Fumbling the easy stuff
Ars Technica has a story about a reader who signed up for the "Buy Xbox 360, Get Halo 3 Free" promotion (we mentioned this promotion back in November)... apparently, there are some issues with actually RECEIVING the free game. There've been some rumblings in our own forum about this (here's one post, I remember others) - you'd think, with a promotion like this, supplying the free games would be a no-brainer. I mean, you're only talking about a thousand people... getting them a free copy of a game that's sold almost 10 million copies in the past 4 months should be simple, shouldn't it? If it were MY company, after the RROD billion-dollar writeoff, and the LIVE connection woes over Christmas, I'd be positively champing at the bit for easy positive-PR opportunities. I guess MS doesn't think that way. (Louis Wu 19:02:14 UTC)
