Download codes for individual songs. You've got less than 48 hours. Choose wisely and quickly.

I know time is up really really soon. If anyone has any Wii songs that they have not redeemed yet, I'd be interested in purchasing some points from you in bulk for cheap. Better to get something than nothing, right? PM me.

It gives you codes for the specific songs. You have to pick your songs by tomorrow or you will lose them. It will give you code when you pick and also email it to you. I think you have until the end of the year to put in the code and download the song.

Re: The Official Pepsi caps/Rock Band thread!

Well, we've hit the final 24 hours. No Wii points available, so I had to cash in my last seven songs. Here's what I ended up with:


"Garden" - Pearl Jam
"Release" - Pearl Jam
"Crawl" - Kings Of Leon
"Gimme Three Steps" - Lynard Skynard
"Sex on Fire" - Kings Of Leon
"The Number of the Beast (Original Version)" - Iron Maiden
"Hey, Johnny Park!" - Foo Fighters

For the first time in two months, my hospital cafeteria filled up the soda cabinet with yellow capped pepsi products this morning, including Diet Pepsi for the first time.

Re: The Official Pepsi caps/Rock Band thread!

I spent the past 2 nights going listening to excerpts from all the available songs to figure out which 51 songs I was going to choose for my PS3.

I finally picked them all last night and got all my codes.

In all, it probably took me about 5 hours to go through it all. It was more difficult to pick than I had expected ... and I am really glad I listened to all the tracks first, as I found songs that I either knew or really liked that I did not know the name or artist and would not have picked otherwise.

I'm pretty sure they don't have to redeem their Wii points by today.

Re: The Official Pepsi caps/Rock Band thread!

My original plan was to use the codes to replace the DLC I lost in moving my music gaming needs from the Wii to the 360. Instead I only replaced a couple of songs I knew I could not be without and the others were all new.

Even with only 10 codes it took me about an hour to decide on which ones to get. I cant imagine having 51 codes to sort and choose thru with only a few hours to go now.

Maybe they saw that you were just emptying all of them into the drain and saving the caps, so they held them back.

Well, I think you give them too much credit. It was the perfect crime -- I snuck into empty bathrooms and poured away. There were no witnesses (that I'm aware of). Besides, I would have actually choked down the Diet Pepsi.

BTW: Nice song choice, Pinata.

I've got a $5 Amazon promotional credit, good for use towards anything on this list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000407851

I'll trade it for somebody's unused Wii points.

Final list. Ended up with 108 wins, but gave 3 away. Here are the 105 I kept for me. Averaged about 70 cents each because in the beginning I was paying $1.39+tax each. Took too long to find $1 and $0.58 cent bottles. Got 17 from day care for free, found 7 from various places, and was given 12 from other sources. So those really helped bring my average down.

Re: The Official Pepsi caps/Rock Band thread!

I know the contest is over but its strange to see them still distributing these special caps in retail.

Anyone know anyone that works for Pepsi or HMX on what the final numbers are for how successful this promo was? Yeah we can all say as RB fans it was successful for us but I wonder what the real bottom line numbers are.

Re: The Official Pepsi caps/Rock Band thread!

Anybody on a Playstation have an issue when redeeming a lot of codes in one session? ... or an issue with codes not yet being activated?

I have 51 codes that I just received on Tuesday.

I entered 13 codes on Wednesday ... and I was going to enter the rest tonight.

After entering EXACTLY 30 codes today, all the remaining codes were coming up as invalid. So, just my last 8 codes are not working.

I am wondering if PSN has some limit on how many codes you can redeem in a day. I am going to try them again in a day or two to see if they work then.
