5/5 with two codes left unredeemed, so far. My dad's figured out that some of the guys he works with drink Pepsi and don't care what happens to the lids. :)

How often have they been adding new songs? Getting the Green Day pack for free would be fantastic, but I'm not sure if I want to wait weeks or months on the off chance they might add it down the road.


I'd say weeks. They will add it, I'm sure. Maybe not the whole thing, though.

I am loving this promotion! 13/13 Just a few more songs to pick up and then I can hold onto the tokens from there on. The codes don't have to be used until 12/31 so you can just pick up new songs as they add them or get new VC content

I'm 75/75 on DLC. Seems like its impossible to lose right now. Still a couple months left in the contest too. Not a bad promotion for summer.

Lol, so many. I'm going to overtake your lead though...just you wait...

Accidentally shifted to a PS3 code instead of Wii. It's an Alice Cooper song (I think it was one of the live ones). Here it is for free, but if you want to toss me a Wii code, more power to ya:

I'm 1/1. I wonder what would be cheaper, buying songs with a 1600 point MS card, or buying soda and getting the songs with the caps. I guess it depends on the price of soda.

gimpeyjoe
07-05-2009, 04:47 AM
Average cost of soda is 1.50

For the most part, each song costs 2.00

Therefore, you'd be getting a 20 dollar card for roughly 15, assuming you'd be spending it on Rock Band Songs anyway.

I see it that the money is going towards soda anyways, so the songs are free....

has anyone had a problem with a cap not showing it is valid? I bought one and the lid is stating invalid... I have put in a trouble ticket through the feedback section on Yahoo but no word back yet.

Make sure you are entering it correctly.

If there is an 'O' make sure its not an 0 or something. Things like that.

I thought that too so I tried both ways but both still state invalid. One thing that was odd is that there were S not 5 in the cap. I looked at a cap that had a 5 and one mine in question. It is definitly an S.

Thanks for doing the math. I was extremely tired last night, so I really appreciate that.

So getting a soda for less than 2 bucks makes this worth it. Sweet.

You could PM me the code and I'll try it. In return if it works, I'll PM you a code. I have like 4 unopened bottles of Pepsi in my fridge right now.

Glad to see the updated song list. There's another 6 or so I was planning on buying, but I'll wait to cash in some caps. I'm 7/7 after a hiatus...Alice Cooper - Eighteen this time. Forgot to close out my REO collection, so I'll have to set aside one win for "Riding the Storm Out".

41/41... too bad there's only a few songs I really want. Might just sell them. :\

I really cleaned up at the Arts Festival we went to this weekend. Thankfully people are slobs and just dropped bottles wherever, so I snagged the caps and tossed the bottles in the recycling bins.

I just got back from tonight's Tigers game (they lost to the Royals, 4-3 [boo :(]). Around the fourth inning or so, I noticed that all the Pepsi bottles had yellow caps. Being the cheapass I am, I decided to stay afterward for a little bit, and while waiting for the crowds to thin out, looked around for how many caps I could find. Turns out, this many:

I would have gotten more, but my pockets were full. By the time I started, almost no one was left near the seats, so I guess not many people know about the promotion and/or care about Rock Band. If you have an MLB stadium near you (that stocks Pepsi), you might want to see if they have yellow caps.

I'm 90/90 and still have a couple caps to enter for some Wii points. Need to start looking for good VC games and WiiWare games that I might want to pick up. Nice find at the baseball game.

Gosha

Only WiiWare thing I would be interested in are the Final Fantasy 4 After Years episodes. Seems like it would be worth it to save points for those.

That would give me a reason to go to a Padres game. Considering I hate the Padres, it would be the only reason. Unless they were playing the Giants.

Though, that's freaking amazing.

I've seen the yellow caps and am now 3/3! Woot!

Make that 7/7 thanks to the break room here at the office!

I've got a buddy that works here to. I haven't told him about the promotion as I know he'll scour the plastic recycling bins and take all the caps before me... does that make me a bad person? :???:

if you select the wii, it just gives you wii points!?!?

I seem to only have the patience to get the wii points when I have enough bottles together. My usual one bottle at a time just funnels into the "I'll just get one more song" rhythm, especially since they were lying about them never updating the list. Next song on my list: Run To the Hills (Original). It's good to see it back.
Next "New York Provides" (caps from street bottles) Wii game : Bit.Trip Core

07-07-2009, 04:19 PM
I decided after seeing this thread yesterday to head down to my recycling center. They only let me get at the bottle caps that people drop off there, but at least they let me :) I only pulled in 3, which I mean is better than 0. I'll be making bi-weekly stops now to check... even though it makes me take a shower after each time I go :s

Just throwing around ideas :)

They are giving away 5000 songs per day.

Start with all the Pepsi 20oz sold in one day - it's a lot. Maybe 500,000 per day? (Just a guess I have no idea) How many people own Rock Band? 4 million copies sold, 1.7 of RB2 that means only ~1.5% of the population so chances are 500,000*1.5% = 7500 caps held on to.

You have to assume maybe 1/3 of the cap points goes to the other prizes (again just guessing). That leaves maybe 5000 caps for songs...? So yeah... every one that plays for songs is going to win.

Granted this is all just numbers I pulled out of thin air, but I'm sure the logic isn't all that unreasonable.

That's some decent reasoning.

Other things that could factor in is that people usually buy 12 packs of soda (due to more soda for less money), the amount of people that don't drink Pepsi, and the people who don't know about the promotion (or don't care).

And according to the Official Rules, it's only available to "the legal legal residents of one of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia" so that throws off your population percentage (I think you got 1.5% of 6 billion people)

But yeah, I think its a near-guarantee win because I don't think people are redeeming anywhere near 5000 caps a day.

aspower
07-08-2009, 05:35 PM
9 outta 9. Just added the Cranberries Linger (probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise). I'm planning on adding my 10th win tomorrow at lunch.

FYI - The 1.5% was ~5 million RB players/300 million US citizens. 4 million RB1 and 1.7 million RB2. There's probably more overlap, but who knows...

I don't know whether to be excited or regretful for reading this post. I did a quick eBay search and found 25 codes for $20. After realizing that is only going to be $20 for $50 worth of DLC, I just had to get it. Haha. But thanks!

I'm now 27/27. I have another cap with me (I bought 2 Pepsi's at work today), but I'm waiting until tomorrow to try and redeem it.

Now what songs should I download.. Haha. All the Green Day songs are downloadable via Pepsi on the 360, and I'm hoping they do the same for PS3. I was going to buy that pack anyways, but now I can get it for "free."

I hate soda, so I was looking at eBay as well.

I got 100 caps for $50. That works out to .50 cents a cap. When it came in the mail, it was 110 caps- and my friend is splitting the cost with me. 55 caps for 25. That works out to be $100 for only $25!

Since I am using 90% on my Wii, it is practically free Wii points. I already bought every great/good game on the service, and over 50 to spare. i wont buy any more caps, but I have been looking. I figure if I find 3-4 a week- I will be set with enough Wii points until the next Nintendo system.. lol

3 - REO Speedwagon songs (skipped the collaboration one)
3 - Styx songs
2 - Alice Coopers (School's Out and Eighteen)
1 - Clash
1 - Cranberries

Not bad for making the Pepsi switch. I got a cap waiting tonight. I might actually get a Maroon 5 song for the wife. I'm still hoping to find a bulk pack of bottles on the cheap, but, alas, I'm still shelling out $1.58 for my beverages.

Got some grocery shopping to do today, so I'll keep an eye out for some RB bottles and see if I can finally get in on this action. Are any particular retailers more likely to stock the bottles with the RB caps? Or is it primarily a crapshoot based on your region?

I was going to ignore this, but fuck it. Your insulting PMs and begging is not the way to go.

The last time I gave away a mistake code you PMd me asking for more. I tactfully refrained from calling you out as a beggar, but implied in my post that someone had done so. I was hoping you'd take the hint.

So yes, you were among the first but have been blacklisted. Bummer.

I've given $6 worth of RB freebies to the community in hopes of encouraging others to do the same. Apparently some of us don't know how to be thankful for what we have.

Sorry if you recall it that way with your horrid memory, but what my PM at the time said, if you happen to make a mistake again, could you shoot it my way. A question is by no means begging. You could have said 'no' or something to that effect. Yes I saw your message way back when, and you said you put it out as a 'warning.' Why don't you scroll back and find where you said it- it isn't worth my time to hunt down messages.

I have had CAGs Pm me questions about free Pepsi caps, Rolando codes, and Club Nintendo codes. The answer is either a yes or no. I do not know why you have to be childish and 'blacklist.'

You are a bitter fuck, and not a nice person at all. No wonder you're begging for karma. What comes around goes around.

Rediculous.

From the website:
During the Promotion Period, whichever comes first, look for Codes under specially-marked bottle caps of 20 oz and 1 liter Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Caffeine Free Pepsi, Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One, Wild Cherry Pepsi, Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Diet Pepsi Lime, Pepsi Lime, Diet Pepsi Lemon, Diet Sierra Mist and, in certain participating markets, on specially-marked Pepsi fountain cups available at participating locations during the Promotion Period or until supplies of specially-marked bottle caps and fountain cups are exhausted, whichever occurs first.

I hope they update the site soon, since after cashing in the 16 codes I had, I'm pretty much done with DLC I actually want (and don't have). Guess it'll be Wii points from then on.

Any ideas why these particular songs were chosen, by the way? It's weird that we get the brand new Green Day pack a day or two after it comes out, yet we have no Spinal Tap songs as of yet. What's really bizarre is the partial packs, like the Nirvana pack. This isn't really a complaint, cause free is free, but if they aren't going to put up the rest of the Nirvana pack, I might as well just grab the pack with points and use the codes for random single songs, so it'd be nice to know.

Managed to dive into some recycle bins at work... snagged about 15 caps without looking like a douche.

with the rest of the codes I already redeemed, I'll have about 4600 wii points.

Over 2 $20 cards worth.

Nintendo really should have changed this.....

if they did 5000 per day... that's over $10,000 in Wii points. There still is like 65 days left... $650,000 later... (grant it not all the codes are going to Wii though realistically).

Still though... that's money spent on something else.

Didn't World of Goo go by a unique code, instead of Wii points????? I know that's what happened when I bought it from someone....

This isn't free money, this is free fake money.

Nintendo can't live on fake money.

If the wii codes really did what they should, then Nintendo wouldn't care, because who cares about songs. But if every potential customer got World of Goo FREE.... where is Nintendo's profit???

by giving away something free, it's still a loss. businesses are there to make money.

Follow-up: it looks like there may be a daily limit on PS3 code redemptions. I tried my non-valid codes again today and they worked fine.

Actually if they had codes on 24 or 12 packs I would probably have every song for every system based on how much my family goes through. ;)

Yeah I love that they keep adding new songs to the list, so I'm going to hold many of these codes until September 30th and hope that there are many new songs that are to my liking. I have to say, this is by FAR the best promo for a soft drink I've ever seen.

I bought 200 caps from eBay for about $90 after Bing cashback and the eBay cashback. On top of that the seller threw in about 20 extra caps, so that amounts to less than 50 cents per cap. I buy loads of DLC from Rock Band normally, so 50 cents instead of 1.99 per song is great! On top of that I didn't have to drink loads of Pepsi!

But I was thinking S&S... looks very interesting and I might have to get it. Thanks for the recommendation. :applause:

If you need any ideas, here is a list of my WiiWare and Virtual Console games:

WiiWare:

BitTrip: Beat
Mega Man 9
World of Goo
Swords & Soldiers
Dr. Mario Rx Online
Bomberman Blast
Lost Winds
Tetris Party

Virtual Console:

Super Mario RPG
Secret of Mana
Sin & Punishment
Kirby 64

I owned a few prior to the promotion, but this promotion definately is responsible for about 75% of those games.

Just hit the jackpot on pepsi caps. I'm taking a one week long course up in scenic Dundalk, and the vending machine dispenses Pepsi products for $1.25. I looked around the room and noticed several yellow caps in the class. Let's just say a little dumpster diving at the end of class and I'm now 18/18. I'm to the point where I've picked up all my "must buy" songs, so now I might start trying for a bundle. Any thoughts on the best strategy for winning a bundle (I'm assuming entering every hour on the hour)?

so you've been getting them for like other systems??? Because getting the songs for the wii is like the same except you don't actually spend the wii points they give you.

When you select a song for wii, they just give you a e-card for 200 points. Use it whatever way you want. It's free points.



managed to pick up another 9 today... all free, so almost another $20 in wii points.

Hopefully get enough by the end of the promotion to NEVER buy another card again.

Free is nice.

Question for anyone who might know:

Are some of the songs compatible with Rock Band 1, and some not? I've downloaded three tracks (PS3) from the Pepsi Rock Band thing--"Dammit" by Blink, "Here Comes Your Man" by the Pixies, and "Story of My Life" by Social D--and the last two don't show up in my Downloaded Songs in Rock Band... but the Blink song does.

Not sure if the PS3 is the same way, but on my 360 i had the same problem. 9 of my dlc songs showed up but the other 20 didn't. Found out it was because I had been unplugging my network cable before starting rock band. When I stayed online and started up rock band it downloaded an update and then all my songs were playable.

I'm so envious of you guys that have places where you can dumpster dive for free caps. On the weekend I went to the OC fair (a county fair in SoCal) and they only sold Pepsi products. From what I could see they had the bottles with the yellow caps as well as these large Pepsi cups with a little sticker that you could rip off with a code on it (first time I've seen that anywhere). However, people must hate Pepsi or something because I could not find a single cap looking into the trashcans. Granted, I didn't dig into them, so I could only see what was on the surface.

In the St Louis area I have only seen the red caps, none of the yellow at all. I cant complain tho because I am 15/15 with the caps so I am happy. Anyway to answer your question ive used most of my B1G1 caps at any local gas station/liquor store. Most (around 80%) of gas stations accept them, but sometimes you will run across one that will refuse to take it because "Pepsi ripped them off before" or something. I guess Pepsi wouldn't pay them back on the caps. You will most likely still have to pay the tax on the free soda too. Anyway give a local gas station a try.....could be YMMV tho depending on which gas station you deal with.

Mirpkered
07-14-2009, 01:22 PM
Actually when you go to use a cap at the gas station, there is no tax. Just a straight exchange. Did this yesterday at the Mobil station. I would think that this would be true for all gas stations.

I don't know if its been mentioned, but the bottle deposit machines are a haven for these caps. (scored about 10 inside and aroud the machine) I guess do to people unscrewing the caps. I've been going to Hess stations around by me and its 3.33 for three of them YMMV though. I just figured i'd mention it.

The gas station by me (Phillips 66 in Illinois) charged me 1.80 something for both of the sodas after using the BOGO cap. I asked why it was so much because they were marked at 1.39 a piece and the cashier said that you still have to pay tax on the second soda. So as I said in my original post....YMMV on having to pay tax. All gas stations (or states) arent created equal after all. Just make sure you take an extra quarter in with ya and you should be alright.

I'm willing to trade something for them (PSN card, or steam gift). I plan to get at least up to 2000 wii points so I can efficiently trade better. I already entered them in my account, but I can do whatever you want with them.

I deliver medical supplies for a living and if I spot a bottle with a cap still on it I always pull over and get it if I am able to. Doing this got me over 500 Mountain Dew caps when they were doing the "360 every 10 minutes contest" and ended up getting me a free 360.

The Pepsi bottles will *NOT BE MARKED ON THE LABLE*... the caps will be *RED OR YELLOW* and feature one of the four Rock Band instrument icons. That is the only indicator of the promotion.

On the plus side, it's easy to tell very quickly which Pepsi bottles won't have codes, since they normally have dark blue caps.

Yeah, I guess it's against the rules to sell just the codes. Some seem to be getting around it by either packaging the codes with something else like a shirt or a keychain. Others are stating that they're charging for their time and effort, not the codes themselves. I'm sure the ones that did get pulled are going to pop back up trying one of these methods. Or you could always keep an eye out for a "buy it now" lot and nab it before it gets pulled down.

Don't think there is, I've put in 6-12 codes at a time before and haven't had any problems. Only time I've gotten an error is when I misread a number, sometimes the 5 looks like a 6 to me if I'm looking at it from the page after picking the song/code.
