It looks like I was able to squeeze in here at number 400; thanks to all the Canadian GAFers who posted about this website and made me aware of the free game potential! I actually had a lot of fun trying to gain access to the website and ascend to level 18 before the perk deadline, and I'm looking forward to any further promotions the site has! I think whoever is behind the site came up with a great way to engage gamers through both the process and the rewards (now they just need to learn the difference between "it's" and "its").
You can definitely put me in the "Tetris challenge was hard" camp. I didn't have any challenges completed as of the 6th, so I figured Tetris would be my best bet—having (somehow) never played the game before. I ended up seeing faint outlines of Tetriminos after gruelling sessions of Tetris 1989 that eventually led to 70 and eventually 93 lines cleared before I panicked and let all the blocks pile up as they flew down from the top. Once I got less hung up on keeping the bottom row completely clear of blocks I was able to plan ahead more effectively and I eventually cleared 116 lines on February 7th.
Now, I don't know how many of you played on Tetris Friends, but basically once your game is over, you are taken to a screen that displays your percentile rank (as I recall) but doesn't have any score information on it (if you try to play again, you will be confronted by interactive dishwasher detergent ads—because obviously the best place to advertise such a product is a Tetris site). When I saw this screen after letting the fatal blocks fall, my heart sank faster than a level 11 L‑block as I kicked myself for not taking a screenshot immediately after I reached 101 lines cleared with plenty of blank playing space available. Fortunately, a couple of seconds after that I found the tab that displays your score and statistics for your play session and left it open for the three or so hours that it took for my submission to go through. Given that I submitted an image that had to be manually reviewed at a time when the site was probably still being hammered, I am quite happy with the service I received.
This has been quite the experience for a free video game, that's for sure!

Might try mine for Street Fighter X Tekken collector. It's at 69.99$!
Do you guys think an in-store pickup would be possible?
Upgrading to a Soul Calibur V collectors edition wouldn't be so bad
So far none of their coupons work for in store pickup I believe.
EDIT: Confirmed above.
This + the list should be added to OP.
Congrats, let us know how it goes! What's FS's regular shipping like, btw? I've only ordered a handful of things from them and can't seem to remember.
Very fast. Free shipping -> ordered on monday night, got my item wednesday morning

No taxes btw.
They are generally fairly speedy. Usually get them within a week of release date. Though there are hiccups.
Winning the 3DS coupon had no bearing on eligibility for the free game, I won both. They did say that people who won a free game this time would not be eligible for the next free game however. They may have also said we wouldn't be eligible for another free game this year but I'm not completely sure and I don't want to go looking for where it was posted.
That would be interesting. With the information we have it seems like it's just a $60 coupon for video games, so it could work.
I want to know this.

Used my code so that info is from me now. Says free free free when you submit order.
Why would there be tax? 13% of $0 is $0.
Most of the time FS/BB charge tax before removing the discount on an order.

Yep. Shipping won't be free though, so bundle it up with other things you plan to buy.

#335, sweet.
The Tetris challenge was actually a lot easier than I thought. I swear I thought it was 200 lines so it took me a couple of days to get, played on the iPhone version's marathon mode.
When I submitted my screen and saw that it was only 100, it was a bit funny since I tried so hard to get 200.

Buy/pre-order a game more than $60, pay the difference. Buy/pre-order a game that is $60 and get it for free. $0.

he means it's technically today because in EST it's midnight already, but not any time soon. Sometime "tomorrow".
Anyway I pre-ordered tales of graces f with my code, I am happy, tsilon owns.

I'm sure there are some major people behind this, especially when it was shown at that canadian award show (which is how the website was cryptically revealed i.e. thereisnolist.ca) but I stopped giving a damn. Now? It's too awesome to stay this awesome.
Lockerz used to be one of those sites that completely skyrockets and died in blaze.

TALES. Sales for that must be high. Enthusiasm.
Act of Valor.
Ahh where was this giveaway, in the forums?
so I was testing combining 2 games. get 2 for 40$ each, get 60$ off and pay remaining 20$....and all I got is 0 for every item in my cart. So just for my information I added 2 more games, to see what will happen. All of them were for free....and here is the bomb....instead of clicking cancel I clicked submit order....boomer....
AI is aware of that glitch, I cancelled it once FS updated my orders history....
but it looks like I lsot my code...well...my fault...

Haha there's a "glitch" where the code is applied to every game in your order, so theoretically you could get 10 games for free. Of course tsilonAI is aware of this and will cancel all orders that do this.
EDIT: see above post.

Games you preorder on regular shipping have always come to me one day after release. I live in Toronto if that matters. The one time I got it an extra day late they gave me a 10 buck credit so it's all good on my end.
