goatdan #1 Posted April 27, 2004 Not exactly sure where I should post this, so I figured here is about as close as it gets... I did search for any similar topics, but couldn't find any. If there are, you mods can feel free to lock this. I am futily trying to get as many Dew U points as possible to get an XBox. I'm a ways off, but I figured that if anyone else doesn't want to use their points for anything and would otherwise just toss them, perhaps you could send me a few codes via PM to use in my quest. Thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shep #3 Posted April 27, 2004 Hey everyone I've been begging kindly for sometime without even starting a thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goatdan #4 Posted April 27, 2004 Wasn't trying to step on you territory Shep, I'm just hoping to get myself an Xbox without having to rot my teeth straight outta my head by drinking that much soda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasoco #5 Posted April 27, 2004 I want codes too, but you don't see ME begging. How many of these pitiful threads do we need? You want a green Mt. Dew Xbox? Buy the soda yourself! And give me some codes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy Cleopatra #6 Posted April 27, 2004 You'd be better off trying to get one of eBay or something. It will end up costing you close to what? $400-$500 in Mt. Dew just to get a green Xbox. There was one on eBay last week for $150. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eldunko #7 Posted April 27, 2004 You need to drink 550 600ML bottles of Mountain Dew to get an xbox??? I can just imagine the droppage in people's sperm counts after this promotion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjk7382 #8 Posted April 27, 2004 My cousin works in the bottle department of D&W. He already gave me a bag of about 50 of them, and said he would get more for me. All for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasoco #9 Posted April 27, 2004 You'd be better off trying to get one of eBay or something. It will end up costing you close to what? $400-$500 in Mt. Dew just to get a green Xbox. There was one on eBay last week for $150.Depends on what you buy for soda. If you buy 12-packs, 3 points each pack. About $4-5 each pack. 550 points divided by 3 is $920. Or if you get 6 packs of bottles, it's one point per bottle. 550 bottles. That's 92 packs of 6 bottles. Not sure of the price there. Then they put them on the 2-liter bottles. I drink Dew anyway, and I'm trying to see what I can collect. If it gets to the point the contest is ending soon, I'll just buy what I can get with what I have. I currently have a piddly 43 points. That's 1/13 of the way there. If I simply buy 169 more 12-packs... BTW, notice already, one of the Xbox bundles is sold out. It's only a normal one, but still it's sold out. One has to wonder how many of each are available. I'd HATE to save up and spend all that money to find the one I want gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ubersaurus #11 Posted April 27, 2004 I've been collecting them myself...I asked people I know to help me out, and that's paid off, as in the course of 2 weeks, I've got about 200 caps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goatdan #13 Posted April 28, 2004 Well, I had been throwing them out for a long time before someone tipped me off that I could pick up an Xbox. I don't really care about the limited edition pea-green one, I would just like to get an XBox. I've got a bunch of people that I know looking for them now. I just figured I'd ask on here to see if anyone would rather give them to me than throw them out. Like I said, I'd like an Xbox without a head full of tooth decay.

Avid Fan #15 Posted April 28, 2004 This reminds me of when I drank a whole bunch of Kool-Aid to try and get Metroid 2. All I got was a shitload of cavities, and I didnt have enough points for the game, and the offer expired. I was pissed, as were my parents Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.FoodMonster #16 Posted April 28, 2004 I work at a party store, and I have to count/put away empties, so I decided that it would be a REALLY smart thing for me to do, is collect the caps. I have been saving them for roughly 2 weeks, and right now I have 106 of them. About... 6 of those caps are from Dews that I drank, when I'm working, I dont have to pay for them, so all of that has been free for me. Send me all the caps youd like, because I'm going to get it before any of you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacGurl #17 Posted April 28, 2004 You HAVE seen the Mt Dew XBox right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasoco #18 Posted April 28, 2004 I have, not in person, but I would want it only because I am a Dew drinker. And I want to show my support by buying over $1000 worth of Dew just to get a $200 Xbox bundle. ... [Opens another can of Dew] Actually, I'm not a fan of the exact color. I like white better, but hey, if I can show off to my friend who also loves Xbox and Mt. Dew, then HA! Even better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goatdan #19 Posted April 28, 2004 I've seen them and they are ugly as sin... I personally don't even care if it is a Dew Box or a standard one. It's just that for under $10.00, it seems like an all right deal to me. I doubt I'll make it, but who knows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Illegal? No. I used to work as a recycler and I'd often get winning caps for soda and other prizes in bags. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With my luck the day I finally get that 550th point will be the day they sell out of all the green ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Illegal? No. I used to work as a recycler and I'd often get winning caps for soda and other prizes in bags. Well, unless D&W isn't what I think it is, it's completely different. Your bottle caps came from bottles that were already used. The people who drank the soda didn't care about the prizes so the caps are up for grabs. What is D&W because if it is what I think, he's getting caps that never got a chance to be sold. Hence, cheating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.FoodMonster #25 Posted April 29, 2004 There are 5 differnt 'Bundles' of XB's avalible at the site. Only 2 of them are the green ones. Depending on what is open (they open them every so often till they sell out) is what I will get. If I end up with a green one, I wont play it. If I get a normal one, I will play the all 5 games on it that I'm intrested in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
