'Xbox Announces 'If You Ruled the Gaming World' Contest&quot

That's being desperate...

So let me get your reasoning on this... If they don't give away anything they are "stingy", if they do give away something they are "desperate"? Yeah that's some logical thinking there. Not that I'd actually assume you'd have anything good to say, no matter what they do.

I'M KIDDING!!!! jesus man...

U want my real opinion? Kudos to them for giving away freebies, which i will be thoroughly enjoying eventually, and the contest-with-no-prize thing doesn't really concern me.

The thread went into joke-mode, if you didn't notice... Loosen ur belt matey, no one's doing a fanboi meeting out of this...

From MS euro compo rules:

"Opt in for communication from Microsoft. This is important; if we can't contact you to tell you that you've won, then you may not win! Not sure if you're opted in and want to participate in this great opportunity? Do this:
From the Xbox Dashboard, select Xbox Live.

1.Select Account Management.

2.Select Billing.

3.Select your account and enter the last four digits of the credit card number used for that account.

4.Select Information Sharing.
For Microsoft and our partners, choose Yes."

If one enters, and one's live subscribtion is about to end, does that also mean that automatically you have ordered xbox live for the next year onwards.

Why would I need/want to share my information with MS partners?

The live subscription automatically renews regardless of information sharing...

Why would I need/want to share my information with MS partners?

because of the marketing value the collected data has.
