just got these in the mail (2 mice actually, gave one to my bro)

[klange]

Microsoft makes good mice.

And X11 under Linux has better support for them than Windows.

How long did it take for them to get to you from the time you ordered them?

[jcap]

What colors are they?

[StankBacon]

both black, i ordered them on June 25 or 26th..

so it took about a month...

i got confirmation emails, but never got shipping emails... so i was surprised as hell when they came.

keeping one, other is going on ebay :p

[Heathen]

Whats so special about that? Were they free or something?

[Bad Waffle]

Man, i never got my zune. Very depressing.

I think so, seeing as hes gonna sell one on ebay, why sell something you just bought?

My old ass ipod messed up years ago, bloody battery lasts like an hour and its fully depleated, does that happen with zunes also?

[StankBacon]

yup, free from Microsoft Club Live.

:)

[Heathen]

I broke mine. My ipod I mean. Shitty little thing.

[Heathen]

Whats the catch?

E: Sry for double post.

[Boba]

yup, free from Microsoft Club Live.

:)
Did you earn them? >_>

My zune was brown. :(

[Con]

E: Sry for double post.
US only

[Heathen]

OK, well Im US. What would I have to do to get in on this?

[Limited]

US only
SOB >_<

Damn MS being a US company.

[jcap]

[Heathen]

Thanks Jcap.

:gonk: I cant find the damn Zunes.

[StankBacon]

they aren't up right now... they run out of stock very fast.

i suggest you rack up points now, so when they do put it back up, your ready.

[Blam!]

There has to be a catch. Microsoft's in this for money, aren't they?

[Heathen]

Welcome to the forums.

Also.

I dont think so. Play the lame games. Get tickets. Advertize their products by using them in public.

[jcap]

Playing games will give 1 search query for every correct answer.

Searching for each answer also gives them more search queries.

Those search queries translate into ad revenue and numbers for Microsoft in the search market.

In return, Microsoft is giving prizes for you using Live Search.

[Blam!]

Ah, I get it.

[Limited]

Ahh I remember this now, like a year ago it was posted and you could play games for tickets, it explains why I have 700 odd tickets.

You cant donate ppl tickets can you?

[Corndogman]

What games are the easiest to earn tickets?

I'm currently stuck playing chicktionary with 1 word left to go and its pissing me off.

six letter words using the letters: ERALSEE

RELEASE

oh shit that's seven, does that still count?

Also, REALER or LEASER

[Blam!]

Use the Live search for Chicktionary and search "scrabble word maker" or something similar.

You can click skip, and you still get tickets for what words you have given (if you need like 1 more, you should get like 18 tickets)

[Corndogman]

Yea, I never got the other word, just skipped it. Ive been playing the game a lot racking up points. And i got release, that was the big 7 letter one.

Thanks for those links limited, Cheating on internet games to earn real prizes FTW.

[Limited]

I like to do the PictureThis one. It does involve a bit of luck as another person needs to click the same picture, but you can easily get alot of tickets, I have 407 tickets in about an hour an half.

Also Matt Lauer gets 10 tickets for answering 4 questions, which if you mess up you can retake and will eventually get the answer, so you guaranteed 10 tickets.

[Corndogman]

I'm wondering, when you order something do you have to pay for shipping+ handling, or does M$ cover that too? Also do you have to be 18 to order?

[Heathen]

Lie.

[Corndogman]

Obviously, but I still would like to know about the S&H thing.

[StankBacon]

shipping is free, you pay nothing.

[Corndogman]

Awesome, In a few weeks I'll have me a new mouse and another 360 controller. Just gotta keep matching the pictures with the dude on the other side....

[Limited]

Damn you dogman :( I nearly have enough for 360 controller, but its US only =\=\

[Mr Buckshot]

pfft. Archos makes the 1337est portable media players.

But free shipping & handling? nice.

[StankBacon]

the mouse is pretty bad, i have one that i haven't opened yet... still deciding what to do with it.
