"Free Reward Pack - 4 Games and a Controller?"

yup It's true, I've managed to get 4 games and a controller out of Microsoft and here is my story;

1. Phone HelpLine to check if i can have 3 games like Wookie told me, they say it's fine.
2. Order XBox Reward Pack like every other XBox owner, send off application form asking for 3 games and no controller. 3 Games are:
PGR
OddWorld
Amped Snowboarding
3. 34 days later(today) get Pack with DOA3, Amped and controller.
4. Unpack games and controller to find out they are in German (!) and I have the wrong games :(
5. Call HelpLine Tell them my problem
6. Spend 15 mins listening to dodgy electronical music
7. Get told i can keep everything i got sent and I can have another 2 games of my choice!
8. Find out that German games are only in German packaging and work perfectly in English on XBox.
9. Hurridely tell parents and brother.
10. Over the moon.

There you go, that's the amazing story of how Nid (me) got 4 games and a controller as a customer reward pack.

:-D

Is it an 0800 number? That would mean MS were paying for the calls, and we could bankrupt them my calling lots of times! ;-p

Hehehehe.

But then I'll phone again. And jump to the front, meaning you'll all have to ring again.

Anyone would think MS are just made of money...

A friend of mine received his 2 games and controller today. I think he posted his form on the 27th of April.

Oh, don't you worry my mom is going to ring up and kick up a big fuss. She is also ringing the local and national press and then contacting someone high up in Microsoft and complain further. 50 days is disgraceful and I am really annoyed!

I phoned up today. My order is being processed, and I should recieve it by the 7th June but "expect it sooner".

So far, anyone I know has recieved their pack two days after phoning. Which might mean when they put your details in to check, it jumps you to the front of the queue. It has happened to everyone I've heard of who phoned. Hmm....Strange.

As for you garbe, I'd phone up and kick up a fuss. Maybe wright an official letter of complaint to them... 50 DAYS!

I was told last saturday on the phone that they have sent them out and I should get them before this weekend! If not I am taking laegal action on them it is now nearly 50 days!

A friend got his today. He asked for 2 games and the DVD remote, but they sent 2 games and the controller.

He phoned them and they are sending the DVD remote... and he can keep the controller.

It's very good of MS, but it must be costing them a fortune!

how long on average does it take to recieve your package
when u send an application by post? ive been waiting 2
weeks so far 4 mine
