For some reason, I find it ironic that I see posts from people saying they need to restock.. And others from people who are getting multiple faceplates/gamepacks. If they're running out of prizes, it's because people are hoarding.. The guys on CAG are as bad as the Slickdeals/FW crowd. Sad. And disappointing.

How is it hoarding when it's a random contest? Some people are lucky, others aren't, which is what it comes down to. Had you been in on this for some time, you'd see people were sharing their winning URLs with people, until lurkers started snatching them up.

As for myself, it took me MONTHS of trying before I won a gamepack. The second gamepack I traded points for.

It's not as if there's a bin that says "Free, Take One!" and people are grabbing what they can. :roll:
 
Do you really need more than one copy of a game? You know, I don't think so. What it really comes down to is how can you profit from it? "Oooh, I'll profit from this.." I could probably have won 3-4, but I got one gamepack, and I'm fine with that. I'm sure I could trade them into GameStop, or selll them on Craigslist, but I'm happy with what I have. I'm sorry you don't agree, but don't get mad when people accuse you of hoarding. Because that's exactly what you're doing. Save some for everybody else.

Since you're acting so self-righteous, I'm assuming you played once a day until you got your gamepack?

And for the record, the second copies are going to my brother-in-law for christmas. I didn't, and am not profiting from it. Stop assuming everyone out there is a far worse person than you are, which seems to be your thing, judging by your posting habits.

As far as these faceplates, people can have them. They're ugly and fit like crap.
 
God forbid someone here should actually follow the rules.

You already profited from it, by trading the gamepack for points..

And there's lots of people here on the forums looking for them, so I'd suggest you start PMing them.

There's nothing more angry and more defensive that a hoarder who's been caught. :D

How would he profit from that? He probably traded the gamepack for around 2000 points or something. That's way less than what he would of got if he just sold it.

And anyone could just say "hey I haven't won a gamepack, can someone trade/give me one?" and lie about it. There is no way to track everyone's winnings to see if they're telling the truth. You need to stop complaining about something that you will never be able to fix/change.

Re-read what I typed. I won a gamepack. Two days prior to winning, I traded XBL points to someone for a winning Gamepack code, since after months of trying I didn't win one. So I ended up winning two gamepacks. One is in my collection, while gamepack #2 is going to my brother-in-law for christmas.

I didn't sell a gamepack or profit anything in any way. As said, at least I am honest about it, and wasn't caught.

Please take your rabblerousing elsewhere, since you seem to be trying to get a rise out of people for the hell of it..
 
What to do with faceplates: Donate and get a tax writeoff because MSRP is 39$ according to the sheet. It's about 6$ a faceplate for me.

You do realize that's almost a 200% tax deduction...

How many times did you try?

I was playing in the same time frame and only got 100 points, only tried 50 times though.
 
[quote name='killer9']no clue maybe 100 i won most of that in a row win after win[/quote]

:drool:
I'm lucky to get 100 points in 100 tries.
 
[quote name='nyne7lac']i just tried playing...it didn't work out

0/40[/quote]

Yesterday = 0/250.

A couple days after that = 1 gamerpack 1 faceplate 300 MS points/200

You get some lucky days, and you get some unlucky days.
 
All I've gotten so far is about 800 ms pts and 3 faceplates. Tryed sellin the faceplates but no one wants the. damn those ugly bastards
 
Thanks killer9 for the faceplate :D

edit: wow, right after I pressed submit i tried for the fun of it to use my main account on it, I won another faceplate. Oh well, one to keep and one to try to spray paint :p

edit2: still trying for a gamepack :\ I have forza 2 but I want the fusion frenzy 2 (why not? lol)
 
[quote name='echostormfury']Anyone know anything about VIP consoles yet? I sent an affidavit back in August.. it's now November? Anyone?[/quote]10-12 weeks prize processing.Hopefully,my ViP package arrives before Christmas.
 
got both of my game packs. Just waiting on a faceplate and hoping I win something again. A 360 would be great... a gamepack would be ok I guess; 100 points would be preferred.

Yo guys, I just saw this (new to Cag). I actually won a faceplate on my first try (is that luck or everone gets it?) lol. Anyway, I was wondering if shipping was free or what, cause as said before the faceplate looks ugly and if I have to pay shipping for it I don't really want it lol.

Yep shipping is free. Expect it in 6-8 weeks.
 
200 tries - 1 gamepack which I gave to a friend (I have one already, no need to be greedy.) and 100 MS Points, 200 til I can get Puzzle Quest!
