This isn't a bad deal if there's enough solid DLC out there. I might now have a reason to pick up Limbo...

Damn! I spent 2800 points yesterday - I wonder if they will let me take part of this promotion anyway?

[HansiHusten]

Im still waiting for my 1200 Points in return I bought all summer of arcade titles..... so wtf?

Spend the points now, then they ban you, then you have to buy another box to obtain your free points!
Good plan MS!!

I called the support in Sweden and they had NO idea what I was talking about. The guy I talked to even went and spoke with some teamleader and he hadn't heard of it either. I gave them the direct link and they were very surprised.

Anyway, they didn't give me any points back. I thought they could do it as "good-will" as I've spent just over $1100 on XBLA games and other DLC (subscription fees not included), but NOES.

Cheap bastards.

LOL it doesn't effect me but I don't spend that much money on DLC overrated rubbish anyway but I think the PR department needs to bash heads. It reminds me of this,

This is how dumb people can get when they release such statements,

while supplies last? supplies of what? electrons? 1's & 0's?

[iwanttheagrocrag]

Time to pick up some more Forza packs and maybe some community/indie games.

[vokal4]

It'd be a solid deal if it wasn't for the lame stipulations involved. Examples:

• 1 per person
• received AFTER the promotion period
• takes up to 4 weeks to process <--- why? when I buy points at FULL PRICE, they come in immediately.
• ..."while supplies last" <---Someone explain that please. lol.

For the uk theres no mention of it on the uk xbox site. I know it "seems" to be for uk residents too but why not advertise it on the dash or something, Hmmm want to invest but need to be sure....
