So they are some obscure Japanese games released on some obscure system nobody's ever heard of? Great. I'm going to guess the system wasn't made by Nintendo...

At first I thought they might be Intellivision games because there's a GameCube compilation with 60 Intellivision games on it, but there were more than 60 games released...

I wish to sign up for this Amway scam. Please send codes.

The two games are:

Pichu Bros. Mini
Togepi's Great Adventure

for the Pokemon Mini system. The system itself it pretty cool and there are a few good games, but its limitation to the Pokemon franchise pretty much killed any mass-market potential.

I got the system when it was on clearance from the Pokemon online store, and I have played the Gamecube emulated version. It took me a couple years to track down an English version of Pokemon Tetris -- it seems to have been released only in Germany and Spain.

I thought it might be something Pokémon-related once again. If it isn't something listed on GameFAQs then I'm not going to be able to figure it out...

200 points for MegaByte - I'll get 'em to you in the next day or so.

What fun would gaming be if you could just look up everything on GameFAQs?

So - This promotion worked out for RockBand after all. They got me to give them money because of it.

Once I received my Wii back, I had about 65 200 Point codes to enter in.
GameStop has had the Logitech Wii Wireless Keyboard for $20 for a little while. Obviously, I've wanted one anyway, but I figured the keyboard would be worth getting *now* to make the 65x12-digit-code easier to enter (and did it ever!).

Well, I got to thinking, the keyboard is USB. The Wii, as we know, has two USB ports. Currently, in mine, is the Wii Speak Mic and the Wii LAN Adapter (have Wireless internet, wanted the more stable/faster connection). Now, I could just unplug the Wii Speak mic most of the time, but figured I'd price USB hubs while at Best Buy.

The cheapest USB hub they had was $20! More than I cared to pay (and I'm sure I could get one much cheaper online anyway).

So, while looking around, I find a USB hub, on clearance, near the video game stuff. $10. It's the Rock Band-branded one. Figured it was an omen and picked it up.

If only Pepsi didn't make me gag.... I got 200 points then remembered how much I hated Pepsi.

I finally got three caps from my dad.

I entered all three codes which worked... then said I wanted a free rock band song, and 1 out of the 3 times it said I didn't win.

Am I the only one this has happened to?

It isn't like having the game listed on GameFAQs means I'm automatically going to be able to figure it out. I can't guess that which I do not know exists.

Odd. I've never lost.

Yes. In fact, you may be the only person who has ever lost during the course of this promotion.

Now I wish I would have taken a screenshot.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #137 on:** July 27, 2009, 12:14:47 AM »

So I bought a 2 liter of pepsi buzz or whatever it's called. I look under the cap and there is no code! does it have to be a specially marked bottle or something? Is it in cans too?

I think UncleBob posted earlier a picture of the cap. I've only seen red ones but there are supposedly yellow ones too. They have a Rock Band guitar logo on the cap.

Pale · « **Reply #139 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:05:49 AM »

Mine were yellow. I think it's only on single pepsis that come out of machines or coolers in grocery store check out lines.

They aren't on two liter bottles. 20 oz. only.

Pale, now that I think about it, when you lost are you sure you selected the 'win a song' option? UncleBob lost once because he accidentally entered to win a Rock Band Band Kit.

EasyCure · « **Reply #141 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:36:06 AM »

I'd like to thank unclebob for giving me 200pts just for doing a simple favor for him this weekend (non-sexual in kind, mind you!) and pepsi for giving me another 200pts for drinking their cherry flavored product with an awesome slice of pizza i had.

Now i'd like to let you all know how lame i am, and tell you I actually spent those points (and 200pts i already had on my account) on actual rock band DLC.. lol!

I might actually start drinking pepsi more because of this stupid promotion.. damn them!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #142 on:** July 27, 2009, 05:16:56 PM »

WTF, I just bought a 20oz bottle of Pepsi Max and made sure it had the Rockband logo. Under the cap it says "Buy Pepsi 20oz get 1 free" That isn't points!

Money spent to get 1000 free Wii points: $3.00

Don't feel bad, Pale. I lost on 4 of the last 5 codes I entered.

I am very torqued. Why am I even bothering with this if they don't give me codes. I quit.

If you happen to come across any then, give 'em to me

When is the last day of the promo? They also ran out of Wii tickets again...

vudu · « **Reply #147 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:04:50 PM »

Why are people losing all of a sudden? Did Pepsi change the way things work on the back end?

MegaByte · « **Reply #148 on:** July 27, 2009, 11:05:37 PM »

Maybe more people figured out the deal so we're hitting the actual per day limit.

I would say if you get a loss, stop and wait for the next day to enter more codes.

I went ahead and used my last BOGO free caps to get a last batch of pepsi codes. I'm done after this though. I'm already feeling sick every time I drink the stuff. Too much fake sugar and stuff. It's way too sweet for me. Plus I'm starting to get some zits which always happenwhen I drink too much pop.
