Registration page doesn't work for me. When I click the yellow bar it just opens up the same page. Anyone else?

TORO @ Jul 26th 2007 12:37PM

Sweet! Man hard to keep up today with all the news.

Don Wilson @ Jul 26th 2007 12:40PM

Works perfectly fine for me.

GAY! US ONLY! FUCKIN MS!

Fontez @ Jul 26th 2007 1:26PM

WHAT THE FUCK !!!

This U.S. only bullshit is getting on my nerves...

They probably don't want to include Canada because sending a package here is a little too confusing for them...

They'll ask us what STATE we live in and what our ZIP code is... What the fuck is a ZIP code?

The package comes from a POST office, it's considered POSTage and it is delivered by a POSTal service...

It's a fuckin POSTAL CODE !!

Not a function on your jacket !!

... Apologies to all of the slightly intelligent Americans who AT THE VERY LEAST know that Canada has provinces and a postal code...

Sorry guys I'm just a bit bitter after being on hold for 3 hours because my perfectly good 360 has died and then asked what state I live in and what my fuckin ZIP code is...

The 3 people I spoke with didn't even know how to pronounce Toronto !!

It's TOR-ON-TOE !!!

I can't stand this lack of intelligence and knowledge in the American school system...

WE have to learn about YOU guys... Why the fuck don't YOU have to learn about US !!

Don't you take geography and world history in high school?

......... FAAAACK !!!

K sorry I'm done venting... Apologies

Jon,

I"m getting screwed as well...I wonder if this is linked to that MSN Messanger problem....BTW, did they ever fix this? And a look on the xbox forums found nothing, this sucks.

I'll be 19 in October, so this is really, really frustrating.

Intentless @ Jul 26th 2007 2:14PM

The help center is in India or something... They don't know how to spell George... One of the most common names in america.

MrKniceGuy @ Jul 26th 2007 2:17PM

Dude, Fontez. You rock. That's some funny azz stuff. I talk to folks from Canada all the time at my job and they're way smarter than people from Texas. I'd give you 10 Texans for one Canadian. Anyway, good on ya mate!

(I know one M$ call center is in Texas, which is why I mention it.)

TORO @ Jul 26th 2007 2:41PM

Lol Fontez nice rant. Haven't seen you in a while.

Fontez @ Jul 26th 2007 3:04PM

I love the good, positive things about America and Americans but seriously...

You have MANY intelligent and successful people in America...

But for every 1 dumb Canadian there are 10 retarded-ass Americans...

Your population is around 250 million and ours is 30 million...

That's like 10 times our population...

You know what that tells me??

The USA is a Canada full of Retards x 10

But seriously... Answer this question if you're from the states... Do you learn anything about Canada in school EVER ??

Just wondering...

P.S. NO... we have NEVER had Igloos in Toronto...

I've never even seen a fuckin Igloo !!

Toronto is exactly the same as New York in terms of temperature if not hotter...

IN FACT Toronto can get hotter than Florida in the summer... so SCREW YOU !!

... That "screw you" was for those 2 retarted bitches I bought a glowstick from in Disney Land who asked me if it was still snowing in FREAKIN AUGUST !!

Once again I apologize for my venting and to the smart Americans...

MrKniceGuy @ Jul 26th 2007 3:25PM

You're right Fontez. I did learn about Canada in school.. when they told us were the draft dodgers went during Vietnam. :)

Just kidding, I grew up 50 miles from Alberta in North Idaho so we learned plenty about our neighbors. Like how you can drink alcohol at age 19 (18 in B.C.), the beer is better (6.5% alch by vol. is the norm)and hockey! (Kicks all other sport's ass.. com'on it's like boxing on ICE!)

But not all Americans are dumbasses. It just seems that way sometime...

BTW. I think it's interesting how you call us Americans. You are in America too you know. ;)

MrKniceGuy @ Jul 26th 2007 3:50PM

One more thing. If there are 10 dumb Americans for ever 1 Canadian, and there are 10x more Americans than Canadians.. there are 100 dumb Americans for every 1 dumb Canadian! Scary thought...

Phizzle @ Jul 26th 2007 4:00PM

Hey I never learned about Canada in school but I still know a lot about it. Like that you use the metric system. Your Prime Minister is Steven Harper, before that it was Paul Martin. But thank you for saying not all Americans are dumb, but I would agree with you that a lot are. I mean look we sell bottled water? Why the hell would you by that?

Xeros606 @ Jul 26th 2007 7:35PM

hmm... id like to see the halo 3 guitar. also, with all the halo 3 related stuff to win, why isnt halo 3 the game a prize?

Fontez @ Jul 26th 2007 4:39PM

Well we sell bottled water too that's actually the norm all over the world...

Thanks for agreeing with me though ! and you're right we are all in the Americas but where do we draw the line with that term?

I mean we DO say African-American or French-Canadian for a reason... know what I mean?

I just have to say...

If the majority of the American Population wasn't mentally challenged...

The USA and the world in general would be a much better place...

Unfortunately, Mr. Bush is a perfect representation of the majority of the U.S. population. Uneducated with very little logic and no common sense.

Which is ironic since those are the people that are voting for him...

Solution?? Kill the stupid people !! lol jks

The world won't change until a certain level of education becomes the standard globally...

Isn't it also ironic that the closer you are to a city or a larger population the higher your intelligence... Where as the Stupid ones are isolated from society...

Look at the Red/Blue Voting Demographic Map they used during the Election...

See how all the cities are Blue? and the middle of bum-fuck nowhere places are Red?

Come up with your own conclusion based on that... I don't need to say anything...

Sorry guys I have no idea why I just turned this into a political thing... I just keep thinking and my fingers keep moving...

mike @ Jul 26th 2007 4:40PM

wow. You knew we had a prime minister. And you knew his name, and the one before him. Im very impressed.

100% of Canadians know who george bush is. 1% of Americans know who Steven Harper is and probably around 20% know we dont have a president, but a prime minister.

Fontez @ Jul 26th 2007 5:42PM

Ya I'm impressed too... You're right.

brianfontez@hotmail.com

Alex @ Jul 26th 2007 6:49PM

You actually live in Canada? Don't blame us then, blame yourself.

Dylan @ Jul 26th 2007 7:39PM

WOOT!America!FUCK YEAH!
I entered this contest and plan to enter every round

Jman196 @ Jul 26th 2007 7:40PM

I also live in Canada, and hate this stupid BS when it comes to nothing being avaliable for Canadians. And what is with the prices on everything, our fucking xbox 360s are still $500 whereas the US ones are $400. Our dollar is different by 4 measly cents and yet we are paying 25% more on gaming consoles, MS should love Canada because they are raking in the fucking cash. Why not at least give us this sweepstakes with all of the money we are handing over to you. I am also pissed off on a political level.

MisterL @ Jul 26th 2007 9:05PM

Thanks for the info, I signed up. Woot for living in the USA.

Michael Paul @ Jul 27th 2007 3:35PM

Yesterday, there was no sign I'd actually entered when I tried it using Firefox.

Suspiciously, todays IE7 entry came back with a new page telling me I'd been entered.

I GUESS I'll have to remember that trick next round...

Mitsuki @ Oct 24th 2007 10:05AM
