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.RIPComment

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.

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
The best site for solutions for some of the other puzzles is www.anagramssolved.com (flexicon, crosswire, etc)
If you're using Firefox, you can get a cool script here: Microsoft Club Live Hack. that helps you solve the puzzles in less than half the time.
Have fun!
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
the word descrambler

Hope FFR enjoys this and gets some 360s!Last edited by thehuey; 06-28-2007, 12:21 PM.Comment

Re: Attention! Free Microsoft Merchandise!!
Oh... my... god. This is awesome.
I won a halo 2 tournament over here in NC and I got halo 3 on reserve. I'm getting it free too because I won. I don't know have 360 though, but this will help!
