But since they give all points back to the people that don't win, all auctions are going to end up going for 100,000 points or more. My only shot is the daily giveaway sweepstakes that each code gives you one entry for and then you can apply to a sweepstakes. I have 2 entries in for the one today.

Well fuck, that's even worse. Once you spend your points to try and win, they should be gone.

That would suck. What if ebay took your money even if you lost an auction lol.

You aren't buying something, they're basically raffle tickets. You toss them in and try and win.

Exactly... This is basically raffle tickets. Once they are allocated, they should be gone. Give more people a chance to win.

About half the auctions closed for the day.. Average cost to win is like 65k points.. Some auctions went for over 100k. most around the 50-75k range from what I saw.

Submitted for the sweepstakes. The red ring was a nice touch.

These are auctions not raffles. Having the most points is a definite win unlike a raffle where you could still lose to someone that has only one entry.

Oh shit. Got that too just now. KI was THE game I was pumped about so that'll work out just fine for me.

Saw some gaming reviewer, I believe, post this image on Twitter. Looks like some lucky, likely very few people, are getting this nice email.

I didn't get either email. Shame on you, MS. Cancelling my pre-order.

Xbox Music will be "free" for Xbox Live Gold members. It will include ads though. But that's better than nothing.

Suddenly not supporting MP3s becomes a non issue.

Well, if anyone isn't going to use their KI codes (you know, because you're not getting an XO), feel free to PM me the code.

No code for me either, but my gamerscore is really weak, and my Live subscription lapsed last year.

Re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 
From various Twitter conversation snippets.. for the One console email, you have to have tenure over 10 years and gamer score over 100k at a minimum. I think there are other factors as well, but not sure.

I think I've been Gold for 10 years, but gamerscore is only a bit over 46k.

I got a KI email too and as a) I won't be getting an X1 any time soon and b) I fuckin' hated KI in the 90's, I'll let y'all fight to the death over it.

<-- Gamerscore: 88k

I do believe I have crossed the 10 year mark.

MasterofDVD 11-06-13 10:32 AM

Been on Live since its launch and passed 100,000 a month or two ago. I would of liked Ryse, and and maybe DR3, in addition to a free system but oh well.

<----- pick this guy. He's the coolest. :)

(unless they somehow tie the code to your Live ID. That would make this cool guy sad. :( )

Reading the fine print, it sounds like these will be tied to your gamertag.
