About a year ago, someone here on GW told everyone about Microsoft's promo thing called Live Search Club. You could play games and win points, which you could use in turn to get free stuff, like the Vista Ultimate package or an Xbox 360. But then there were a bunch of cheaters who totally ruined it for everyone by running scripts that would automatically give them points without so much as visiting the website.
Eventually, a lot of people got messages saying they were caught cheating, and emails saying that they weren't getting anything, and everyone forgot all about it.
Three months later, in October I guess, maybe not, I got a copy of Vista Ultimate in the mail. I was confused, but it was cool, and it's sitting on my shelf, unopened and unused.
I forgot about it entirely up until yesterday, when my dad called me. He said I got a package, but I didn't remember ordering anything. I asked where it came from, and I thought I heard him say "Live Strip Club," so I was panicking. I didn't order anything from a porn site- I hadn't even been to a porn site in a while. But he actually said "Live Search Club," So I asked him to open it and tell me what was in it.
It was a copy of Flight Simulator X.
I'm wondering how the hell I ended up getting it, seeing as I ordered it in the summer of 2007. I also won a Zune, so I was hoping that was what would be in the box (maybe later?). I'm not sure why Microsoft would send something THAT late, when it seemed they weren't going to send it at all.
Has anyone else got anything from Live Search Club recently, or ever for that matter?
nah dude i cheated hard and got a headset, and I got it like right after, so.....ditto
Oh man this is SLUG WORTHY. 25k points to win rock band and I've got like 200 points after hours of playing mindless word games.Do the anagram games and go to a scrabble site. They give 20 points per game, and it's hella easy.
