Hey Geezus – are you illiterate?

1. It clearly states “Stay tuned for additional ways to earn tickets once you join the promotion”
2. The controller is 4500, not 5000.

Shame on Microsoft? Looks like you’re just another idiot jumping to conclusions w/o reading the promotion.

“The suckiest bunch of suckers ever sucked…” (c) SearchPerks program that is… Geezus got it right ;)

The contest started 10/1/2008.
They give you 500 pts for signing up.
The Xbox 360 controller costs 5,500 pts.
This leaves 5,000 pts to be earned.
At most you can get 25 pts per day.
5000/25 = 200 (days to get enough tickets).
200 days from 10/1 is 4/19.
The contest ends on 4/15.

There is no way anyone could obtain enough tickets to purchase the controller. Shame on Microsoft for misleading consumers!

Oh, I realized, you need the MS Browser for the Counter that SearchPerks installs.

My friend,
That’s where User Agent Switcher, a firefox add-on/plugin, comes in!
