Mark of the Ninja

    Hmm, I have 8 already. Wonder if I should pick up another game to try for it.

  • XBLA_Vulcan

    Have a good weekend everyone! :D

  • Anonymous

    Got all the ones for Orcs Must die, don’t even own the other games :(

    Still think one code divided by fifteen winners would be better, if you really do have to limit how much you can give away.

    Might enter, I’m partway there…
    EDIT: No wait I _AM_ there, hah!

    • Jeff Randall

      I agree completely. The more winners the better.

    • Rob

      I also agree. 3 codes is excessive, 1 is enough if it means more people can win. Although, this set up was probably to devised, in part, to avoid having to contact alot of people

      • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

        Except they’re perfectly happy to contact 3-6 winners a day from Pic of the Day, so I can’t see that being the case.

  • chris

    i am out again. i dont think i will ever get to even enter one of these weekend challenges

  • http://twitter.com/downsouthtigger The Incredible Fred™

    Hmm I got all the ones for South Park and Mark of the Ninja. Need to beat the game as dishwasher, so 3/4 for Dishwasher:VS. Havent started Orcs must die yet. If my laziness doesnt get in the way, I may enter.

    Ah, so sad that I missed last weeks as I not only had all the games, but also had enough cheevs. That’s okay, since it’s a contest now I can just pretend that I wouldn’t have won even if I did enter.

    This week though… man. I have yet to buy Mark of the Ninja (though I plan to) and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smiles is something I’m kind of interested in, but not enough to buy along with Orcs Must Die to MAYBE win. So no money for you Microsoft! Ha!

  • Slayer1189

    Hey, can someone confirm how you e-mail PlayXBLA? does the contact us button go to the correct e-mail address? As I send through the contact us section then copy into an e-mail and send to playXBLA.com. I’m not sure if it voids my entry if they end up receiveing it twice but Don’t want to use the contact us address if it’s not the right one

  • Slam Shot Sam

    It really needs to be made clearer exactly what link you need to send in the email. my standard profile URL is http://live.xbox.com/en-GB/Profile, which won’t send anyone but me to my profile. So I used this link: http://live.xbox.com/en-GB/Profile?gamertag=Slam Shot Sam, which I got by visiting a friend’s profile and replacing their GT with mine. I emailed this link, but then realised anyone could send this link, so will it be considered a false entry? I then found this link (not sure how): http://live.xbox.com/en-GB/Profile?gamertag=Slam%20Shot%20Sam, I don’t know if that or the aforementioned one is the right one and I don’t want to email this new link as I don’t know if I’ll be disqualified for multiple entries. I don’t know if I’m doing it right full stop. Please offer a little clarification.

    • Slam Shot Sam

      Now the second link doesn’t even go to my profile! The last one works, so I’m guessing I sent the wrong one? I spent hours today getting all 4 achievements in The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile so I could enter, I’m not impressed all that effort could be for nothing.

      • Slam Shot Sam

        Just realised second doesn’t work as you have to copy & paste the whole link as it has spaces; clicking goes to another profile.

  • XBLA_Vulcan

    Please send your entries as the directions state above. Email the PlayXBLA@microsoft.com address, not via the contact page.
