Some will win free 160 Microsoft Points for V-Day in E-mail

[goatwoody]

I didn't see a thread for this, but I wanted to make sure people were on the lookout to check the e-mail associated with their xbox live account.

Like the Fallout 3 themed e-mails from a few weeks back, some people will have a redeem code for 160 points inside. All you have to do is check your e-mail. If there is no redeem code, you didn't win. Simple as that.

I never receive any of these emails from microsoft. I don't know what you need to do to get on their good sides!

 

[bardockkun]

I Never get these supposed e-mails.

Meh.

 

[GUNNM]

that's the price of a one MVC2 gamerpic pack cool

 

[tenma]

A good deal if you were planning on watching a movie anyway, but otherwise pretty lame.

 

[tigerpants]

yup you need to buy a video. so is there any videos for less than 160 pts?

i just noticed there is another thread talking about this, but the op got a redeem code. maybe there are two versions?

 

[Diebythesword]

Indie games(two 80s), or Raiden IV theme for me. If I get the email :shock:

edit - video huh? Damnit, I think Ren and Stimpy are cheap

 

[sherisdoppel]

Just giving away was not so M$, then I read the replies, "of course".

 

[Jackie Chandler]

ITT- People who don't plan on renting a movie for S.A.D.

 

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

Can I buy a Southpark episode and get the money back, essentially making it free? Or does it only work for movie rentals and not tv shows?

 

[intoxicated662]

Lies, I got the email and there is no redeem code in the email. I think it's one of those deals where you purchase a movie with your ms points on your account then you get 160 points added back to your account later on.

yeah real girlfriend friendly movies here

 

[clickpow]

not so free ,....

 

[lawz1288]

Thanks. I keep it at a lookout.

 

[Donnums]

I got this E-mail and was excited to get the points....until I saw you had to rent a movie from them.

 

[GamerKingFaiz]

I got an email with no code. But it seems like what you need to do is go to the "Spotlight" section on the dashboard, and then there will be a specific place that you go to and it'll have specific movies set out. You buy one and watch it, enjoy.

Few weeks later, MS will reimburse you.

About right?

So is it only good for these movies? Pretty lame...none of those are very romantic. Was hoping there would be some 80pt videos that could net a "profit".

 

[Unrealevil]

Lame deal that I don't even get access to, even though I've paid for at least four years of Live, collectively. They're really going all out...

 

[killer9]

not a deal at all

 

[hypertails02]

Dude read the e-mail...
"Watch a movie with your someone. When you do, we'll give you 160 microsoft points"

This means when you purchase an expensive movie rental from Zune, they'll give you the points. Only a "deal" if you planned on watching a movie anyway.

 

[D0RC]

I'm reading you can get the points by watching something off Netflix in a party?

 

[goatwoody]

I'm sorry for the confusion.

Just check your e-mail. Some will have free codes and some will not. Do not purchase a rental on live expecting to get points. That is not how it works. This is like the Fallout 3 e-mail they sent out weeks ago. In some of those, some people got free points.
