coupon to a free copy of Fever 2003. We are sorry this
happened.

We will be sending the email no later than 12pm pst as to
wether or not you made the "final cut". And because of
this error on our side we are giving you BETA Testers 1
year of Xbox Live on us. We here at Microsoft believe in
Customer Service after all without you HARDCORE gamers
Live wouldnt be possible.

Have any of you happened to notice the hundreds of threads where us beta testers are discussing the games? I mean I can understand one or two threads slipping by.. but there are litterally hundreds of threads and dozens of pics posted up of us playing on Xbox LIVE beta. Whew.. you guys are starting to give me a serious case of worry over the future of our nation.
