23SepFankoo. Fankoo.

A big thank you to those of you who helped me out when it came to Xbox Live ‘trials’, when I reverted back to Silver and being unable to afford another Gold subscription. Your help was very much appreciated and in numbers beyond my wildest expectations.

So I think it’s only fair that I thank you all here on my blog, so a big thank you and manly hug to you all, but I’d like to take this moment to really thank one of you in particular.

Thank you Zico, who helped me out three times, once with a voucher code for an Alternate outfit in Ninja Gaiden II, a 1-month Xbox Live GTA trial and a 12+1 Month Xbox Live voucher which was certainly the biggest shock of last month for me.

Once again, thank you to you all.

Scary Squirrel, Haly x3h, KennyBhoy, Zico all of whom gave me 1 month, Xbox Live vouchers.
McDaniel who gave me a 3 month Xbox Live voucher.
Zico UK who gave me a 13 month Xbox Live voucher.

Thanks to you all I am now covered until February 2010. Fantastic.
For anyone I have forgotten about, I really do apologize, your gesture was fantastic and it’s not my intention  to leave you out.

    Wow Zico was generous!

    Zico is an absolute legend, a total gentleman and scholar.
    I sat next to him at the LAN last year and he’s a fantastic guy.

    Zico is awesome. ALL HAIL!

    He also reminds me of someone I met at a LAN on time…..

    You’re welcome Nokkon.

    I happened to be shopping around for two Xbox Live sub’s for my brothers when I came across this site http://www.xboxliveuk76.com . I simply thought ‘what the hell’ and picked up a third sub for Nokkon.

    But wait, there’s more!

    I’m going to share some more generosity around (Haly and Psymonkee please feel free to spread the word on your blogs).

    I’ve found, tucked away in my desk draw, a list of XBLA game codes that I received from the 360 refer a friend offer which ran quite some time ago.

    I’m offering up the following:

    3D Mini Golf
    Assault Heroes
    Big Board Games
    Marble Blast
    Street Fighter 2
    Sonic the Hedgehog

    In the interest of being fair I would prefer to give out one code per person so that the maximum of six people will benefit from this.

    Damn you are generous – looking to steal my crown eh? :p

    Do the vouchers expire?

  6. 6 Zico24 Sep 2008

    No idea Psy mate. I’ve used a few of the codes but that was closer to the time when they were sent out.

  7. 7 Soulja24 Sep 2008

    Very generous of you Zico :) any chance i could have the 3d mini golf code? :D

  8. 8 NokkonWud24 Sep 2008

    If anyone doesn’t have Marble Blast, I really recommend it. It’s a brilliant game. I sadly rarely play Arcade games, other than Hexic nothing really gets much of a look in.

  9. 9 Haly24 Sep 2008

    Extremely generous of you Zico :)

  10. 10 Matt24 Sep 2008

    I’ll take Street Fighter off your hands if it’s going. I’ll love it like it was one of my own and give it a good home :)

    My XBox live id is Laverick

  11. 11 Zico24 Sep 2008

    Soulja and Matt, codes are on there way.

    Note I am holding out on two codes for E4 and Zuma until I make up my mind if I want those for my greedy self :D .

  12. 12 NokkonWud24 Sep 2008

    lol. You should take them matey. But if you don’t… ;)

  13. 13 Haly24 Sep 2008

    Zuma’s great, I’d definitely recommend keeping it :)

  14. 14 Zico24 Sep 2008

    Matt & Soulja codes were sent via Live! so will be in your messages next time you log on.

    Zuma did keep me occupied when it came out so I may still hold onto that. I’m not sure about E4. I did try the trial ages ago but I will have to give it another go.

  15. 15 NokkonWud25 Sep 2008

    Don’t bloody say that Haly! That’s the one I want! :p.

  16. 16 Matt25 Sep 2008

    Ahh thanks for that. I’ll be sure to send anything your way that i come across :D

  17. 17 Soulja25 Sep 2008

    Code works fine, thanks again Zico! :D

  18. 18 Davey25 Sep 2008

    Very generous of you Zico, absolute star IMO. I wouldn’t say no to the Sonic code if it’s still going? :)

  19. 19 Davey25 Sep 2008

    Heh, forgot to mention that it’s DaveyPitch here, in case you didn’t know :)

  20. 20 Zico25 Sep 2008

    Sonic code sent Davey.

    Remaining:
    Assault Heroes
    Big Board Games
    Marble Blast

    Possibly:
    E4
    Zuma

  21. 21 NokkonWud25 Sep 2008

    In the possibly catagory I’m interested in Zuma :p.

  22. 22 ScarySquirrel26 Sep 2008
