get mad when people accuse you of hoarding. Because that's exactly what you're doing. Save some for everybody else.

Since you're acting so self-righteous, I'm assuming you played once a day until you got your gamepack?
And for the record, the second copies are going to my brother-in-law for christmas. I didn't, and am not profiting from it. Stop assuming everyone out there is a far worse person than you are, which seems to be your thing, judging by your posting habits.
As far as these faceplates, people can have them. They're ugly and fit like crap.

God forbid someone here should actually follow the rules.
You already profited from it, by trading the gamepack for points..
And there's lots of people here on the forums looking for them, so I'd suggest you start PMing them.
There's nothing more angry and more defensive that a hoarder who's been caught. :D

How would he profit from that? He probably traded the gamepack for around 2000 points or something. That's way less than what he would of got if he just sold it.
And anyone could just say "hey I haven't won a gamepack, can someone trade/give me one?" and lie about it. There is no way to track everyone's winnings to see if they're telling the truth. You need to stop complaining about something that you will never be able to fix/change.

Re-read what I typed. I won a gamepack. Two days prior to winning, I traded XBL points to someone for a winning Gamepack code, since after months of trying I didn't win one. So I ended up winning two gamepacks. One is in my collection, while gamepack #2 is going to my brother-in-law for christmas.
I didn't sell a gamepack or profit anything in any way. As said, at least I am honest about it, and wasn't caught.
Please take your rabblerousing elsewhere, since you seem to be trying to get a rise out of people for the hell of it..

I hope instead of sending me a 360 and all the other stuff, I just get a check. I know a lot of games I could buy with $930. But yeah I'm in the same boat too. It's been 3 months since my paper work went in. *sigh*

I've got about 250 48-hour trials that I will never use. If anyone wants any, drop me a PM. No, you cannot have all 250. I'll give about 25, or maybe more to whoever asks for some.
EDIT: I've got 25 left, one more person can have them.
All gone! Enjoy.

In other news, how many times do you big winners do this game? I've tried like 70 times in the past 3 days? Got 1 faceplate and 100 points. It is nothing in comparison to the games and systems you lucky ones are getting!

Gamestop won't take in sealed games. I'm shocked that guy had the balls to do that. AFAIK, if the game is sealed, they have to reject it.

A few months back when I was at GS, some guy came in with a bunch of sealed games. Girl said she couldn't take them. The guy offered to open them up right there and she still said no. She saw they were sealed games and he'll have to come back some other time.

I never traded anything to FYE myself, but during the big sale they had before I noticed a few "Used" PS2 games that still had the security sticker on the top spine. YMMV though.

Never tried trading in a sealed game at FYE, but out of all the places I've traded (GS and BB being the others) they've looked the most critically at disc quality.
jaysapathy
11-22-2007, 06:33 PM
The reason you see "used" PS2 games at FYE is because when they "bought out" Media Play, they had to dump excess inventory that didn't sell. Rather than liquidating it, they re-introduced it into the inventory as "used", thereby getting 100% of the profits. If you see a security sticker, it's because it's new inventory being pawned off as used. When FYE first opened, everyone went ape over it trying to get stuff once they figured it out. I landed a lot of "used" games for decent prices that way..
