Costume Quest is not eligible? What the hell? lol (I already got the game and DLC long ago but still...it's Halloween themed...there couldn't be any better game, right? lol

The theme is Horror, not halloween. Costume Quest is sweet and charming, complete opposing end of the spectrum. It was just a longshot we had hoped to see slide courtesy of the reward teams odd qualifications. (i.e. Pinball tables for the sport month)

Splatterhouse is the one that should easily fit but doesn't.

I know but still there's an unbreakable bond between Horror and Halloween...right? .__. (at least in my head xp) *sigh* haven't found anything yet I could spend points on because already own the most eligble content lol

Games on Deman Ghostbusters doesnt count?

As a jilted fan of the first DR (idea was pretty revolutionary at the time, but damnit those survivors were wet blankets), I really dug the XBLA game DEAD RISING: CASE ZERO. It's a prequel to the full retail sequel, Dead Rising 2, and a really good taste of the modded engine from the first one. The big draw is that you get to carryover some of your XP as well as your outfit and weapon combo cards into DR2 via gamesave. If you play it straight-on, no-turning-back, no-redo style, you'll get about 2 hours out of it. I went for 100% cheevos and boosted my character to the max and got about 8 hours, if not more. Well worth it, if you ask me.

Wonder if Catherine would count?

I saw next week Zombie Driver HD comes out, so figured I'd go and ask about that.

Anyone have any opinions or input on XBLIG's Decay Series who have played it?

Finally decided to bite on The Walking Dead, since getting all 4 episodes would net me the rebate. I was planning to wait until they offered some package deal for all the episodes, but I've heard such good things, I couldn't wait any longer.

Hey guys is ther any way to get 20 MS points (without doing the surveys since those only cash in once you have 100) that's all I need to get a name change.

no. do bing. fastest way to get 100 msp, or change your birthday to 10/13 and hope microsoft gives you 20 msp for your birthday from that new "program".

Reminder, the VP debate is tonight, if you're aiming to earn the Halo avatar armor!

Someone posted a HUGE wish-list of some good "fringe" items over in the forums. :-)

I already responded that he should trim out some of the "known" items from our thread, but I'll definitely be merging in the other items into the "maybe" or "maybe not" sections whenever I get to it. Here's his original list ...

Update ... done ... check the OP for latest updates.

Agreed ... with Bing Rewards, you'll have the points within 7 days. However, I didn't think you could change your birthday, since it's hooked into both the ratings system, as well as the billing system, and those are closely monitored to avoid having minors accessing mature/unrated content.

is there a script or tool that will do the daily bing searches for you (for mac)?

I'm happy to give Bing about 60 seconds of my time, thus improving the odds I won't get kicked out, since I'm logged in with a real account that I use every day. Here's my steps that are 100% compliant to their rules:

1. You obviously won't use IE for any REAL browsing, so go ahead and use IE for "bing" Rewards. I also keep it the default search engine, so they don't keep interrupt my searches.
2. Obviously install the Bing Bar, since this will tell you when the next crop of searches can be done.
3. Click on the reward star, and cash in the "1 point" offers.
4. Go to Bing's homepage (click on the big "bing" logo), and click on the left-most "square" on the pic-of-the-day.
5. Click on "Web" if it's not already the active "tab" at the top for the search item.
6. When the results come up, there will be 10 related searches to the far right. With your mouse, middle-click on all but the last item to open new tabs for each of those related searches.
7. On the last item, click on it to refresh the current tab ... and middle-click the new group of related searches.
8. If you're not presented with a list of related searches, close that tab, because you have 30-50 other tabs with other related searches to click.
9. Once you've given Bing the required number (for me, I'm currently getting 1 point per 2 searches), shut down IE, and move on with your life.

It takes only 5 or so pages of "related searches" to fill up all 15 points they'll give me. Each page takes about 5 seconds. Therefore, I never spend more than 60 seconds doing this, with the only part sucking is "as long as I remember to do it".

Others have macro'ized solutions, but this works fine for me.

Thanks for the bing info, I'm gonna try and do that

Nobody has a stranglehold on the OP, and honestly, if it's in the "definitely not" section, then I really did see the Xbox Rewards staff either expressly knock it out, or it was left out of a list of qualifying items. Glad to see they added it, though ... now we just need an answer on "TD:VS".

Where'd you see that? I just did a scrape of the Xbox Forums, and only found 2 open questions with no answers either knocking it out, or otherwise "excluding" it. So until you get an answer back, post a question in the Xbox Rewards Questions forum, and report back, soldier!

And I am done for the night, having searched on all the "maybe" titles just for good measure. I'll be back to the thread in a few days to catch-up, if nobody else gets busy with the OP, but remember this is a crowd-sourced group effort, and everybody wins when more people take part!

BTW, if you post at the Xbox Rewards forum, be sure to give yourself & other fellow CAG'ers 5 stars on their replies (ahem (cough) including me aka "Yukon Cornelius"), so that the system won't think those responses are undeserved. I'm even giving 5-stars to the Xbox Rewards staff when they answer questions, just to keep my own ranking within the system high enough that I'm not considered "trolling". Just an inside tip from someone who's handled BBS's before.

How did you go about easily seaching the forums for those threads? Am I missing something right in front of me?
