Reviews...

[Kraft]

Isn't there apparently some giveaway having to do with reviews? That's the rumor on the streets...

[Nato King-XBA]

Yes you are right the giveaways are coming soon.

[Variation-XBA]

I smell incentive!

[The Jackal]

Free 360s to the top 10 as of right now :whistle:

Keep your eyes peeled over the weekend for some news. :whistle:

I don't have enough money to get my eye's peeled yet. Isn't that how Lasik works? I'll just watch the site instead...

Seriously if you're thinking of Lasik, IMHO skip it. I had a similar procedure done (the one before Lasik but same thing) and my eyes are worse now 10 years later. A person ends up wearing glasses again anyways as the eyes age normally. Not worth it and it can makes your vision worse in the long run.

Before Lasik? You mean the antiquated days of radial keratonamy? Yeah, my dad had that done a long time ago and has had issues as well. Lasik though, you are literally having a contact permanently embedded into your eyes. Sure, vision will naturally degrade but right now I am dealing with a -6.5 prescription and even with high index 1.67 lenses my glasses are still pretty thick. It looks to me at the very worst later in life I will have to get low power glasses or possibly just reading glasses with today's current procedures. All I know is it sucks being 1 step from blind when I cant find my glasses. I literally have to be 6 inches from the computer screen to read this text right now without them.

It wasn't radial keratonamy. No incisions. The doctor used a laser. Smelled like burnt hair when he lasered my eyes. I do wear a weaker eyeglass RX.

Contest Details!! Get Crakin'!! (http://www.xboxaddict.com/article/106.html)

[Variation-XBA]

What if we submitted before the 19th (and its a qualifying game post sept 1)?

[BunnyRabbit]

I have a few questions..
If I write 10 reviews is that like 10 entries to be a possible winner for week 1 and then 0 for the following weeks?
Are your chances improved most by a big quantity of reviews or some reviews with mass quality?

Are my chances of winning any prize within this promotion affected by the fact that I have a pending felony charge or is this different from "equal opportunity" employers...heh

[Silent-XBA]

I'm not sure, but I will find out.

Edit: Found out from Tony. Yes, they will be counted

I'm not sure about that one :confused:, but I will find out.

Edit: Yes, they will roll over. But as they roll over its probably going to be harder to win with them. The thing to remember is that if we have only 2 reviews we deem worthy week one, we give out 2 prizes, if on week 2, we have 10 we deem worthy we give out 10.
Are your chances improved most by a big quantity of reviews or some reviews with mass quality?
We are looking for quality reviews, writing 10 quality well thought out and in-depth reviews would be better than writing 25 bad/mediocre reviews :cool:. However writing more reviews does increase your chances of winning but not as much as previous contests, we are looking more for quality this time around.

Thanks for checking dude :)

[Conchord]

I just posted what is quite possibly the best review ever submitted on COD4.

[BunnyRabbit]

OK... So let me get this super correct... You guys are giving out prizes to anyone who writes a quality review... or randomly selecting from a handful of quality reviews a set number of prizes?
Idk why i am asking halfthe time I attemp to get into the site there are big errors

[Ninjermy]

What did last weeks winners win??

[Conchord]

Ya what did I win I am crapping my pants with anticipation!

[Kraft]

Ya what did I win I am crapping my pants with anticipation!

Forza 2 apparently.

[Conchord]

Oh I get it... lmao! I thought I won for reviewing Forza 2. I was like wtf?

**** YES THANKS XBA!

[Ninjermy]

so,
who won week 3??

[BunnyRabbit]

Im not sure... I guess the winners from week 2 will just have to be week 3 winners as well. lolz

[GamerSince'76]

Im not sure... I guess the winners from week 2 will just have to be week 3 winners as well. lolz

(1) Maybe they will put week one and week two winners names in a hat and pick week three's winners from that.

(2) Or maybe they will say "Screw you bunch of ingrates. We are offering great prizes and you guys can't take a few minutes and write a simple, easy to do review. No prize for you" (in a Soup Nazi accent).

Hopefully they do something along the lines of option (1). ;)

[Foques]

heck, id do that for free...

[BunnyRabbit]

My guess:

It is the holidays.. Highlite is visiting family or shopping and doesnt have time to read our bologna!

[Foques]

not really.... he was busy building his monster sound system last i knew :D

[Highlite23-XBA]

ya, i was busy, but apparently nobody wants to win anything because nobody did any reviews before Sunday. I guess we'll just give this stuff to charity :whistle:

[BunnyRabbit]

What prizes nobody wants?~! And I can only win once! Blasphemy! Time to make a duplicate account! JK! lol

[Conchord]

Can we win the smaller competition twice? I was going to write a review for Dirt anyways, but if so I might light a fire under it, so to speak.

[Highlite23-XBA]

not really.... he was busy building his monster sound system last i knew :D

Off topic for just one sec............Those 2 12" subs do sound good!:p

Back on topic............

no one will see this but us, because we are only ones who come into this forum :rofl:

hence why i think we should be allowed to win twice :p :hump:

[Foques]

its ok... wait till i figure out how many subs i want and how i will place 'em... ;)

My review sucked? :)

[BunnyRabbit]

So are we able to win twice now or are we awaiting other monkeys to review?

[Highlite23-XBA]

Well since we're shutting down for the week of xmas as far as the contest goes, we may change it up a bit afterwards, to accomodate you slackers.....I mean members. :)

Actually, I would be writing up a storm but from what Ive been told I can not win on these other weeks here because I have already won and the contest rules wont let me do so again. :whistle:

[Conchord]

Maybe you should write reviews to push things forward at XBA instead of trying to do it for material rewards.

Just a thought.

Hey you make me sound like I am a suck arse as far as contribution here... =(
I think I am a good slice of xba pie...
But the fact is... I have to play game to be able to review them.. and Im broke as turd.. Havent bought a game since halo 3 and before then it was months i had gone without a new one.

[Kraft]

Ouch... just checked out the 'recent winners' for the last few weeks. And here I thought giving away games for free would solicit more of a response. Time to start telling friends about this contest!

Everyones been thinking its the legendary edition of HALO3 including myself. But do to recent thoughts of mine.. I have now determined that the grand prize is not that, but a super sweet Halo3 xbox 360 including an awesome Halo3 Zune player and a bj from the guy that does master chief's voice... Awesome. :hail:
