The U.S. LAB members have finally gotten the hoodies, and they're actually really nice.
[quote name='Coyotezeye']Does anyone else wonder if this "special redemption" will be the last redemption ever? Also I have a feeling they are going to say SHOP is what they meant when prizes would be in stock 24/7. To me if both are true than F That.. Seriously 31000 Points for a PS3. 3000+ Points for a Blu-Ray. Yeah you can gain 2000 points with videos on the double point special. But what then. 2000 is a LONG way from 31000 points. Not to mention they only add a couple of videos at a time. And dont give me this.. you can use your points to get a discount on items. Sorry I can still get it cheaper from other places.[/QUOTE]
That's a possibility, but we won't know until they tell us. They did say that the one time ptz increase of prizes was just that--a one time deal, but a lot of people think they'll increase again soon. There's no way to confirm or deny that, but with how often they are giving out double ptz, it's not out of the question. As for SHOP, I will say it isn't horrible, but it's not the end-all of online shopping. The pricing scheme is a bit off (I have 3,839 ptz and can get a $105 Kid Robot backpack for free, but not a $60 game? Odd...), but I'd say maybe the supply is affecting the amount of a ptz discount you get. Regardless, I'm thinking when they have a handful of nice, cheap DVDs, I'll just unload my ptz on them, but some of the items are really awkwardly priced (The Hangover DVD is $35.... Sheesh...)
