Marble Blast Ultra is an excellent game.
Not as good as Kula World on the PSOne though.
Best game ever.

Wasnt there a limit to the amount they were sending out? About 5,000 or something like that. Maybe we didnt get in there quick enough.

Even though i had filled out the form and sent it away within a couple of days of it comming onto boards, and i got the confirmation email
.
A possibility though. What have people been saying on other websites?

It was the first 25,000 entries.. surely there's no way it filled up that quick.

Mate of mine sent off ours at end of October.

And they should have at least had the courtesy to let us know if we didn't make the first 25,000.

I sent mine off November and got them in a few weeks.
Sounds like your ****ed Basquille.
I'm guessing they made an error reading your email address maybe?
I wrote down mind twice just to be sure.

It was in block capitals.. unless they expect it in braille alongside it, it couldn't get much clearer!

I'm sure they would have accepted small letters but just to make it clearer, I tend to use block capitals.

Yeah I definitely used capital letters also to make it clear. Should make no difference at all.

Cheers hanton12.. have e-mailed that e-mail address but i'd imagine it's automated.

The xboxwins@microsoft.com are ignoring my e-mail anyways.

Given up hope of getting the games to be honest!

My e-mails are getting through but both myself and my mate have sent an e-mail to it every day since the 14th and have gotten no response!

Am very annoyed at it all to be honest!
