What kind of a contest gives no prizes? Is MS THAT stingy???

Probably yes. They get to know all about consumer behaviour and don't even shell out at least some prizes.
Disgusting!! I mean they could give Halo away at least! (Now that was sarcastic...)

I am just wondering if my idea wins (If I ruled the gaming world, everyone gets a Xbox for free)

If i ruled the gaming world, I would produce games that i like (and therefore most other people will like, since i'm a model for this and future generations) and make loads of money out ouf it. Which is always useful...

These kinds of surveys are at best worthless, if not taken with a bucket of salt.
The average consumer don't know what they want until they see it, or are forced to see it, and they can't reliably explain what is wrong, with what they already got.
That was discovered way back in the thirties by Disney.
At their test screenings people would say it was the acting that was bad, when it was really the timing that could need some work, and vice versa.
People simply have very bad insight into why and what they feel.

You just blew my cover There're a lot of people on this board who don't like me...That reminds me. I took part in some xbox competition a few years ago. The compo was held by some xbox fansite which name I don't remember (I think the site merged with some site called 'xbox356', or something). It was before the xbox was launched.london-boy said:hupfinsgack said:london-boy said:

I won a second prize, which was the Halo game for xbox. They said I'd get my price as the game is released.
(the winner would get the new xbox, as soon as it was released)
I haven't yet got my price. Is Halo already released for xbox???

Not sure... Maybe we should check websites around the web, i haven't seen it around...
What was the design u made? Go on show us don't be shy!!!
ehh.. I don't have any links to that 'design', as that site that held the compo has disappeared. I might have them on my PC but I won't bother searching for them.
It was a cube like design, looked little like that Apple's cube Mac (and I designed it before I had even seen that cubic mac! They must've seen my design and copied it ), with top slot loading and chrome finish. It was quite simple really.

Yeah predictably queeny
Sorry couldn't resist.... hehe you should see the joypad design I made for that. Looking back at it now, it looks quite phallic for some reason rabidrabbit said:
Missing something at the time? 
I gues it was designed to have ForceFeedback too
