I won an xbox360 system today in the PEPSI Promotion.

[Rogmeister]

I've entered two other games to try to win one...I know it's a longshot so I won't worry if I don't win. If I win, great, if I don't I'll just enjoy the systems I have now and wait for othe 360 to come down to a hundred bucks... LOL

i got my email thing a few days ago.

i am excited,i just would love to know when it will get here and if i is the core package,which is my guess.

Well again I've heard lots of things, but I honestly believe we will recieve the premium package with the HD. The estimate retail price for the package is $580, which includes the PIAB.

[Austin]

Congrats! I wish I had that kind of luck.

People have started recieving their PIAB. I think they're staggering sending them out though. But its a good sign that at least they have started to finally ship them.

[poopnes]

Just a heads up, I recieved my PIAB like 2 minutes ago. Sweet.

[Ed Oscuro]

How many DPers won these? At least three?? Wow.

Damn, should've entered! Microsoft is biased towards classic gamers, after all. :P

[EricRyan34]

I won one!

[Six Switch]

i got the party box thing too.the shirts are all xl...and that is extra lame.

it is called a pun

[Six Switch]

anyone hear any news of when the systems will ship?only a little more than a week left...

[PS2Hawk]

my guess is they will start shipping on monday...

[poopnes]

Still all speculation. But official rules say overnight delivery for receipt on Saturday. But there are rumors that are saying they'll start sending them out Monday or Tuesday ground, but I doubt it. Just keep checking the account history because the little confirmation card said the tracking info would be posted there...

[swlovinist]

I would say saturday. I got my PIAB this last Wednesday. I got a package with all XL shirts. I felt motivated to giving them out, so I gave three to neighbors, one to my boss, and kept two for myself. I am very excited to be getting one this next week!

[Anexanhume]

I'm confused, the only contest I knew of was the everytenminutes one. Is there something else to do with Frito Lay, ie Doritos? What other contests are there?

[PS2Hawk]

I got my xbox360 today they sent me Kameo with it.. are need for speed & madden delayed ?

I only wanted Kameo though...

[Six Switch]

your got yours today?

jesus

[evil_genius]

I have never won anything in my life.

[Six Switch]

I got my xbox360 today they sent me Kameo with it.. are need for speed & madden delayed ?

I only wanted Kameo though...

core system or good system?

[PS2Hawk]

with hard drive and Kameo... they said you will either get Need for Speed or madden but Kameo sweetens the deal...

[Six Switch]

oh man that is such good news.the good system and kameo.i was going to buy kameo today,so much for that.

i hope i get mine tomorrow or somthing,thanks hawk that is great news.

[poopnes]

oh man that is such good news.the good system and kameo.i was going to buy kameo today,so much for that.

Don't forget that PS2hawk won the Canadian contest...no one from the Every10Minutes contest has recieved anything but the PIAB.

edit// And I doubt the American winners will recieve Kameo. The only reason the Canadian winners got Kameo was because neither Madden nor Need for Speed were available when they shipped. Lucky ducks. They still will recieve Madden/NFS when Pepsi recieves them.

[Biff_McFresh]

If only I still ate junk regularly, damn...


Ccngrats winners, enjoy your 360s, I'll join the ranks next tuesday.

I'm sure we will. If not then I will be one sad camper and they'll be one more 360 on eBay.

[ZombieFish]

Congrats, man! I really wanted to win that contest, you are so lucky. :)

[poopnes]

The wait begins...

[Six Switch]

awesome.i am crossing my fingers for the hard drive...

[Mattiekrome]

Starting about 7 am I would get a lawnchair and a case of beer and sit in the driveway with a radio... hells yeah, cant wait to hear what you think of it :D

[Six Switch]

so i just got mine.it is indeed the real system,with the harddrive and everything.i got kameo too,as a card in there says the game i selected will arrive in a week or two.

i already bought kameo,so if anyone wants a factory sealed copy for like $35 it's yours,i'd rather not have to take it to gamestop or ebay.

other winners hope you get yours soon,i'm off to play some perfect dark.

congrats on receiving the system! if your kameo is still sealed, why not take it back to the store you got it from and get a different game?

[poopnes]

Recieved mine today at 9:25. I couldn't sleep at all last night. Now I'm trying to get Live set up through an old hub I have laying around. Its the only way I can split my cable connection. I'll figure it out eventually.

[poopnes]

Um, is it just me, or what's up with my 13GB HD? I thought it was supposed to be 20GB......

[Six Switch]

mine says 12,weird.

can you get on live?it always screws up at the last second for me.i am thinking maybe because the system isn't out yet...or maybe its me.anyways perfect dark is pretty sweet.

edit: so i plugged in my ipod to rock out...and half the sogns don't work.they have little x's next to them and don't play.i put them right into itunes from a cd so i didn't buy them on itunes or anything,so it should work.am i missing something?

Try taking it back to walmart on Tuesday.

I'm trying to get the 360 to connect with Internet Connection Sharing through XP, but still no luck. Its an IP issue.

[Six Switch]

i got on live,it is fun

yay

[Mattiekrome]

Pics guys Pics! Think of us losers that didnt get one! :D

Oh and congrats to both of you! </jealousy>


i got on live,it is fun

yay

Was there anyone else on?

[Six Switch]

not too many,but a few.they said they all won systems too of course.i'll try to take some pictures later.

[poopnes]

Here's some pics. Sorry I hate to say I've been drinking and these were from a Motorola V551 cell transfered through bluetooth to my N-Gage QD. I was going to host them on my Charter account but its down. So they probably suck.

First impressions: The next gen is really here...at least in terms of graphics. I've heard that you wont get the full experience unless you have an HDTV...BULL SH*T. The Live 2006 demo and Kameo prove that wrong. I have my 360 hooked up through composite and its damn beautiful. The arcade games are great...and the free trials are a blessing for poor folk like me. I only wish I had an online game to play. O well. Might buy Gauntlet and play some multiplayer, but I doubt anyone's playing it--everyone's probably too busy playing Perfect Dark 0.

PS// No its not worth $400, but its certainly a blast. Especially when it's free.[/img]

PS2// Xbox live works great if I hook my cable modem directly to the 360. But I still can't get a working network. Argh.

PS3// We recieved Kameo today, but the little card inside the package states we'll recieve our original stated game (either being Madden or Need for Speed) within 2 weeks.

PS4// I can't figure out the pics. I don't care. Maybe charter will come back up and I can post them regularly.

[swlovinist]

Well I got mine today at 9:00 AM sharp. I work at a game store, so I got to borrow Perfect Dark and mine too came with Kameo as a bonus game :). It was pretty awsome. I could get mine to go online with Perfect Dark but not Halo 2(even after downloading the bonus maps. on my 360. The xbox tech said that I would not be able to play Halo 2 online till launch day. Hopefully all the bugs get worked out. I can say that Perfect Dark is no Halo. THE GAME IS SLOW AS HELL. Pretty Graphics, ok gameplay, but overall I am going to have to play more to fully evaluate it. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DEMOS, ARCADE GAMES, AND EXTRA STUFF YOU can download. Geometry Wars is the shit. I like that you can earn credit to buy stuff. I would buy gauntlet for 5.00 to play online with others. The graphics are sharp and not soft like the Xbox. Overall the system is pretty good and alot better in person. Is is worth $400? No, I too would wait. There are going to be alot of good games for the system, but there isnt a killer app for it...yet.

Here is a pic of my system

[Six Switch]

some things to say:

turning on the system with the controller is really awesome,and maybe i am just lazy but i have been waiting to do that.

the headset feels a little weird on my head,but i am getting use to it.

perfect dark is good,but it is a little slow.and no jump button will take getting use to.

when i play on live there is an echo on like,everything.pretty annoying.

the system gets HOTT.like,really warm.

the power source is fucking huge,it even has it's own light.jesus.

the graphics are nice and like everyone said,it is cool to have for free but it is not really worth the $400.

that is day 1

[poopnes]

Nobody's online to play Gauntlet. Man, I paid a good $6.25 for those 500 "points" to buy Gauntlet and I haven't seen anyone online. Sucks.

The 360 does get hot.. There's actually a warning at the end of the english part of the instruction booklet that says if the 360 gets too hot it will shut down and the ring of light will flash red until its cool enough to start playing again. Mines been on for about 12 hours though and no problem.

Currently I have my 360 standing verticaly because I don't have the space for it.

Played through the beginning of Kameo three times now, showing it off to friends. At first I didn't like it, but now its grown on me.

Hexic HD (free game on the HD) is fun and most importantly it was free.

One of the coolest things I think is the ability to play your own music during any game. I know certain Xbox games let you do this, but all you have to do now is bring up the guide and select your music and it will play. Nice. Made playing the 50min Hexic survival mode more enjoyable.

Again I'll mention my HD is showing 13GB... which irks me to no end. I really wonder what's up with that. MS needs to explain this one.

The controller...is...well...meh, for me at least. Its not terrible, but I still prefer my Logitech Cordless for the PS2. But turning the console on and off with the controller. Absolutely awesome. Its just a little thing, but it definately adds to the coolness factor.

The included remote is cool and nice for people who will use the 360 for their DVD player, ie me. Totally out of hookups on the TV and plugs on the power strip.

The 360 honestly is a nice machine. Here's hoping that the games live up to expectation.

[Six Switch]

the music thing is cool,it just keeps screwing up with my ipod.now it doesn't play anything,its weird as hell.

[poopnes]

Ok got XBox Live and my XP comp to share the internet connection. Had do manually enter the IP/DNS settings, but it finally works. Used these two MS support pages to give me generic but avaialable addresses I could use.

Just have to keep the PC awake and on and I have a internet connection for my 360. No problem its always like that.

I'm glad I'm done with that. For some reason that was for sure too hard for its own good.

[swlovinist]

I just got done with my late night round 2 of gaming online with the thing...

Halo 2 now is functional online... and it looks amazing X_x

The upped 720p does make a difference. I was impressed. I cannot wait to play other xbox games on my 360

The xbox arcade is a cool idea. I hope to see more games and stuff.

I played more of Perfect Dark and cannot wait to play others. Quake 4 and Call of Duty are probably better.

Being able to download trailers and demos is going to be awsome. I cannot wait to see more.

[PS2Hawk]

I beat Kameo twice and I must say its amazing. The first time I deleted my game save so I played again. Kameo certianly holds you in as soon as u start playing.... I think its the best launch title...

[Six Switch]

my ipod doesn't work,it just won't play songs.

lame.
weird.

go in Market Place and get the drivers for IPOD, I saw them there.. I don't have IPOD...

[Six Switch]

i looked all over the marketplace,where is it exacly?

thanks though,this would be awesome if it worked.

[PS2Hawk]

go in all download... and there is something like IPOD support

[poopnes]

i looked all over the marketplace,where is it exacly?

thanks though,this would be awesome if it worked.

I don't think you have to download anything, I believe that would be against their intentions of plug and play. I do know that the 360 can not play protected AAC (that's what they're called aren't they?) files. Non DRMed files are cool though.

And as a heads up it will not read ATRAC3 files from my NETMD walkman. I knew it probably wouldn't, but I just had to try. The NETMD showed PC-->MD on the display though.

I stand corrected on the iPod support.

Goto:

Xbox Live Marketplace
Game Downloads
All games tab
Alphabetical List of Games
Optional iPod support

Could they have made that any easier?

more//

The more and more I play Kameo the more I'm beginning to love it. This is a fun game. I didn't like the controls at first, but I'm quite comfortable with it now.

There were some more trailers and themes added tonight.

You can stream JPG's and Music with XP if you d/l the Connect software.

That's all. These up till 4am nights are killing me. :) But I'm loving it.

[Six Switch]

haha yeah i found that ten minutes after i asked last night.and thats awesome,thanks guys now it all works.so yay for that.

i tried to get it to hook up with my computer but i just gave up and went back to pdz.

[PS2Hawk]

You remember the day I made this thread... woot what a joyful day that was, anyways today.. on christmas I was playing Project Gotham Racing 3 and the xbox 360 froze, I hit the power button and it went back to PGR3 ..selected ENZO FERRERI..... and FROZE again.. did it total 4 times on car select and waaaaammm the 3 flashing RED LIGHTS.... the xbox360 is dead!!!!..... I am so sad man .. I just finished school on saturday morning 2:30 am and then went to bed woke up and later was playing PGR3... almost done with the game and now tihs happend ..

[Johnny_Rock]

Your bold text scares me....

But yeah alot of the 360's are doing that.

[PS2Hawk]

I called MS they are sending me a repair box... If I am lucky I might get the 360 repaired in 2 weeks....

Sorry to hear that. Still no problems out of mine. When you send your 360 in, dont' include the HDD. You might get a free one out of it...
