utter cunts
'who opted to receive marketing emails'

so rewarding folks not for being long term customers or buying 10s of thousands of pounds of stuff from them but rewarding folks who they can spam

my contempt for this bag of cocksmokers grows stronger by the minute

in their defence they aren't allowed to send you any emails if you didn't opt in.

But its only an email telling you what you've been playing so hardly a big deal

you'll still get the background, gamer pic etc

they still send me the live rerwards email so I guess its one rule for one thing and another for another

It just pisses me off that I have paid for 11 years of live, bought 300+ titles, bought 2 xbone ones at launch, bought a 360 at launch and 7 others later, bought the original xbox at launch, bought several peripherals and scored just shy of 200k gs and yet I wont be in with a shout. They ignored me on bone launch and the same goes again here

I don't really care about the free stuffs its just the fucking principle

Alright to email me about my renewal for live or any purchases or live rewards but not in this draw because I have a pathological hatred of spam

I can see why you'd be pissed with them

lol

rep for your calming reply

too much coffee too early

Thanks for the info.....

Got the e-mail this morning.

Apparently my 6020 Gamerscore and 233 achievements puts me in the top 5% of whorers for the 12 months period. I'm quite surprised at that with the meagre game time I've had of late.

yea apparently i am as well with only 4870 GP and 550 hours on xbox live (not sure i needed to know that)

grrrr!

Apparently 8550gs puts me in the top 1% . Crazy. I'm not even gonna say the amount of hours I've apparently played.

I am supposedly in the top 5% of gaming hours and have hardly played it.......and in the top 25% with my gamescore.........

Well it cant be more than my 1617 hrs

700 hours, putting me in the top 25%

8780 Gamerscore puts me in the top 1%

427 Achievements - top 1%

None of the 4 rarest achievements (but i don't have any of the games)

But i do have all 4 of the most popular cheevos.

I don't even have the email

Same here

Same here too, plus the background not that good neither. I did get a message saying " To celebrate year one, I will get a free copy of Limbo when it's released. Stay tuned, your free code will arrive here" Are they importing old xbox360 live arcade games now? Better be cause I don't have the Xbox360 now lol.

Some shite pics and backgrounds and 15 days of project Spark Premium. Bag of poop!!!!

Good luck to everyone else.

Limited Edition Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Console, 12 months Xbox Live, £50 xbox gift card **










**all of this may be a lie

I got some backgrounds, some shitty Halo film for a limited time and a message saying I'll get a code for Limbo when it's released.

Free copy of Limbo for me too, it is a great game as played it on psn

I go a background poster, gamer pic plus everything to decorate Facebook and Twitter plus Halo Forward Unto Dawn which I already own on blue ray.

Now got email for a copy of limbo. Not bad game but had it on 360.
