Yea I love the microsoft retail expert zone. I work at a game crazy so thats how I got in (since you need to work in some kind of video game/PC retail to get in) and I got halo 3, gears of war, and a whole bunch of other games for $9.63 total and like 3000-3500 points. They even screwed up once cuz I ordered LotR battle for middle earth II but it was like a DAY too late as they e-mailed me saying they had none. So i complained and complained and got my money back and I also complained about my points in multiple e-mails...well one day they gave me back my 3000 pts...but then 2 days later, gave me ANOTHER 3000 pts. they must've either felt bad they screwed up, or 2 different people got one of my multiple e-mails and both gave me 3000 not realizing someone else did. lol it was great.
PS: ALWAYS do the tutorials that are for a contest, I won Lego Star Wars Comeple Saga for xbox 360 just for doing the survey for it like back in november. So take it from me, those are NOT a joke. I just came home one day, had a package from microsoft, had no idea what it was cuz I didnt order anything and BAM, lego star wars complete saga for free. It was great cuz i had a very crappy day that day.
