That is pretty exciting! I remember reading about the Canadian beta a little while back. I was so excited when I saw that the US beta is happening now!

I hope that I can win something, too. If not, it is still tons of fun to play!

Enjoy your prize!

Thanks! OH! And if you get into the "Mob", but get booted, I certainly hope you don't get as mad as I did lol. But hopefully thanks to the Canadian beta, they got rid of that issue.
Thanks for responding, happy myLotting and good luck!


myLot reputation of 93/100. derlilaStern (1374)  3 years ago

I have only played once, and I didnt have any problems. It was in the middle of the week though, so that might make a difference. Hopefully I will be able to play again soon, and it wont be a problem!

I noticed a lot of other people saying that the arcade games suck. I agree with you completely, there are definitely some good ones in there. I cant tell you how many hours my husband and I played 'geometry wars evolved'! lol

you won an xbox live arcade game? sorry to burst your bubble, but those games suck...i think i would have like a free subscription over that. but congratulations on winning, what were the chances of winning anyways?


myLot reputation of 89/100. candymarie (642)   ranked 76 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

Excuse me, but not all xbox arcade games suck....the community ones do! lol.
And it's a 3rd prize, and I won, and the odds were against me. Whenever I played the beta, I was up against 50,000-75,000 people playing live, also getting entries for each correct answer they gave.
Also, there are seriously NO games you like from the arcade? Not even "Braid"? "Bejeweled"? "Hexic"?


nightmare41 (43)  3 years ago

Castle crashers, Ikaruga, Banjo kazooie, castlevania Sotn, marble blast ultra, SF, Braid.
Son I am extremely disappointed in you.

Maybe he just doesn't know the wide variety of these games....

Congratz... 3rd place isnt to bad and even if the prize sucks you stil have bragging rights. I'm not canadian but I figured I'd reply anyway.... and if they send you a game you already have, you can allways sell it to game stop or some place lke that.


myLot reputation of 89/100. candymarie (642)   ranked 76 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

Why does everybody think xbox live arcade games suck? Lol. There are a few gems in there!
And that is true, if I do have the game already, I'll take it straight to EB games....now that I've said that, it SHOULD be called GameStop, since that IS the Canadian name for EB Games....oh well.
Thanks for responding and happy myLotting!


myLot reputation of 93/100. derlilaStern (1374)  3 years ago

EB games doesnt even exist by me anymore. They have all become 'GameStop'. There is even one inside the mall and one outside the mall (in the same area)! lol One used to be EB games, but not anymore!


myLot reputation of 89/100. candymarie (642)   ranked 76 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. Toxicon (120)   ranked 81 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

I didnt say they sucked, I said if they send something you already have then you can sell it to game stop....

EB Games merged with Game Stop a few years ago and in my area we have 3 or 4 different game stores like those. I dont care much for them because I went to sell some stuff one day and they said my games were so scratched I'd have to pay them to take it, then I went to a different place and they paid me more than 1/2 what the game retailed for wich leads me to believe game stop tries to get decent games from people for nothing so they can make more than average profit on it when they sell it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. candymarie (642)   ranked 76 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

Oh they totally do! I saw the trade in values for a lot of different games, and noticed the used sale price was still a lot more. I'd prefer to sell my games over craigslist/kijiji...if I ever do sell my games.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Toxicon (120)   ranked 81 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

Craigslist is allways the best place to sell things localy, and I'm sure even selling over ebay you would get more for your games than you would from places like gamestop.

The only things actualy worth taking to places like gamestop are old consoles if you can find one super cheap at a yard sale or something you can usualy hit up one of the game places and make a small profit.


myLot reputation of 89/100. candymarie (642)   ranked 76 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

I don't quite support eBay as such, mainly because they charge you a percentage of what you make in the final fees, which sucks!
But since I live in an active gaming community, I know I'll get good prices for local sales.

I rarely win anything so I can only guess at how excited you are. The prize doesn't even matter as much as the fact you won. Congratulations.

Have you already claimed the prize? Isn't this one of the email scams roaming around? I don't mean to sound skeptic but that's why I am asking. Cause I have received several of this kind of email message but everything's a scam. Be careful. I'll congratulate you when you already received your package. Good luck.


myLot reputation of 89/100. candymarie (642)   ranked 76 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

They'll mail me the prize. They didn't ask me for additional info, such as my address and such, since they already have my account information, it's a contest I've been actively participating in, and all that they've asked me is a skill-based testing question, (math).
The sucky part is that I now have to wait to see what the sponsors pick out for my arcade game prize.

What game do you think you'll get?


myLot reputation of 89/100. candymarie (642)   ranked 76 out of 88 in xbox 360 games  3 years ago

I'm not too sure, I haven't received an update either on it. Guess I'll just be patient, and if I STILL don't have anything by the end of August, well then I'll be emailing the contact I have again lol.
I uber excited though, about a company recreating the monkey island series for the xbox!!!
