Free xbox offer?
Taken from http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...d.php?t=138734
Quote:
starting 14/7/4 ntl are starting a new offer limited to the first 10000 or for 3 weeks whichever is 1st
all NEW bb customers can have free x box with 2 months free x box live midtown madness 3 full game and headset mic etc. the catch! a £50 setup cost (ie not free installation)
if your interested leave a message on this thread with ur mail address ill mail u and contact u to make sure your one of the 1st 10000
REMEMBER NEW BB CUSTOMERS ONLY! NOT UPGRADES ETC SO GET CANCELING IF YOUR PAST UR 12MONTH PERIOD AND REORDER THRU MYSELF FOR FREE XBOX!
PS YES I WORK IN SALES! but im not the ones that call u up and annoy u during ur dinner etc

Ok this doesn't sound viable, either because of the xbox nor the fact that this person can't spell.
So can a real ntl person state whether it is true or not?

Erm, I do not think a real ntl official would request users to post down their e-mail addresses publicly like that.

Re: Free xbox offer?
But I just PM'd this person & have signed up & have my free xbox already.
I am well happy playing Midtown Madness 3 for just getting BB.
Although I cant access my email any more, its got too much cpam in it, takes hours to load a page.

Re: Free xbox offer?
It is true, I work for ntl and this is a new offer launching tomorrow, the only drawback I can see on this is that you have to pay an install fee of £50.00. Other than that it is an excellent deal!
As for suggesting existing customers (out of contract) cancel and sign up again then I think that is inappropriate to suggest on a forum. Although I'm sure many ntl customers will think about doing this anyway.

Nice one, hopefully the kind people on this board will send an email to ntl now, including the details of the scam, and the IP address you used to make this post, and we can all have a little chuckle at your expense.

Re: Free xbox offer?
the offer is true and will be launched tomorrow , although i sure the rules on that or any site would frown on people advertising trying to earn themselves money!!!

What do you mean DieDieMyDarling? All I was saying is that any ntl customer doesn't need someone from ntl suggesting that they disconnect and reconnect on a new deal as a way to get a 'free' xbox, most can work out if this is a cost effective way to get the deal or not bearing in mind you are signing a new 12 month contract.

Re: Free xbox offer?
AFAIK the xboxes with the Midtown Madness 3 were all part of a promotion & the boxes were marked up as promotion packs, I got one for £95 so it is feasable that NTL were able to purchase a load of them at reduced prices.
We will have to wait & see, I wonder what the catch will be, oh yes - there will be no getting away from "having" to have the games consol service too.

Hi Jayne, what problems have you had? (as this is an XBOX forum, feel free to make a post in one of the General ntl Forums here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/forumdisplay.php?f=4
In the meantime, this: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/kb/19/wh...rge-of-ntlhome may help.
