Happy Bonus Day! (Unexpected winnings)

[NoahsMyBro]

For the last 3 weeks or so I've been busier at work with client projects/problems than I can remember ever being before, and I've spent far more time than usual away from my office, my home, or DP for that matter.

When I arrived at my office this morning, I found a box sitting on my desk, with a return address that was meaningless to me.

I dealt with a couple of pressing tasks, and then opened the box. Inside were a handful of XBOX360 games, as well as Halo 2 for the original Xbox, and Fable for Windows PCs. The accompanying letter congratulated for winning the prize in an MS promotion tied to some online training courses I took several weeks ago. As Wayne or Garth might say, "EXCELLENT!"

Now I just need to win an XBOX 360 somewhere and I'll be set.

Wow, that's a pretty cool prize. I'm always way to lazy to do something to enter those so it's nice to see that people actually do win.

what 360 games did you get?

[NoahsMyBro]

Xbox 360:
Forza
Tenchu 2
PGR4
Gears of War
Kameo

Xbox:
Halo 2

Win PC:
Fable: The Lost Chapters


Iirc, the contest simply required that I take an online training course. I took one that taught how to create Vista Sidebar gadgets/widgets/whatever they are called. It was a lot easier than I expected.
