BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was waiting right at 6:00 and as soon as the link came up I clicked it, they were gone.

Hopefully you guys had better luck than i did.

[Nascasho]

WTF!!!!!??? I go at six and i get the message all the points are gone!

[moo_im_a_bird]

Yeh, I kept refreshing and it didnt show up until around 6:01 or 6:02 and then I clicked it and they were all gone.  I'm going to be sooo pissed if I see someone that got several codes again.

On a better note, did anyone here get any?

[kezor]

yea that sucks

[metaldevil]

It worked for me, too.

The rest of you guys should hunt down that greedy clown that was ransoming the codes last time. I'm kidding, but it won't surprise me if one of his "contest" threads pop-up later this evening.

it worked for me.  just keep hitting refresh.  be patient.

What do you mean be patient? Do you mean you got points after the people above said they were already gone? Or do you mean you got them at 6 on the dot from refreshing?

Cuz that's what we did, and patience wasn't a factor, just didn't get in on time.

[atOms]

no, i mean just be patient because i got it to work at about 1820 - 1825.  i'm trying again to get one for my friend.

fyi, the confirmation email says it's one game code per gamertag.

i got mine at 5:22 central 6:22 easter, i got the page that said they were gone too but i kept refreshing and eventually got in, checked my email, clicked the confirmation and bam 500 points

[ILLusions0fGrander]

i've been trying for an hour but all i get is this

"Server Error in '/xbox' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same here, cant figure out how to get around it.

[ILLusions0fGrander]

same here.. guessing the server is flooded!

[atOms]

i refreshed the popup.  but now i'm just getting "runtime error".

[spinr34]

there isn't a way to get "around" a runtime error. they have to fix it.  there were lots of different errors over the last hour and not once did i see the page i was looking for after hitting the submit button. a couple of blank pages, but no email so it didn't finish. ah well, i'm over it.

[deacon187]

just kept clicking come get some, and closed the error page when it errored, i was able to get in one more time but the human confirmation box thing was a big red X, not sure if it picked up my ip and thats why it wasnt visible but i never got in again after that

oh well, im so happy i finally won something in a contest like this, i was always calling radio stations for my wife for tickets and purses and stuff, the one time i try for myself i actually win, its a great feeling
