I have fat fingered tons of codes and if they truly have flagged me because of that... their system is broken.

If you’re tossing codes it’s unlikely more than the garbage picker will be attempting to use them. That probably wouldn’t dq your account.slade wrote: ↑ Congrats to the latest winner, less people I have to fight against now haha!
Im still unsure of how the stolencodes would be caught.
If I toss all my caps in the recycle and someone decides to try them, they are stealing the codes...
If I fat finger a code by accident that someone has already used (low odds im sure) do I get disqualified or the original person? Lots of ifs'
But if you have a bunch of stolen codes on your account and there’s a bunch of unique people trying to enter those codes, then that’s a red flag.
Odds of fat figering a code are basically zero. I highly doubt any pins are within one or two characters of each other.

Congrats! You were in it for the long haul and it paid off!microwave wrote: ↑I got the winning call today.
I entered two codes on Sunday and two Monday at random hours in the evening.
My method of 1 pop + 1 bag of chips per week paid off again. Minimal investment and another win.
I feel bad for legit code dumpers, so much money lost and to whoever stole 3 of my codes, you can’t cheat to win so eat it.

I’m starting to wonder if I should just start saving codes for the last couple of days for the contest and do a couple of dumps that week. Or if should should just continue putting one per hour, when I have codes.

Thanks and yea I would have played to the end.
Other than the 1 pop per week I didn’t spend any money that I wouldnt have. Always get a bag of chips for cheat day and I’m looking forward to a non-Doritos cheat day lol
Never won spending a bunch of money and time gathering codes from the online npn pin generator to dump during the 360 days. So it’s nice that the minimal cost and effort approach has worked for me.
Good luck to those still playing. I’ll update when the Xbox arrives.
You could do both. For every few you enter put one aside for a last ditch dump at the end. I think odds are better when spacing them out unless you get lucky and there is a large dip in entries during dumping hour.

Congrats to all the winners so far! Not me yet.
Just wondering which stores people are buying the MD Kickstart from? And what does a can of it usually cost? Thanks, and good luck RFDers!

Dunno. Can't tell the difference and other than the unit saying the TV was 4K and if I wanted to set that as the output nothing happened. I checked the cables and the S seems to be identical. Ditto with the power cable. The X has an HDR problem with 4K Blu Ray playback so I left it on a non HDR input. My Panasonic UB-900 4K Blu Ray player has superior playback anyway. The TV (alas) has only 1 HDR enabled input anyway...

The hdmi cable is the same as the one you get with the Xbox one S. Microsoft even made it a point that you could unplug the s and use the same cables for the X as everything plugs into the same spot.DougO wrote: ↑ Dunno.

However if you aren’t upgrading from an S then you should use the cables that come with the X. They are better and cheap hdmi cables might not support the same standards the console uses.

Got the call yesterday and got the official confirmation today. Be nice if it arrived for Christmas, but I know that is wishful thinking.
Spent less than $10 total on this and still have codes in my account. Wish I could give them away.
I originally was doing random 5 code dumps, gave up for a while and then did a few of 1 code an hour and that did it.
Good luck to all that are still trying....it can be done!

Maybe Microwave's theory of people who put in a lot of codes don't get picked is correct lol.
I have been very regular, it's not like i'm putting in 40 codes at a time. Just been pretty consistent.
I dunno man.

Output:
One S: HDMI 2.0
One X: HDMI 2.1
So, ideal to use what is given. Especially if you have a good TV!
Further information on the difference between 2.0 and 2.1:
