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

Only MS games/accessories are available.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
