I saw this on slickdeals.net and filled it out pretty quick... I doubt we're going to get these.

Just like a year or 2 back they had some kind of little quiz thing and were supposed to be giving out copies of XP Home... nothing ever came.

Like they always say, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Man, we really got a good deal...about half a year ago, we had UPS (we use them for shipping small packages) send a small notification about a survey, and they'd send a 128 MB drive. I filled it out (head of shipping where I'm at,) only about 5-10 questions. Very easy and quick. Took a minute. 4 months later, it arrives. All silver and black with a UPS logo, and the necklace thingy.

Though these things are getting extremely cheap nowadays. You can get a 1GB version for only 30-40 bucks with rebates every single week! :)Sometimes lower!

Audi Canada is .ca
I have no idea where the .com would take you. The firewall at work blocks it, calling it a gambling site.

Also, it doesn't seem like you can link directly to the .ca site. If you enter www.audicanada.ca and do a search on brochure request the page comes up. It looks like requesting info on the A3 is the only model that offers the USB key. (32mb)

I'm trying for this one, we'll see what happens.

In case any of you are wondering the drive is 16MB.

Aw man! What am I gonna do with 16MB flash? I was hoping for 128MB at least.

Oh well. Didn't cost much. Didn't come yet either.

I bought a gig key the other day too... my 256 stick was allways too full

Hockeyboy · « **Reply #51 on:** April 15, 2006, 12:19:56 am »

Can't get 'em anymore...Microsoft now has a message thanking all those who showed interested, but you simply download the files directly.

No free key anymore.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #52 on:** April 15, 2006, 04:13:42 am »

well they promised me mine of course that was 5 weeks ago

Jabba · « **Reply #53 on:** April 15, 2006, 11:14:13 am »

Oh good - a download link! I was worried I wouldn't be able to access the material I would have gotten on the USB drive.

Whew!

Got the same e-mail too. I am in the US and sold 20k worth of MS product last year. Sigh.

We'll see if they respond:

I'm a little confused at this reply. I signed up for the free USB drive over two-months ago. Exactly how many USB drives were available?

-Mike

So did ANYONE get one or know of someone that did?

DrewKaree · « **Reply #73 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:37:22 pm »

Based on the representative sampling, I'd suspect everyone got the same e-mail. Obviously it's a form letter, but it was quite misleading since it said nowhere that it was limited to the U.S. only, and actually started telling people when they were supposedly "out" of offers.

For whatever reason, I now get the feeling that my PC was mined for info while on that site.

Havok · « **Reply #74 on:** May 27, 2006, 10:30:31 am »

Yup - just got my shafted letter too. And I entered about a month before it was posted here..

I think they had just 1, so they could say they were giving it away. Now they have a nice little current database, to send spam\e-mail to...

Ghoward · « **Reply #75 on:** May 27, 2006, 11:37:32 am »

I got that email too, last time I checked Florida was in the USA!

Oh well thats the last time I am going to waste my time filling in something for Microsoft.
