[/QUOTE] Full Story: xbox360fanboy.com | xbox.com

so seventh place only gets a 3 month live subscription and 8th place gets a one year gold subscription????

I'm 19, but i made my gamertag when i was under 18, and the site tells me that I'm underage and can't sign-up for the sweepstakes...anyone else have this problem?

I guess this way last place is more appealing.

This is all messed up, a rockstar baseball hat over 1 year subscription?

Non Usa = outta luck

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States (includes the District of Columbia) 18+. Game ends April 14, 2008.

I don't even know why I even bother with these sweepstakes...I never ever win any of these things...

hah im sorry, i usually win at online things.... i dont know how.....

Because it was easy to sign up. Just go on with your life and don't think about it and you won't have a problem. One day, maybe they'll call you out of the blue and it'll be a nice surprise. If not, you wasted 30 seconds of your life.

Their prize list is all jacked up. Even the official rules list the prizes in the wrong order.

Id want a year of LIVE free rather than a baseball cap.

On another note, that was probably the least painless internet sweepstakes I've ever entered. I bet I'll get a ton of Rockstar emails even though i didn't check the boxes.

[ ] Check here if you would not not not like to recieve emails about our new products.

Grrr no UK

I think the first prize is first, then the rest are in reverse order. I mean, why would someone want 3rd place over 4th?

People getting pissed about the prize list being in disorder
It's not like they'll call you and say something like: "You won! Which prize do you want? Do you want the first prize or the last?"

kinda guessed it would be US only........

Gotta love US only contests. Really, WHAT.THE.HELL., I'm right over the friggin border in Canada, does it cost that much to send it the extra like 30 miles?

Anyways, good thing I know somebody, just signed up with their address.

Again MS proves that they think that US = the whole world. Really tired of this crap now, it's always the same story... why can't everybody compete ffs.

The main reason its US only is because of legal reasons......each country has different tax stuff........and legality on giveaways

with customs/international paperwork, probably.

It actually says a rockstar baseball BAT.

Are we supposed to use it to smash people's brains in and steal their car?

Its gonna cost me about 10 dollars to go retrieve this package assuming I win. It's like 6 or 7 bucks at the border and then 2 dollars to pick the package up at the location I specified as "my address".

If they're giving away a 70 dollar Live! subscription, 10 bucks is whats setting them off? And they don't they have offices or what have you in Canada?

Oh but I forgot, it must cost alot of money to send packages from that far off other galaxy of the United States.

Seriously its not even 30 miles.

Me too, can't see the page even after multiple tries.... USA..hmmm..

Edit: I guess not sorry.. after you get through the registration it goes to the same "not found" page.

What about the Irish. They always forget the Irish

Yeah, I saw that too. I'd rather have the RockStar bat than a year of live. It'd be cool if its got the GTA logo on it, maybe a screen shot, or box art on it.

Here is a working link: https://live.xbox.com/en-US/signup/SignupLi...45-69c6cfa0929e

USA! USA!

Canadians are finally included... here is the link to enter.

One Grand Prize: One winner will score a four-day/three-night trip for two to New York City to attend the Xbox LIVE Gold Party - Obviously First place

Ten First Prizes: Custom Xbox 360 Elite console - Second place

Five hundred Prizes:500 Microsoft Points - 7th place

One Thousand Prizes:1000 Microsoft Points - 8th place

Two hundred Prizes:1600 Microsoft Points - 6th place

Five hundred Prizes:One-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription - 5th place

Two Hundred Prizes:Three-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription - 4th

One Hundred Prizes:One-year Xbox LIVE Gold subscription - 3rd place

Placing is almost always determined based on quantities. i.e. Last place wouldn't be a 1 year Gold Live subscription. Just doesn't make sense.
