You'll need a MS passport account and your store number.

Only MS games/accessories are available.

squidget 10-24-02 01:10 PM

yeah but the charge you a s & h and some other fee...
its not too bad on the games it comes to be about 9 dollars for the games listed, but the accessories its still 9 dollars and thats not that much lower then what retailers can get it for cost

still cool though

jrutz 10-24-02 01:31 PM

Which games are offered? And I don't suppose anyone would want to offer to pick some up for me? ;)

Gizmo 10-24-02 06:08 PM

Hmmm... I will HAVE to do this tomorrow...

quietsoul 10-24-02 06:45 PM

Wouldn't be interested in helping an Otter out, would ya?

Pasco 10-25-02 01:38 AM

It took a while, but I just nabbed a copy of Halo and Quantum Redshift for under $13.00. Much better than the usual $100.00 retail. Worth the time and effort. The questions are pretty easy.

dvdmovie1 10-25-02 06:14 AM

Got Halo & Project Gotham.

Canis Firebrand 10-25-02 06:20 AM

$13 for 2 games?

Man... I need someone to help me out.

I'd love to get Project Gotham cheap.... Redshift looks pretty cool too...

syphon00 10-25-02 09:29 AM

so do u guys "actually" work for a retail place?
or just made it up

alexkat 10-25-02 09:59 AM

Anyone want to trade discounts? I really want Halo, I can offer discounts on games the company I work for makes. Pc games at my company are $10, and console games are $15.

Gizmo 10-25-02 11:05 AM

Alex, I could possibly help you out.

I will get my store number and everything else tonight so I can get some of these games...supersweet...

goLUCKY 10-25-02 11:11 AM

Should I get a part time job, get the games, and then quit! ;) $70 for 7 xbox games....hmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks for the info. ;)


Can you guys get multiple copies?

badlieut 10-25-02 12:24 PM

I'm not sure I understand how to use this. I signed up for a passport account. Then I registered on the training part of the retail site and entered my store number and everything. There was no confirmation or anything. Now it asks for an I.D. number which I wasn't given. I ask to be emailed my I.D. number and there is no confirmation (it just reloads when I submit) and no email is sent.

Canis Firebrand 10-25-02 01:59 PM

Wow.. I'm extremely jealous of you guys able to get cheap games..

Sounds like alex has quite a hookup as well.

Anyone want to help me out? I could offer cash, through paypal, plus $5 extra for troubles...

At this point I'm only interested in Halo

brkhrt7 12-14-02 12:03 AM

Bumping so someone can get some cheap Christmas presents for someone (or themselves). It only took 5 days or so for me to get mine.I would suggest picking up 2 or more titles at once to save on shipping.Some titles have been reduced (Amped,etc.) Halo goes the fastest by far. One of the best deals this year!

beefcake2006 12-14-02 01:56 AM

I just bought an xbox and this is an sweet deal. Anyone able to help me with this? I would really appreciate it....thanks.

Cusm 12-30-02 02:39 PM

Anyone know how long it usually takes? And what kind of varification they do? I am just outside their terminated date grace period but tried it anyway.

How long does it take to sign up? or get the games?
they do database check. For example they have the addresses and store numbers of all the CompUSA's. the address, and the store should match. Sometimes, (very seldom) they do a phone check. Where the call the store number and ask if such and such works there.
btw, the slashed some of the older titles in the way of how many points you need to get them.

Jadakiss 01-01-03 07:49 PM

They also added MechAssault and Shenmue II as two of the titles that you can buy with your points. But Halo is gone.

Edit: Nevermind...they put Halo back on the prize list.
