Anyone want to nab 350 Free Microsoft Points?
Jaren Face | 10:37 PM on 10.08.2008 46 comments


I’m not sure if anyone remembers, but that MSN Auto Dreamcar Microsoft Point Promotion recently just sent out their Microsoft points for those who “designed” their dreamcars earlier this summer. I guess I missed the fine print saying that the MSPs were region specific with that reason being the United States.

Instead of going to the trouble of creating an American Live account to use them, I thought hey, maybe someone on Destructoid might want them.

At first I wanted to send them over to the RFGO! Team for being the first podcast to introduce me to the world of podcasts, a thank you for the addiction if you will. But then it occurred to me that I only had 350 points, and it wouldn’t really be fair for three people to get 100, while one gets 50 and the last get none. Plus 100 MSP sounds like a shitty thank you.

Moving on, since I was planning to buy one or two Rock Band DLC tracks with those points, I was thinking of having a little contest asking people to post their Rock Band characters, and my favourite would get the points. Then I realized this is sort of a lot of trouble for a measly 350 points, so that went down the drain.

Finally, I thought I’d just do it the old fashion way, one lucky commenter will walk away with a very awesome 350 Microsoft Points. I’ll leave this up for a day or so then choose a poster at random. Easy as that.

Once again, all you have to do is leave a comment for a chance to nab some (350) free Microsoft Points! The MSP can only be used on an American Xbox Live account, so keep that in mind.

If you read through my life story, then I applaud you for that. So get posting while I start studying for my web studies test next week.

Update: Two days later, well...



Thanks for everyone that took interest. If ever there's another contest where I'm able to score some free MSP that I can't use, the Cblogs will be there first place I try to dump them.

Any idea how I can have 20 points left on my account? It's such a useless number of points.

+350 would help.
