[quote name='tigerpants']looks like the black controller is back, which is awesome, too bad it's nearly twice the points it used to be.[/QUOTE]

Holy shit!! That is not a good sign for previous items coming back :(
 
FFFUUUUUUU

the day I earn enough points to cash in for the controller is the day it doubles in price.

EDIT: quick newb question. for the double points day, does the double points start at 6 pm (i'm central time zone) the day of, the 27th, or the day before, the 26th?
 
[quote name='killer9']since it cost more i wonder if you can order it again i got one before[/QUOTE]
It has the same URL/PID as the previous listing, so it is still the same prize, just a different price.

That gets debated every double ticket day.

According to the web site, it is midnight-to-midnight PST. So, 2am CST on the 27th through 2am CST on the 28th.

But according to the emails it is midnight-to-midnight UTC (i.e. reset to reset). So, that would be 6pm CST on the 26th through 6pm CST on the 27th.

Based on my testing, it has been UTC for the past few double ticket days. But not everyone agrees.

Course, there have been times that I got incorrect number of bonus tickets -- sometimes none, or 400 instead of the full 1000, and once I even got 3000 bonus tickets. Which just confuses the issue even more.

So, your best bet will be to try to max your accounts between 2am CST (midnight PST) and 6 pm CST (i.e. midnight UTC) on the 27th. That way, no matter which one is actually correct, you will still qualify for the full bonus ticket amount. Whether or not you will actually get them, a few days later, is an entirely different issue.

Since the points reset at 5 PST, do you get double tickets for tickets redeemed after 5 PST. Since it is possible to get 2000 tickets from 12AM to 11:59 PST, will you then an extra 2000 tickets?

I've personally never gotten extra points, apparently it has happened a few times but i wouldn't count on it
 
Wish they would add the red controller w/ play and charge kit. That would be worth the 8000 tickets, but I'm going to pass on the black one now, even though it would look nice with my Elite.

I'm hoping they eventually bring back that North Face Jacket for men. Would like that more than anything else they currently have up there.

If you want the controller, and have the tickets...I'd get it. You never know when/if they will bring it back, and as this ticket increase has shown how many tickets it will cost.

I was on the fence with the camcorder, and waited a day to think it through...the next day it was gone, and I've been kicking myself about it since.

Yeah, the price jumped from 4,500 tickets to 8,100 tickets. It would've been cool if it was the black controller pack with the play and charge kit for 8,100 tix. But JUST the old controller at a higher price? SERIOUSLY, Microsoft?! :roll: Is anyone else thinking that IF the Xbox 360 makes a return, it's going to be like 60,000+ tickets (or something higher than that) for the SAME '06 refurb model? :nottalking:

60,000 tickets is a lot. Does anyone remember the max amount of tickets you can even get from one account over its lifetime?
 
I don't actually need the controller. I have two plus one of the PC ones still in the plastic packaging. One black and two whites. But, a red one would make me grab one in a hurry since they were supposedly limited editions. Plus, red is hot.

If they continue to have double ticket days twice a month and you play every day, you could get approximately 112,000 in three months just from the anagram games.

I've been playing almost every day since around August and have already maxed out Chicktionary and Word Slugger. All I have left is Spelling Bee :whistle2:#
 
[quote name='GamerKingFaiz']Oh wow, it actually employs phase cancellation? I learned about that last year in Physics, hah. I thought they just cancelled out the noise by being big around the ears and stuff, so much for that.

SO I presume you could still use the headphones without batteries, you'd just have to give out the phase cancellation technoloogy?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I got this set from my brother for either Christmas or a birthday or something a while back, and I love em. Even without the cancelation they work fantastic. On a related note, I haven't bothered to put a new battery in for quite a long time now so I have likely been having them off by default for without really noticing it :p

As for comfort, they fit my large head quite well for a foldable pair, and they are very adjustable for different sizes. Folded up they take probably about half the space they do when open, but my favorite part is that the odds of twisting the arms/speakers and causing a moment that could break anything is greatly reduced making them safe for travel.

Edit > On a side note, turning the noise canceling on in a quiet room creates white noise, but in a noiser area it works great. This is kind of annoying, but also nice because you can tell when you should just turn it off.

Yea at almost double the original amount of tickets. Inflation is alive and well my friends.
 
how would you mind anyway? we are getting free stuff for playing games that Microsoft probably is illegally obtaining the market of search engines with lol
 
[quote name='CaptainKirk']how go you guys get tickets so high?

I have to save up like a WHOLE year to get one of those old Xbox 360 games[/QUOTE]



A whole year?? you can get 1000 tickets a day and the games are like 4950.
 
It goes much quicker if you keep a word list on the screen. Just type that out. You can get 20 tickets in a couple of minutes.
 
[quote name='CaptainKirk']Yall have to be cheating!

you get like 20 tickets a game!, aint no way you rack up in the high thousands![/QUOTE]

LOL! Not much of a Gamer eh.

Sir, how dare you make such acquisitions! In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm kind of a big deal on the Internets.

:D
 
hey to anyone who had a prize sent back...did they ban that account and/or address?

i dont know why they would but someone told me they ban their account for it...i dont understand how that makes sense since they just refunded my tickets for the sent back camera. why would they refund the tickets if they ban the account?

No, they don't ban the account or address. You get your tickets refunded. That is all.

[quote name='jumpercable']EDIT: once again my idiocy shines through double tickets= double on the games, not double the max.[/QUOTE]
Actually you don't get double the tickets on the games, and you don't get double max either...

In a couple days from now, you will see a new line-item in your list of tickets for 'bonus tickets', that is where they show up. They will match the number of tickets you obtained on the bonus ticket day, and the max you can get is 1000 bonus tickets.
 
I know this has probably been asked before but do we still get double tickets after the reset(7pm EST)? I was busy today and didn't have time to play but if there's like 5 more hours left then it's ok.

Double tickets runs from midnight to midnight, so yes.
 
[quote name='jumpercable']aww, screw them.

I got enough points to get the inflated price of the black 360 controller, and what?

they remove them.[/QUOTE]

Same here. I'm still saving for the GPS, but I figured I'd order the black controller once I got enough tickets. Bing added my bonus tickets today, which bumped my ticket count to just above 8,100 tickets...and then they removed the controller. :bomb: So it was only up for two days total. I'm guessing that's a new record for the controllers (the black one, at least). Everyone make sure to keep an eye out for the black controller again. It might make a VERY quick return soon. :cool:

Just curious if silverjojo08 managed to get his Bonus Tickets?

Why? Because I tested once again, just to be absolutely sure...

I picked 2 accounts to test with (since Bing can be unreliable with their Bonus Tickets sometimes), and I did NOT gain any tickets with them on 1/26 all day (whether PST or UTC).

I waited a short while AFTER the reset at 6 pm PST on 1/27 to start getting tickets on the accounts. Both accounts were max'd by 11 pm PST on 1/27 (or 5 am on 1/28 UTC).

The theory being that this was already 1/28 UTC, so no bonus tickets would have been awarded if they were using midnight-to-midnight UTC...

Both accounts got 1k bonus tickets today.

So, Bonus Ticket Day was indeed midnight-to-midnight PST this time.

Yeah, same here. I was checking the Zune dock's amazon price, to see if it was worth it, but it, at 8,100 points is only worth $10.

looks like the GPS is the only reasonable thing on it.

If you have a zune and a set of speakers, the dock is amazing. Might not be the best ticket/dollar amount, but I highly recommend you get it through bing or elsewhere.

It's also nice because it comes with a usb wall adapter. That way you can travel with your Zune and not have to worry about plugging it into a computer to charge.

edit: I should also mention that the USB wall adapter should work with most USB devices. I know for a fact it also charges an ipod just fine.
