Hated the game, but won't turn down a free copy. May or may not have to be an actual student/teacher. From CAG (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=254761)

First 5,000 sign-ups win a copy of Halo: ODST - Microsoft "contest"
<hr style="color: rgb(55, 59, 50); background-color: rgb(55, 59, 50);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> As just announced on their Facebook page, via the following message:

"Microsoft: Do you want a free copy of Halo 3: ODST for the Xbox 360? We are giving away games to the first 5,000 people to sign up for the Imagine Cup before March 15. Head on over to www.imaginecup.us (http://www.imaginecup.us/) and win your free ODST game today!"

To enter, as they said, just head on over to www.imaginecup.us (http://www.imaginecup.us/) and fill-out / create a profile. From what their Facebook status is saying, it pretty much sounds like the first 5,000 are guaranteed a copy of ODST, so it's worth a shot.

I signed up like 5 min ago and got an email saying:

"Congratulations! Please be sure to update your profile with a mailing address by March 15 to receive your copy of Halo 3: ODST. You're also entered into the $10,000 Cash for Students sweepstakes where one lucky winner will win the cash prize just for registering with the world's premier student technology competition."


This was posted noonish EST, and has had like 2500 views. Maybe I was one of the first 5000. Sign up, and we will see together.

Just want your chance at $10,000 cash? Register Today! You don't have to enter to qualify. You could also be one of the 5000 lucky students to win a copy of HaloŽ 3: ODST just for registering through March 15*

That gives me the impression it'll be 5000 picked at random as long as you sign up before March 15th. Never know though.

I dunno, MS said on their Facebook it's the first 5000.

Adjusted the tracker a bit based on some additional tracking numbers I have received... Now showing only 1 lb UPS Ground packages. This cuts the list significantly. If anyone gets an ODST package that is NOT exactly 1.0 lb, or that comes via something other than UPS Ground (service level '03'), please PM/post the tracking number (omit the last 4 digits if you are paranoid).

In case you missed it: http://odst-tracker.addicted-gamer.com/

Also, I checked the reference numbers on those tracking numbers, and none of them are single digit, so that invalidates the search method posted earlier. However, I noticed that they all have 'MGR' as one of the reference numbers:

Track by Reference URL: http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/refer...&WT.svl=SubNav (http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US&WT.svl=SubNav)
Shipment Reference: MGR
Ship Date Range: Apr 14, Apr 22, Apr 26 to Apr 28, Apr 30 (major ship days)
UPS Account Number: 4981F6

Not sure if that reference is specific to this promotion, but ALL of the tracking numbers I was provided show up using that search method. Again, if people send me more tracking numbers I will be able to confirm if this is unique to this promotion.

Also, just FYI, with this additional information I have been able to confirm that 2 of my orders will be shipping next week. Yay!!!

Shows my town has a package scheduled for delivery on Wednesday. Check it out Assmani

I got mine in the mail today.

Sort of surprised when the FedEx guy delivered the package since I completely forgot about signing up for the free game.

check the label again, ups should've delivered it in a fed ex bag.

Yeup your correct. Noticed the bag more than the truck since someone else answered the door and gave me the package. I assumed it must have been a FedEx truck.
