Got a package from Microsoft eCompany Store waiting for me at my work place. It has a Xbox 360 Chat Pad and a Mic kit. :thumbsup:

 

Infact, the whole TAP team got a lot of goodies coming there way after IMBender made it to the MVP list. So we have copies of Windows Vista Ultimate, MS One Care, humongous 0.5 lts stainless steel coffee thermos, Chat pads and mics, a Halo light saber key-chain and some other assorted stuff on the way, all shipped with FedEx Priority shipping. The best part is, MS picks up the tab on both the goods as well as the shiping.

 

Infact, for a while, our devious minds were hatching a plan where we would pick up the cheapest stuff at the eCompany Store, like the candy-dispenser that was available for $1. Now pick-up 150 such dispensers and ship it to 150 people. Which would mean MS would spend $75 each in FedExing 150 candy dispensers to 150 different people!

 

That would have ensured that IMBender wouldn't be getting another MVP for the rest of his life, so we wisely dropped the idea.

I recently acquired Mass Effect and Battlefield: Bad Company (Gold Edition). No pics at the moment, so you are just going to have to take my word for it. My characters name in Mass Effect is 'Angus' Shepard. :wacko:

 

I am also, not very pleased that the box of the X360 version of BF: BC (Gold) doesn't look as sweet the PS3 version's.

That would've made you chaps the only MVPs from India on Sony's list. Even Milestone cant brag about that.

That would have put us on FedEx MVP list for sure.

 

Btw, here are some pictures of the goodies:

 

LIVE Messenger Kit:

Love the backlit keypad though I am not too sure if I can have it plugged in while playing. Also, the mic that came with it can be used as a mobile phone head-set as well.

 

AitD, Vista and other assorted stuff:

Some more stuff for the computer buffs. You can also see multiple copies of AitD. *Wink*

 

Coffee Thermos

A rather cool looking coffee thermos with laser etched MS logo on the side. Personally, I think it's a waste but others seem to like it.
