-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Never got the E-Mail. I can't imagine why.

Real fish might hurt human body. Soffish 100% Harmless! Do not eat!

I called xbox on this heres the jist of it:
1. They send them out in waves
2. Not known if beta key is for early beta (it is possible though, I mean why would they need a code because if this is for hardcore halo fans, you already have ODST, and with ODST when May 3rd comes you dont need a code, assuming its like Crackdown. On top of that they said you STILL need the ODST disc WITH the code [according to the xbox guy i talked to]. I'm thinking this is like the Halo 3 beta where 10,000 people got the beta a week or so early. But that is my assumption.)

And from what i saw, this guy got it with 5 games of halo 2 and he was playing on a brand new account on a xbox 360.

yea i think they selected a few maybe couple hundred people or something. it dosnt seem like that many people got it. and iv had this acount for so many years. and i have like 3500 halo 2 games. but no one know why were lucky to have been chosen. all i know is im lucky and iv been playin halo for so long. and microsoft is awsome for rewarding its fans.

COULD I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE.

I'm starting to think that this may be a US-only thing.

EDIT: Thanks for the ruling that possibility out.

For those people who don't know how to claim the offer...

Go to your email that is linked to your xbox 360, xbox live account that you played halo 2 on. Then find the email. It will say the message posted. Now you know you got it. Go to your XBL messages, look for "LIVE" this is the xbox live offer. It has a code for the points and live. So go ahead and use it and enjoy. At a later time the beta message will be shown to you.

Look on your xbox messages in that green dashbloard area right when you log-on without a game disc in.

I've played almost 500 games, but my last one was may 2008, I haven't got an e-mail though, so maybe it's been so long...
Re-downloading the map packs now though, to take part in the farewell party on 14th of April.

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

So... If I were to play today, could I still qualify for this give-a-way? I had to pry this out of my lost video game collection.

  • 03.07.2010 1:27 PM PDT

Thnx MS, your off my naughty list. FOR NOW

That's not true.

I've played ODST and received an email.

  • 03.09.2010 3:12 PM PDT

yeah I got this message, but I didn't get any stuff on XBOX LIVE. Might be fake, but we have yet to see.

The months automatically add to your account. They don't give you a code for that.
