Hi there,
Late last year, Microsoft ran a campaign to get people to buy an Xbox 360. The campaign consisted in you convincing a friend to buy the console, filling a form and you would get 10 free XBLA titles. I met a guy on a forum who bought an Xbox 360 for Xmas and we entered the campaign. The campaign ended in early January 08 and I haven't heard of it since, until yesterday when I was checking my inbox and noticed an email from Microsoft with the subject "Congratulations".
To my surprise the email contained redemption codes for the 10 following titles:
. 3D Ultra Mini Golf
. Assault Heroes
. Street Fighter 2
. Bomberman Live
. E4
. Marble Blast Ultra
. Small Arms
. Spyglass Board Games
. Sonic the Hedgehog
. Zuma Deluxe
The first 3 games are the ones I'm downloading for sure, the remaining titles either I already own them (E4, Bomberman Live), I'm still on the fence wether to get them or not (Sonic, MBU) or I'm not interested at all (Zuma, Spyglass... and Small Arms).
But now I've come to a dilemma, I'm no achievement whore and I don't like to have games that I know I won't play, so what do I do with the redemption codes I won't use? Sell them? Run a giveaway contest on the website?
If you have offers for any of the codes, if you have any redemption codes you want to trade or if you just want to call me an a-hole for not using the codes, post.
Best regards and have a good one ;D

P.S.: The codes are from Microsoft Spain, while I'm almost sure they'll work in PAL consoles I don't know if they will work on NTSC accounts/consoles.

Donate them to the site to have a non-USA only contest? Maybe even a PAL only? (or whever the codes will work)
If not then I would be willing to test the Spyglass code to see if it works in the US. I have been itching to play chess online, but I am having a bit of a stand off with MS customer service at the moment...they charged me for 6 months of gold service I have cancelled twice now. GRRRR~!

i dont have any codes to trade NOW, but i get them sometimes from contests and would definatly retrun the favor if you want to hook me up with the e4 or bomberman code. not sure what else i can offer you from across the sea...

I think I'll wait at least till Sunday for any giveaway decisions (I'll be out of town till then :D). But most certainly the titles that I don't want and no one else wants to trade/buy will be given away.

Wanna trade E4 for one month of Xbox Live?
Wanna trade Zuma, Bomberman or Small Arms for 48-hour gold membership? I don't have any other codes to trade right now..
