In all seriousness, is it even legal to have a contest/game with giveaways or prizes and not explicitly state what countries are eligible to participate? Every contest or giveaway I've ever seen has specifically stated "Open only to US residents" if it's only for US. If I were you guys, I'd get on finding that out and sending a nice little email to Microsoft's marketing dept.

Yeah, I'm about 99% sure it's illegal to have a contest and give away prizes without a Contest Rules that shows who's eligible and who's not. Especially since the page before you enter your bday (or after?) allows you to select a European country. They do seem to be backed up with mailing the prizes, though, so I'd maybe wait. But definitely send them an email if the contest ends and you don't get a package (Keep it polite and don't yell or threaten or anything) and I'm sure they'll figure out some way to get you guys stuff.

Aussie here. I entered keys into the first 2 servers and still have the keys saved onto my PC, but have been waiting ever since the first server opened for a package to arrive here. Nada. However, it isn't until after you enter in your details and give your key that it then only gives you the U.S, Canada and Europe to choose from in order to look at the server. So I should be recieving a package, because they never told me I would not be eligible.

Well at least you have proof should it be needed, I don't whoops. I got all excited and thought I could actually make a discovery, it was obvious that the 719hz sound was going to be more than just a sound so I fired up Sonic Visualiser and got an image ready to upload here.

Never actually having used the attachment function I got befuddled, it was early morning here and the combination of tiredness and excitement isn't a good one, so I kept clicking the update button expecting something to happen, duh idiot Embarassed

Someone over at ABO beat me to the discovery, although in my heart I claim a moral victory Laughing

.

It was around the same time that I was having problems with images displaying strangely on the forum, I figured that was why the update button wasn't working, it is easily fixed by clearing the cache and just for good measure I had closed the other open tabs in preparation.

Just missed a delivery at my house, left a note saying they'd try tomorrow.. I'm really not expecting any packages so. I think this maybe could be mine? I can hope anyway!

Well? Anyone get anything yet?

As far as I know, it's possible that the post-02 servers don't have prizes, I think they were just to spread the "OMG GOT A PRIZE TRY IT YOURSELF" factor.
