Hey bob, remember that picture of the arcade cabinet i sent you? How about I trade you that for some points? eh?

You said some pretty bad stuff about me back on the first of March.  Let's go with that day.

I don't recall.. but I dont want you digging it up either. So be it. Every March 1st I'll lay off the bad mouthing.

No, I meant you have to take back everything bad you said about me on March 1.  You can keep all the other bad things you said about me.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

479 points entered.


358 Wins for DLC - or 71,600 in Wii Points ($716)
90 DLC losses (aww)
13 Wii RB Bundle Losses (whadda waste)
18 in 360 Drawing (This week's drawing - maybe I'll win?)

Bought some codes off of eBay ($0.50 - $0.22 each). Drank tons of Pepsi. More than any man should. Got tons of caps from co-workers as well, including one guy who I think drank more Pepsi than I did. All-in-all, came out good.

Well, today is the last day codes can be entered, so I hope you all got yours in!

If it weren't for this promotion then I probably never would have downloaded any WiiWare games. I'd just like to take a moment to thank UncleBob for creating this topic and informing everyone of this promotion, and also thanks should go to Vudu who experimented with the winning system and posted his results here.

DAMMIT!

I had one more code to enter that my girlfriend sent me yesterday via text, but I thought i had until today to enter it in. ****!

Until when do we have to redeem the code tokens we have? I have like 4 or 5 just sitting there, waiting.

End of the month.  But you really should do it ASAP.  There's no telling when they'll run out of Wii point codes again (and no guarantee that they'll restock).

Thanks. I already have the codes to redeem, just have to make sure I do that before the end of the month.

If you mean the 200 Wii Points codes, you have until December 31st to enter them into the Wii Shop Channel.

Ask the wrong question and you'll get the wrong answer.  Go figure.

Well, apparently, there's some hoopla over the fact no one seems to have won anything on the last day of the contest.  I'm not complaining, but I can see how some people felt cheated...

Anywhoo, I'm famous - I'm quoted in that article...  no credit given to me though. :(

Well now I'm glad I got all mine in.
If there were a lot of people who were waiting to play their caps for those two final days then it is possible that all of the prizes were awarded within the first couple of hours. Unless someone can PROVE that no prizes were awarded then there's nothing they can do about it, and I highly doubt Pepsi would investigate it further.

If credit isn't given with your quote then are you really famous? How would anyone know it is you?

Makes me glad I hopped on the bandwagon when I did and didn't return for seconds. I made it just in time.

Just a friendly reminder, any codes you received from the Pepsi/Rock Band promotion are going to expire on December 31. 

I found about 50 codes I never got around to entering.  I am now going to spend the next hour punching these into the Wii Shop Channel.  I thought I was done with this ****.

Perfect timing to be extra generous with your secret santa if you can't think of anything you would spend money on for yourself.

Good time for another mod sponsored contest. ;)
captioning contest in the funhouse maybe?

Depends on if I like the person I'm giving gifts to.  ;)

It's a stupid game.  Think of a better one and maybe you'll be on to something.

The new thing is baseball hats. If you get three pepsi caps with the same team name underneath, you can send them in along with the name of the team you like, and they'll send you a hat!

Or a cap could win a 15% discount on any purchase of $75 or more on MLB.com

Claims must be postmarked by September 30, 2010 and received by October 7, 2010. Anyone want to participate in some cap swapping?

I still have $350 unredeemed. The codes still work, but not on 3DS. Adding $2 at a time kinda sucks, which is why two years later, here I am.

Damn... $350?

Want to sell some? :D

What would suck worse is entering the codes into your DSi, downloading games from the DSiShop, then transferring them to the 3DS... ugh..

It's what I had to do with several titles I wanted.  Except I entered my codes a long time ago... and I'm not selling my DSi. :D

I was serious about buying some of your codes, by the way. ;)
