Mechassault and Shenmue 2 for that cheap, sorry to be a leech but would somebody like to help me out? I've been looking at picking these games up for a while, but have yet to find a good deal on them. I could pay through paypal. You can email me at [email protected] Thanks in advance if anybody can help.

K.. I know this will be a long shot, but if anyone wouldn't mind ordering Project Gotham Racing and MechAssult for me, I would pay for cost + shipping + round up a bit to make the deal nicer.

I did it, very cool what you can find on the internet.
I found an address and a store number for a game shop.
:)

Mech Assuault, Shenmue 2, and a cap for 17 bucks.
Not bad

Thanks

Lets see... you pay approx $10 for it, use it and then want to unload it for $40.. yeah.. I'm all over that... ;)








j/k and giving you a hard time because I always read about these kinds of deals that I can't partake of.

And I don't even know anyone that works for a retailor that I could have order games for me.. Sucks to be me. :(

UT OH !!! Too late for me. I think I hear Bill Gates and his XBOX Police knocking on my door.

Seriously though, not that I condon submitting fraudulent info to obtain substaintially discounted merchandise, but the worst they could possibly do is try to make you pay full MSRP. This would be too costly and not worth their time as would checking 100% of the orders to see if they are from actual employees of a gaming retailor.

actually, if anything they would shut down the site for good.
which means those of us are legit would screwed over because of scammers.

this happen with a discount program AMD had a few years ago.

I don't know if they would shut down the sites for good. Bill Gates has a ton of money and games are next to nothing in cost of production. Also I am sure Microsoft would be pretty happy to see a lot of people learning their products in-depth enough to take a quiz on. Not to mention none of the products you take the quizzes on are available in the Prize Shop, you have to play full MSRP ;).

I used to work at best buy and was on this site but they never had anything to buy. I had accrued points however. Can I still redeem points and use my previous employment to my advantage? I'm just affraid of getting a law suit slapped against me from trying to get mech assault for 9 bucks.

Matt 01-11-03 11:28 AM

Got an e-mail from the XBox Retail site yesterday. It was a short survey, asking some basic questions, mostly about some XBox newsletter, and it also had a spot to make suggestions about the site.

Best part is--complete the survey, and they credit 50 points to your account.

So, XBox retailing guys, check your e-mail. . . :)

bunzpor 01-11-03 05:22 PM

Anyone willing to pick up Halo for me I will pay for it plus shipping

edytwinky 01-12-03 01:31 AM

No more MechAssaults! :(

Not A N00b 01-12-03 02:35 PM

sweet deal. I work at gamestop, so it was easy to get set up. Shenmue 2, Halo, and Amped for $17 :D

Only thing is now I only have 160 points. Anyone know how often they add new quizzes and such to the site?

Trigger 01-30-03 03:57 PM

this is a sweeter deal than MS employees get.

you wont get hit with a lawsuit.
yes you can still order, because they never de-register people for not using.
if it comes up, they will ask for your latest paystub, if you don't have one they will cancel your order, and terminate account

btw, mechassualt is back instock

from what i noticed they come up every month or so usually 2 or 3 at time. its not very consistent.

tygloalex 01-31-03 01:23 AM

I would also like a Halo, or Inside Drive 2003. Definitely will pay for cost and shipping and a few bucks extra.

dgc 05-13-05 07:59 PM

FYI - Jade Empire in stock at the prize shop.

Talk about dusting off an old thread... :D

dgc 06-27-05 08:43 PM

FYI - For those few that don't already have it, Forza Motorsport is currently in stock at the prize shop. Gotta love $9 games...
