: I'm pretty sure that's some sort of overlooked glitch, as if you try to play either of those games, it loads up Chicktionary. D14BL0 17:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removed games 

message: No prizes have shipped to anyone since June. The terms of service say limited rewards. Microsoft could theoretically have run out of rewards, and is making pure profit off the website now.
:Can someone confirm anything along this lines?  For when a valid account currently orders a reward, it indicates "In Stock", which would forcibly mean that Microsoft has not run out of rewards. -thurago
I played for an Xbox 360, and got enough points without cheating.  Played everyday to the 1000 ticket limit, and finally had enough to order it, only to hear nothing for 12 weeks.  I inquired about the order and was told that I cheated, so they canceled the prize. Thing is, I did not cheat.  They did.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.53.172 (talk) 17:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The only reason that prizes have not come, is because people have been cheating. Legit play still gets you prizes. I also think this talk page is becoming a 'forum' in itself. 76.223.203.165 21:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I got my prize today (November 3, 2007), so there still is some activity, despite the fact that the actual website seems to be non-existant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.171.0.146 (talk) 20:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shipments 

message: If you check out the link to the previous game, Elvis Lives ( http://club.live.com/elvis_lives.aspx ), the name has been changed to Star Shuffle.  This could be a hint at a re-release of the game. 
Also, does anyone have the current limit on Red Carpet Reveal?  It needs to be added to the main page. CaffeineJunkie 18:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Most of the edits to this page are changing the caps to the games. None of these have been confirmed, and the caps are subject to change at Microsoft's whim anyway.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Youdummy (talk • contribs) 21:52, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They added more tickets a while ago so the caps have been raised. On a side note, I'm sad that I won't be getting three Vista Ultimates. I haven't checked this in a looooooong time. 209.91.61.223 02:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove the 'current cap' section? 

message: I think that the prize list is not really necessary as a Wikipedia article. Maybe just saying that there are prizes would be best. Dude902 (talk) 00:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

message: i played my rear off for points/tickets for over a month and accumulated 1/3 of what i need for a prize.  I tried to access site this am (and still) and cannot get into it.  browser just keeps returning me to msn  home page and says "signing out of live search".  What gives?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.217.86.190 (talk) 21:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  access ability to live search club 

message: There hasn't been an article on this, as far as I know, but Live Search Club has been something of a clusterfuck.  The prizes were worth a lot of money, including Windows Vista Ultimate which retails for $400, and through various forms of cheating could be had after playing for only an hour or so, or could be won legitimately after playing for perhaps 6 hours.
The majority of the players have probably been various types of bots, winning probably tens of thousands of copies of Windows Vista between them.  As of now Microsoft is trying to clean all this up and find ways to stop the bots and other hacking programs from robbing them blind.  I doubt there is a reliable source on all of this yet, though.  --Xyzzyplugh 14:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I reformatted this for you.  Also, Microsoft just pulled all 5,000k+ prizes as of now.  Probably due to the cheaters. --APShinobi My Contribs 00:30, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
