Alright I just went STV on FreePay's xbox 360 site (actually i don't know if i just did because i haven't checked in forever

I DID NOT order the giftcard so I'm guessing this is STV for the system

can anyone tell me if this is new or old news?

but that post doesn't answer whether he went STV for the giftcard or the system. If he went STV for the system, that i would rather get the system than the Card. A response from Jake would be help, I don't like sending out support tickets

You are the first I've heard of someone going STV who hasn't requested the gift card. (holding my breath...could it be true???)

bruman

02-06-2006 16:20:34

I am also STV For the Xbox 360 )

And I DID NOT order the gift card (didn't even ask about it)

Must mean the Xbox 360s are shipping out finally!!

Great news D

yea looks like you might be one of the few getting one soon D

i just recieved this email from freepay

"We’re happy to report that 100 XBOX 360’s arrived in our fulfillment center today. Those customers’ with the oldest orders will be receiving notification next week. "

Lucky you dude! hopefully mine will be soon D

i blame history

02-06-2006 16:25:52

holy crap! me too!

no giftcard here, either. maybe freepay is going alright after all.

this is amazing news! i am not sure how i could be in that 100, because i placed my order in august, but maybe i am.... either that, or they have just placed all other orders and we are all in STV mode as of now. either way, i am quite happy about this situation.

of everyone who has placed their order, is anyone not STV for their 360 account?

mpbollywoodking

02-06-2006 16:39:37

ok, so if i requested the Giftcard earlier, should i send a ticket saying that i want the system instead?

Akademikz

02-06-2006 16:44:28

Unless you ordered a REALLY long time ago, like 5+ months don't cancel the giftcard. You need to remember that they only got 100 XBox 360s and there are people who have been processing for like a year or something now, don't bother. Take the gift card and fork out the extra cash for the system if you really want it.

mpbollywoodking

02-06-2006 16:46:41

maybe ur right, i mean, if it's defective, i rather take it to the store directly.

Than again, i don't want to walk out of Best Buy and people jump me because they see that i am carrying the system in my hand

i blame history

02-06-2006 16:54:40

i think by this point the bugs have been pretty much worked out. sure, with any product, things can mess up with specific systems, but i have not heard of anything even remotely widespread in for a while now.

Well, I don't think you need to worry about that -- it's not like when they first came out. They're everywhere now, except for maybe Freepay. ;)

My 2 local Wal-Marts have had full 360 display cases for at least the last 2 months. Which is why it's all the more frustrating why Freepay isn't shipping before now. Not that I completed 360 -- it expired on me -- but I still feel frustrated for you guys when I've been seeing 360's in every store I walk into...

mpbollywoodking

02-06-2006 18:08:31

i'm still questioning myself should i send a ticket about me wanting the system instead of the giftcard, because i am STV, and i'm confused on what i will get, since Freepay got 100 xbox360's

than again, did anybody else get this email?

edit
nevermind, i recieved the email P
but, i'm still confused on what i will get, the card or the systems and still wondering whether i just inquiery about it with them, or Jake, if he is around

Berky34

02-06-2006 21:44:16

^ what I'm worried about... I was processing like 4 months ago. Then they DQ'ed a ref so now I've been processing for like 3 weeks. I'll probably get it like a year after it comes out.

Akademikz

02-06-2006 21:54:31

That's exactly why I didn't bother with a PS3 website with Freepay because it's one of two things either they are going to take ages to ship out the PS3s after the launch or they end up going under before the launch, in which case you get cash which was a waste of waiting in my opinion. Personally, I'm going to start a PS3 site as the launch nears.. it's a bit early to get one down now, but that's just me and my 360 even if I don't get a PS3 should do just fine.

I'll agree and disagree. While I wouldn't have minded getting my 360 about 6 months ago, when I felt it was priority. Since the 360s have been READILY available on store shelves for quite some time, i feel that getting the product to the people by any means would be top priority, be it the actual unit or the giftcard so that we can go purchase it ourselves. We (people that have been waiting for the GCs) went STV almost a month and a half ago, and they (jake and customer service) told us we'd have them within 2 weeks. Which, to the best of my knowledge, passed us a long time ago. While I am all for them shipping out 360s, I am just puzzled at their business strategy of pissing everybody off!

junkie06

03-06-2006 08:00:09

well either way its going to end soon for them...i'm pretty sure once everyone receives there items from Freepay they will be done

mpbollywoodking

03-06-2006 08:05:32

I only want to know if the people that are currently in STV will get the g/c or the systems, because I honestly would rather get the system if they have their hands on a couple of 360's

well even though freepay are a bunch of scammers themselves... 9/28/05 isn't THAT gross when you consider that the system itself wasn't released until almost december AND one couldn't realistically get their hands on one until April. I believe, however, that this should have been coming about a month earlier, and to many more people.

haha i lost hope in getting mine, so i stopped thinking about what game i wanted. i have $30 on a gift card for walmart, so i will probably end up standing there drooling in front of the case for an hour before i just cave in and buy call of duty or something.

ever the quick one, i figured out how to get the tracking number... should arrive tomorrow. i am glad, because i am not up for an hour of travel tonight.

i found out from CS that if you opted for the GC, you're going to get the GC, check out the 360 sticky for the response i got from CS.

i am happy for all of you but i am really annoyed by this at the same time i have been processing since 6-13-2005 and i went for the giftcard to save waiting time and to see that they shipped the xbox before the giftcard is really pissing me off...but i do already have a 360 so congrats to all of you i just want my giftcard too

Diggety

06-06-2006 11:26:31

Im in the same boat Stroid. I thought going to for the GC was the smart thing to do. I already have a 360 and I would just end up selling the one I get from freepay, so i figured the GC was the better option. Now I have been STV for almost a month and a half and still not a damn thing. I hope they pull through with the GC's .

I had asked Jake to inquire. How is it that they're unable to get A GIFT CERTIFICATE? I piss gift certificates.

Just another feather in the cap of Freepay's endemic ineptitude.

I guess this is how they pay me back for getting about 80 more greens than necessary on the 5 Freepay sites I've ever done.

That's asinine on so many levels. Freepay should've given users an xBox or a GC IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPROVED TO RECEIVE A GIFT. It's like going to a fancy restaurant, showing up four hours before someone else, but receiving your dinner after they do because you ordered the steak and said other person ordered the prime rib.

Nevermind, nothing with the word "fancy" in it should never be used in an analogy of Freepay.
