[captain nintendo]

Oooooo , Congrats !

Enjoy that microsoft goodness :P

[DigitalSpace]

Congrats!

[jajaja]

Congrats! :) I remember winning a SNES game once. Its a great feeling to get some new game stuff for free.

[Roi]

Congrats! I won a PSP last week :D 8-) !

[PS2Hawk]

and now the secret how I won.

I saved up codes from 11 pm last night will 10 am this morning. and then I enterned them all through the hour in the draw.


Do not just enter one code in a draw. Also I won the xbox with FREE Code. I only bought 2 2L pepsi's on monday.
There are atleast 2000 entries in each draw. so you better do atlreast 10... Good Luck

[poopnes]

Well I think that makes 3 winners of a 360 so far. Me, PS2Hawk, and I can't remember the other person. I won the Mountain Dew Contest a couple a weeks ago:


Congratulations you are the winner of the 09/22 - 12:00 Xbox 360 sweepstakes brought to you by Mountain Dew.
You will receive your Xbox 360 before it’s available in-stores and will need to provide a signature when it’s delivered. The Xbox 360 is being released later this year in 2005, once the delivery date is confirmed we will post it in your account history so please check back periodically.

In the meantime, during the next few weeks be on the look out for a Party in the Box package from Mountain Dew and Xbox, which includes Hats, T-Shirts, coupons, invitations and more.

Congratulations and Thank you for participating in the Every 10 minutes sweepstakes

Don’t forget you can still use your codes for Collect to Get Gear.

Note: If you would like to change your address, please call 1-877-370-2582 and refer to the number below.

I believe that means November 19th. And its widely assumed that we will recieve the premium pack. I'm getting Madden '06 with mine.

BTW congrats!!

[Lady Jaye]

Congrats, man! I forgot about that promo... gotta get myself some munchies this weekend... :P

Well we won different contests, though both were by Pepsi. I won my 360 through the "Every 10 Minutes" promotion and we actually had to select which game we would like to recieve when we registered.

[PS2Hawk]

o okay man... either way.. we WON.. voo hoo

[s1lence]

Congrats, though I swear you said you hate microsoft.

[PS2Hawk]

Congrats, though I swear you said you hate microsoft.

yea I think I did, but hey, no one else just gives you 700 bones for free... lol

[Slate]

I forgot about those contests!

I'm going to have to give that a try, if i can before it's over.

Anyway, congrats..

[PS2Hawk]

dude try now, its getting very crowded.

[zerohero]

Realy cool man, congrats 8-)

[Jed]

I get it, they're already giving up on selling it, so they're giving them away. Brilliant plan. Congrats though, now you don't have to waste money if you did really want one for some reason.

[THATinkjar]

I get it, they're already giving up on selling it, so they're giving them away. Brilliant plan.

I hope they are the exploding version, too :) I think I'll wait.

[stressboy]

My wife has been saving bottle caps for me. I have entered about 10 times now. I know I won't win, but since I drink Mt. Dew anyway, I might as well try.

Congrats.

[Zing]

and now the secret how I won.

I saved up codes from 11 pm last night will 10 am this morning. and then I enterned them all through the hour in the draw.

You realize that a 1/2000 chance of winning done 10 times is the same odds as 10/2000, right?

The funniest thing is that you get the system a WHOLE HOUR EARLIER than the official release. You get 60 minutes to brag to your friends!

I have been tossing a PIN in now and then, but even if I did win, the system would be on Ebay before I even had it in my hands.

[alec006]

Congrats on the Xbox360 8-)

[Richter]

-.-

i checked the winners board and some dude from my town won one

time for me to hunt him/her down

[SuperNES]

that's awesome. i've been drinking tons of mountain dew for the past few weeks (more than usual) so i can get more codes. by the way, poopnes, how many codes did you enter and did you lump them all into one drawing, or spread them out?

[poopnes]

that's awesome. i've been drinking tons of mountain dew for the past few weeks (more than usual) so i can get more codes. by the way, poopnes, how many codes did you enter and did you lump them all into one drawing, or spread them out?

It took 56 codes to win, 2 per drawing. The stakes are even higher now, so I'd say 4 per drawing. I definetly would recommend spreading them out, but I would just hate to loose a bunch of codes in just "one" try.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

I just threw something like 4X on a bunch of different times, mainly on sunday. 4 codes a time. Two people from Dexter have already won, and thats just insanity. There are so little people here, it really shows how many of these damned things they are just handing out.

[Mattiekrome]

@_@

Grats on that one! Very lucky you are! :D

[Sailorneorune]

Congrats.

I hope to win one myself (will most likely be sold on campus or ebay'd though)... a few people from my area have won already, and thanks to my older brother's constant craving for the green syrup, I have plenty of points to play with.
I opted for Need for Speed.

/not a big Microsoft fan either
//but I do like Fable
///come to my parlour, early adopters

[SuperNES]

coo. i am now going to spend my entire life savings on mountain dew and sit around really really hyper trying to win.

okay, not really. although i just put all 3 of my remaining codes into a drawing. i need more codes.... my Xbox 360!! my prrecciousssss... :eek 2:

[Sothy]

Awesome man.

And you realize anyone talking smack is just jealous right?

[videogameking26]

Congrats man, I was the other 2 win the 10 minutes contest from Mountain Dew, I picked NFS: MW to add with my free Xbox 360 :D

[Stark]

If indeed you get it before launch day you should head over to Gamestop or your equivalent game store and see what sort of trade-in cash they would give you. Just for a good laugh since they wouldn't know what to do. Then sell it on Ebay for double the retail price like everyone else will.

Oh yea, I've thought about doing that. Have to brag a little I guess. But I need to see if they have any games in prelaunch, because I don't think one will be enough.

I've seriously thought about selling it on eBay, but I think I'll hold on to it for a while. It might loose some value, but I'll have some fun, and its all pure profit so...

If you read the contest rules we're supposed to recieve the 360 on the Saturday before retail release, so November 19th. A whole 3 days. Woot.

[PS2Hawk]

"poopnes" are you talking about USA or CANADIAN contest.

[poopnes]

"poopnes" are you talking about USA or CANADIAN contest.

Sorry, USA.

[Mitch_Naz]

Congrats (LUCKY !), wish something like that could happen to me, still not sure if I got the loaded 360 or Core from my pre-order off EB Games (low stock) - Want the hard drive !

Again, congrats and enjoy.

[PS2Hawk]

Well just get ur hands on one for now, I know the harddrive for 100 us is a ripoff but as long as you can get one and don't care about the backward compatibility its all good. I know when I get mine I will most likely be playing HALO 2 again on 360, since I am getting this feeling that perfect Dark Zero might not be that great.

Oh your a fellow Toronto guy, I wont dare go through more gen's using memory cards if I dont have to.

[Six Switch]

wow they are giving more of these away than i thought.

i am saving all mine up for one run,maybe i'l lget lucky but i doubt it.

[captain nintendo]

Awesome man.

And you realize anyone talking smack is just jealous right?

Damn haters and fan boys :/


Congrats to the winners.

fanboys need to shut thier mouths :roll:

Come on Jed you are killing me!!!!!!! It is called advertising.

I'm sure he knows that... ;)

It's funny how Microsoft/Pepsi will get all of the money back ten-fold through this contest. I could see myself buying the system for the amount of money I'd spend on pop alone trying to win. Unless I had the chance to win with only buying a few bottles. :)

So true. Very good marketing ploy by Pepsi. I am sure they have sold more product because of this contest. It's more like advertising on Microsoft's side though.

Yea but I won without buying a single PEPSI or Doritos... I just filled up the surveys.

It's good for everyone involved. I'm usually a Coke drinker, but for this month, I've been drinking Pepsi. Also, I have had very little interest in the 360, but if it's free, I'll give it a go. Who knows, now that I'm paying attention to the 360, maybe I'll buy one someday... if I don't win, that is.

[PS2Hawk]

You should go post that on CAG and watch everyone go crazy. Let them post about 50 messages going "WHY DIDN"T IT GET MINES!!!!1!!1?" and then tell them you won the Canadian contest. That would rock.

edit // None of the US winners have recieved anything besides confirmation...we're lucky to get that.

[hu6800]

You're an official winner* in the PEPSI® and DORITOS® BE FIRST TO PLAY™ promotion!

after years of entering contests here and there I finally won something. I am so happy that no one can imagine.. This is the first time I ever won anything..

I would have Peed alittle after reading that.
The best part about that is dodging the wait .I dont know what a party in a box is, But tell them you want the "Adult version" of it hahah.

[drivefast1690]

Congrats man:P I won mine in the MT Dew giveaway, cant wait for the 19th of November.

[Crazycarl]

i've been entering atleast 2-3 codes a night, wishing just wishing i will win. anywho has anybody noticed nobody from NJ has won, its a damn conspiracy i tells you.

[SegaAges]

me and one of my friends are saving codes together, we are up to about 200 md points.

if we won, we decided we would sell the 360 and split the profits (we could both deal with money instead of a 360)

[SuperNES]

i've been entering atleast 2-3 codes a night, wishing just wishing i will win. anywho has anybody noticed nobody from NJ has won, its a damn conspiracy i tells you.

they have that same damn conspiracy agains us Vermonters. i find it hard to beleive that VT residents drink less dew than any other part of the US.

In other news, i have been drinking TONS of dew lately, and there is now a large pile of caps on my desk. even if i DON'T win, i'm still saving up for that beanie hat.

[zerohero]

Can somebody help me win this free xbox 360. Yea I know we hear about this crap all the time BUT. All you have to do is sign up for the trail and cancel. No money spent at all.

Now think about it. If everyone here did this to help out each other we could all get a free xbox 360. I'm serious as death on this.

[Six Switch]

oh fuck yes
at 4:10am it has my city in all lower case letters just how i entered it.
WOOOOOOOOOO
how long did it take you to get an email or something?i am going to be so let down if this isn't me.

and does anyone know if it is the core system or the good one?

[Dobie]

Its pretty late in the game, but yesterday I came across the motherload for free MD codes. I found a full recycling DUMPSTER full of nothing but plastic soda bottles, some with the caps, some without. When I found it, I didn't dig too much (eww), but I grabbed ten bottles off the top, and nine of the codes worked! I know where I'm dropping by today! First the dumpster, then the bathroom to wash my hands! Again, EWW.

This better be worth the effort. LOL

dude when i lived in vermont mountain dew is the ONLY thing every one would drink! LOL

[ubersaurus]

My dad's friend win this contest, as well.

I haven't even tried the contest. I don't drink enough dew.

[poopnes]

oh fuck yes
at 4:10am it has my city in all lower case letters just how i entered it.
WOOOOOOOOOO
how long did it take you to get an email or something?i am going to be so let down if this isn't me.

and does anyone know if it is the core system or the good one?

It took a FULL 7 DAYS for my confirmation, I had given up hope. But I've heard horror stories of it taking up to 12 days. So just be patient, its all you can do.

[Ed Oscuro]

after years of entering contests here and there I finally won something. I am so happy that no one can imagine.. This is the first time I ever won anything..
Nice, congrats. Would love to see your name change into "360Hawk" (though, no doubt, it'll become PS3Hawk soon enough ;)

[Six Switch]

well i guess i will play the waiting game now

[segagamer4life]

congrats man, I can say I am jealous.. but enjoy,.

[swlovinist]

First, I find a 2600 secret agent proto, then this! I forgot to check my account history page and found out that I won the system on 10/10 at 1230!!!! I am pretty excited to win one, because of my recent job lull, I was not able to even remotely think about buying one. Anyone in the area is welcome to come over and game with me once I have it. I am sure I asked for NFS, since I am not a madden fan. I will make sure to give the system some love on launch day!

[Six Switch]

you mean before launch day.

i am too excited,i better get that email soon.

[poopnes]

you mean before launch day.

i am too excited,i better get that email soon.

I can't wait until they give us an exact date that we will be recieving the system.

[Six Switch]

didn't it say the saturday before launch?

[prismra]

WTF. I want to win. I played the lottery a couple of times and I lost. ...sob... :(

[poopnes]

didn't it say the saturday before launch?

Yeah, but I've heard some many confilicting things from the Xbox/TeamXbox/CAG forums that I don't know what to believe. Pepsi didn't handle this contest very well.
