Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

OK...I came across this site the other day that is run by Microsoft. You do these little games that require you to use there search engine. This takes a while seeing as the max points for the games is 25 per game. However, if you do this when your bored/ have nothing to do it's not that bad.

There is one game called chichionary where you have to descramble letters into words. I use this game and a word descrambler to cheat and get 20 points per cleared round. However, there are only a certain amount of rounds of chichionary available right now so once you complete them it will take a while for them to come out with new rounds.

The site itself

Hope FFR enjoys this and gets some 360s!

UPDATE! THERE IS A NEW BOT AVAILABLE HERE IS THE LINK http://livemacro.110mb.com/index.html
it is currently working

AS FOR THIS ONE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE IF ANY OF YOUR TICKETS ARE VOIDED. (if i were you, right when you get the required amount for the item of your choice i would purchase it instead of saving up tickets)

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

i don't want a 360 though..i would like more games for GC please.

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

sweet i just signed up
time to get an xbox360!!!

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

well i don't see how you couldnt trust it... microsoft is the one making money off of this..they are getting paid when you use their search engine. Just think how hard that game would be without the word descrambler. It would be almost impossible to win anything good without cheating lol.

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

This is actually, really, really cool.

I've been wanting a 360 for a while, too. Killer.

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

KOOL..

I'm with whoever said that they wanted a zune.. I accidentally fried my last mp3 player by sticking it into this mac :-(... I need another one, but they are all so expensive-- I'll go for the ZUNE!! :-P

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

You guys had better hurry... no doubt there'll be an "Out-of-Stock" on that 360 soon enough... xD

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

28 tickets and counting

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

254 and counting.

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

so, i did a little math. based on ebay prices, the zune is the best value to get for the points and then re-sell. the only 2 items worth getting just to re-sell are the zune and the xbox 360.

if you price the zune at 150 + 15 shipping, it works out to about 121 points per dollar. if you price the xbox360 at 250 + 30 shipping, it works out to about 125 points per dollar.

so roughly, 120-some points is = 1 USD. which makes sense, given that 1 song costs 125 points. there really isn't a big market for the other items, and things like fable and project gotham 3 are already flooded on the market.

so, if you actually want to do this, your best bet is the zune. then playing that chicken game, you're getting roughly 20 points per minute (i haven't timed it, but it does get repetitive and what not. plus 1 minute is an easy number to use). that's 1 USD every 6 minutes or so, or about $10 an hour.

so, yes. assuming you then spent 50 minutes playing per day (since that would max your 1000 points a day), you'd be getting about $8.33 a day. And it would take 20 days for each Zune. and finally, about $165 every 3 weeks, factoring out 1 day of rest or other such nonsense.

not something you could make a living off of... but if you have 1 hour every day of "man, i have absolutely dick to do...." you could do this.

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

It's not limited to 1000 points a day. I've gained 4,037 tickets so far.

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
 

oh yea i got that wrong on the 1000 points thing, but after you play chictionary for a while it is out of levels... so it might take a little longer to get that 360 or zune than i thought sorry guys.
