You do these little games that require you to use there search engine. You can get up to 1000 points a day. This takes a while seeing as the max points for the games is 25 per game. However, if you do this when your bored/ have nothing to do it's not that bad. The top prize is a 360 which is 35,000 points. So 35 days of dedicated work.
There is one game called chichionary where you have to descramble letters into words.

whiskey > work 09-22-07, 01:35 PM I did a few of the puzzles this morning at work and earned my daily allotment of points. I'm on the 35 day plan to get the 360. I'll keep you guys posted, but check out the bb.com link there of people who have. It's legit supposedly and if you got the time to do these crossword puzzles then you can earn things like controllers, headsets, whatever just look at the prizes
I've done it. Wife started cause she just like puzzles. When she got a tshirt in about 4 days, I started. I've got one wireless controller. Several friends say when you get in the 20000 point range they stop giving you points. So getting the XBox might be impossible. There are also several bots out there that will do the puzzles for you.
GrooveRite 09-22-07, 02:47 PM Thanks for the heads up Whiskey. My gf loves these things!
Hodnick 09-22-07, 02:59 PM Thanks... my wife loves doing puzzles.. and she can win me stuff! win win for me!
Samstag 09-22-07, 04:00 PM It is nearly impossible to get a 360 right now. You'll max out at somewhere around 24-25000 points I think, and that's if you do every single puzzle in every game. You can also get 10 points per day (unlimited) by installing a live search bar and using it daily.
Getting a 360 is going to take a LOT longer than 25 days. If you lower the bar a bit, some other great prizes are easy to get. I've won Kameo, Arcade Unplugged, a controller, and a T-shirt. Another 30-40 puzzles and I'll have PGR3.

I want controllers and headsets then if the 360 is but a prop up there.
bkchurch 09-23-07, 02:47 AM I just started today, I just bought my 360 so I'm not going for that but I'd love to snag a copy of Vista to run on my Macbook Pro with Bootcamp. Anyone know the fastest way to get points? I've been using the word descrambler that was linked to to play the word scramble chicken game thing but even doing that I'm getting about 20 tickets every 3 minutes so it would take about 2 1/2 hours to get the days worth of 1000 points. Anyone got a faster method?

dude, check out my sig! And by the way, I've heard of these bots you can use to do the puzzles for you, but I'm gonna keep it legit. Like I said, my goal is to get 2 controllers by the time my busted 360 gets back from microslop and maybe even one of those headsets.
Flexicon is my favorite game. Easy 3 and 4 letter crossword puzzles. 25 points for each puzzle completed. Best points for the time to me.

see, flexicon took too long for me. Chicktionary is so monotonous, but it is quick. I have found that looking on the word descrambler then printing the list then just ripping out the words the fastest, but if my boss ever found these things in the printer there would be hell to pay for sure
I've been playing games on Live Search Club since July and managed to earn enough points to get a Zune. Estimated ship date is mid November. Hopefully I don't receive a pink Zune.:eek:

no need to print, just open the two windows side by side

I'll be damned
whiskey > work 09-23-07, 07:20 PM so many chickens today. Just so many...But I'm halfway to a controller already. I shall achieve victory
longhorns 09-23-07, 07:34 PM Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 USB Headset...........does this prize work w/ the 360?

Can you post how long it will be until you receive it when you get around to ordering it I have 500 points so Ill be there in a bit.
Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link!
I'll make sure it is known. I havent' gon through the bb.com link (16 pages!) but people on there were talking like a month or so. I'm betting it is all that and more. Are you doing chicktionary? I'm going to have another huge session tomorrow at work tomorrow on my bosses dollar so I should be real close. And to the above post about the headset, I'm pretty sure it says 360 headset in the description, but without it in front of me I may be wrong...checking now
edit.. just checked and it says nothing of the sort, but I've used phone headsets and others with the 360 and they have worked. But take that with a grain of salt. More investigation forethcoming on that
edit 2 on last page of bb.com some guy says the headset works fantastic and he was thinking of ebaying it for 30 beans. Sounds like if you play legit and without bots your stuff comes, but there are tons of hacks and they pork you on your stuff if you used a bot
longhorns 09-23-07, 08:42 PM how would they know if you used a bot? and by bot do you mean just a word unscrambler? and thanks for the research on the headset, i really appreciate it
whiskey > work 09-23-07, 09:06 PM how would they know if you used a bot? and by bot do you mean just a word unscrambler? and thanks for the research on the headset, i really appreciate it
no, there's actual hacks people have done to this where there's a bot that does the puzzles for you. This is why there is now a cutoff before the 360 point total can be achieved supposedly. The descrambler is fine. No worries about the headset research. I'm curious as well
DeathDealerB 10-18-07, 10:32 AM Well, I got to over 5000 tickets, but as of last night, when I go to the site, all I get is an error message.
Typical microsoft. :mad:

I've got 5961 tix as of today. but, haven't done anything in over a week. takes forever... as many have stated, it would be "cheaper" for me just to buy the stupid 360. ;) So, I only play the games when sitting in front of the TV or not doing anything else. Maybe next year I'll get to the 35k mark. LOL
But, I can get to the Club Live site, so it might be something with your PC or internet connection?
DeathDealerB 10-18-07, 11:29 AM I'll check it again tonight. Thanks Tim.
