I would say the odds of winning for active members is around 1 in 10, probably even better than that.

It is preferred that you do. What does it hurt to download XBC and sign up and then register your XBC tag here on XBA?

So all we have to do is download it, not use it, i got a dial up connection so I dont think it would work so well

In the contest rules it says XBC is a requirement and you have to be an active user.

Time to try out Mech Assault and other games on XbConnect.

Check the rules, there is a link or go to www.xbconnect.com.

It does not say that.

Yes, its on the rules page.

Everything for this giveaway is going to be announced and won in the chat room.

Random Giveaways, are in the chat room.

Random Giveaways, I randomly generate a list of numbers, i go down the list of people in the chat and give them their number, do i tell them, no, Then i run the random number generator again, and if they have they number, that person wins, totally random.

Random does not happen often.

Download XBC, register your name on XBC. Then update your profile or added your XBC tag to the DB.

I think the reason why it's recommended to have XBC is to promote both sites, but it's also kinda difficult to enforce that if your computer just doesn't have the juice to support everything running through it (like mine:cry: )

This sounds cool man, I'm new to this site but I am glad that I picked the right time to join. Well this is officially my first post here. I used to be over at XBOXACTIVE but that got shut down so here i am.

I hope I don't forget to check this site on the days of the giveaways.

Okey, im new to this, But I would have to say, WHAT could possible be better then playing halo online and talking to people about it at this site? WINNING PRIZES FOR DOING IT!

10-28-2003, 02:47 PM
I have a dial-up connection, so I CAN'T have XbConnect. Plus I'm sure that you could probably still win prizes from MS, UbiSoft, Eidoes, Joride Studioes, Intec, and so on even without XBC.

Plus just to say, I'm really looking forward to this giveaway! Two thumbs up to XBA and the sponsors!

"Welcome to Xbox Addict.com.

I want to be eligible... but then again I don't want to go on a posting spree cause that's not my style. I don't go around posting any little thing.

Well thanks for the warm welcome... I hope everyone here in these forums are cool... well see yall around...

One more thing... I'm going to start my own thread. Its about my Halo clan/chapter [XL], so check that out people.

I have always found it intriguing that the contest page says "Finding certain 'secret areas' on the site." Anyone ever found any?
