Xbox 360 Elite - Game Of The Year Bundle Review

Item Name:  Xbox 360 Elite - Game Of The Year Bundle

Price: 7380 Swagbucks




Swagbucks Information: Get the best games of the year straight out of the box with the Xbox 360 Elite Game of the Year Bundle.

Snag this prize and you'll receive:
* Xbox 360 Elite Black Console
* Halo 3
* Fable II
* 120GB Hard Drive
* Black Wireless Controller
* Black Wired Headset
* HDTV-ready component HD AV cable
* HDMI cable
* Ethernet cable

Review: Xbox 360 is the best-selling of this generation's consoles, but it may not actually be better then the PS3. Halo is definantly a series that keeps people buying Xbox's rather then Playstation's. But with PS3's going down in price to be equal with 360's, I think they might lose some sales. Overall they are probably going to be more expensive then PS3's because you have to buy the internet. I personally think I'd rather get a PS3 but i'm biased because I have a PS3.
Halo 3 is a great game with a ton of people online all the time. It is defiantly worth the buy and getting it in the bundle is pretty awesome. Halo 3's story isn't too excellent but their online games make up for it.
Fable II is a great game, i've heard. But I have never actually played so i'm sorry I can't review it.
I'd say this bundle is awesome but you also might want to look at the PS3 bundle.

Swagbucks or Amazon: Is it better to get it with Amazon cards, then buy it directly from the Swagstore? The Answer: Amazon by 4410 swagbucks. The price off the swagstore is 7380 swagbucks. You can get the system for about $270 on amazon, then you get Halo 3 for $30, and Fable II for $30. This comes to a total of $330. To get $330 on amazon you'll need to get 66 $5 amazon cards. Each amazon card is 45 swagbucks so 45x66 is 2970 swagbucks. So the price of it using amazon is 2970 swagbucks. That means you save 4410 swagbucks.

Rating: Haven't started this system yet, but it will be up and running pretty soon.

Review: The Wii seems like the worst system of this generation's consoles. The games for it are alright but none of them seem amazing. This system seems more of a family orientated system. The shooter games for it are below average. The only reason people bought the Wii was because it was interactive but now Xbox 360 and PS3 are coming out with their own better versions of the interactive play. Personally I think the Wii is a waste of money and I traded in mine to help me get a PS3.
Wii Sports is nothing to write home about. It's fun to play when you have no other games, but all of the other games for the Wii are a lot better.
Wii Fit is probably the best part of the bundle. If you think you need to get fit and want a game to help you do it this is a good game for that. I think it's pretty good but not worthing getting a Wii for it. I think that if you have a Wii it's a nice edition. But maybe you should get just the system then the game with amazon cards or if they have it on swagbucks.

Swagbucks Or Amazon: Is it better to buy amazon cards, then buy it off of Amazon or off of the Swagstore? The Answer: Amazon by 3670 swagbucks . It is 7495 swagbucks on the Swagstore. The price on Amazon is $425 but it comes with another game with it. This was the closest thing I could find to the bundle on Amazon(click on Amazon to go directly to the item). 425/5=85. 85 is the amount of $5 Amazon gift cards you would have to buy to get the amount on Amazon. 85x45. 45 is the number of swagbucks for each amazon gift card so you would need the amount of swagbucks for 85 of them. That comes out to 3825 swagbucks for it using Amazon Gift Cards. So if you use Amazon you save 3670 swagbucks. That is a huge save.
Shipping Time: On the Swagstore, I would say about 3 weeks to 2 months but it depends on where you live. On Amazon, from 1-32 business days. So, you get it a lot faster on Amazon most likely.

Rating: Haven't started this system yet, but it will be up and running pretty soon.

Guide To Swagcodes

Another way to pick up a few more swagbucks every once in a while, is Swagcodes. Swagcodes are codes you get from the swagbucks creators that give you extra swagbucks. These codes can be found in many places. I will be giving you updates on when codes are out and where to find them. I WILL NOT ACTUALLY TELL YOU THE CODE, ONLY WHERE TO FIND IT!! To use the code copy it, and then go to the homepage and look under the thing that tells you how many swagbucks you have. Under it there should be a bar in a red box and put the code in that. If it worked it will tell you, you have have earned X swagbucks It's against swagbucks rules to post active codes, so i won't be doing that. They may not be for that much but every swagbuck gets you closer to whatever your trying to get. So please subscribe to my RSS feeds so you get the updates for the swagcodes right away.



There are four main ways to get swagcodes. The first way is the toolbar. To download the toolbar go here: http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-plugins. On the toolbar there is a button next to the logout button that says "From TSG". If the number near it says 1 it means there is a swagcode out(it still says it when it's expired though). Click on it then find the message and click on it. It will open a new page with the code that will be in quotations. Post that in the place i already told you about. Another place to find swagcodes is on the swidget. To download the swidget go here: http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=gn-s1-widgetgrab. Occasionally the swidget will have a code that you can get. But this doesn't have as many codes as the toolbar. Another way to get swagcodes is to join their facebook page. Every once in a while TSG will put a swagcode on there. The last way to get swagcodes is the SwagHunt. A swaghunt is when the swagbucks creators make you have to find all the letters or numbers of the swagcode. These usually start on the blog then make you go looking for them in the swagstore or a sponsored website. Make sure to check out my blog to find out when one of these begins.

Well there you have it that's about all there is to know about swagcodes. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please email me at

Guide To Referrals

If you haven't signed up for Swagbucks yet click on the picture above


The best way to get swagbucks, by far is referrals. Referrals are people you bring to the site. When a person you referred gets a swagbuck by searching you get one too. You can get up to 100 swagbucks they get. In order to get a referral you must use your special link or the banners that are on your page. On the top of the page find the black bar then look on it for Promote. Click it and when it scrolls down press on Promote Banners. When you click on it, it will go to a page that you'll see a guy with a speech bubble with a link inside. That's your referral link and if you scroll down you'll see tons of banners you can choose. Put those on your website or anywhere you want. By the way use the html code not the img code.



The way to start getting referrals is to get your close friends to join. Having them join first is good because they are most likely to be active referrals. And you can always to get them to be more active by bugging them about it. If you are having trouble getting your friends to join, try this tip. Save your swagbucks and order something small from the swag store. Once it arrives at your house, use that to prove to them swagbucks really works.



Once you get your first couple referrals, let's say about 10 to 20, you'll need to branch off a bit. Go for people in your community but maybe not as close to you. Keep trying to make sure they stay active. Go around school and put up some fliers(with permission, of course). Also try to find a place online to advertise(that allows it). Maybe make a video and post it on youtube. The video could be about how to win swagbucks or showing people what you have won.



Once you have a lot of ACTIVE referrers you should start to find a way to reach everyone you can. You might want to start a blog like this one. The best thing you can do is help people not just try and get more people. People will keep coming back if you try to help. Another thing you can do is get something big like a game system or something a lot of people would want. Then make a video of you unboxing it. Tell them that you got it for free with swagbucks and that it's really easy. Make sure they know your not just trying to make them join for your benefit, let them know that it's a actually a cool site. In your blog and videos you can put tips to getting more swagbucks, although you have probably already been doing this, these tips will seem better. People will think your tips are better because you have become successful using them and will want to try to. This will bring a lot of people to your videos and blog. The last thing is redeeming for a Swagbucks T-Shirt. I've heard many people saying that they were walking around and had people asking them what Swagbucks was. This will probably not get you as many as the other tips but every referral counts.



Now that you have learned the three steps to getting referrals you should start trying them out now. If you have any questions or have another tip I can add either comment this post or email me: swagmaker@gmail.com Please put in here how this advice was and how many referrals your able to get. Good luck!

Start Winning!!

I found an awesome website a couple weeks ago called Swagbucks. If you've never heard of Swagbucks before then I'll tell you all about it. Swagbucks is a search engine powered by Google, but when you search you could possibly win a swagbuck. This swagbuck could be for 1,2,3,4,5,10,20,50,100 swagbucks on a normal day. Friday's are mega swagbucks days where the chance of getting 3 or more swagbucks on one search is increased. When you get enough swagbucks you can redeem them for prizes. The prizes go from songs and wallpapers to video game systems and other electronics. I am new to this site and have been on for about a month. I have redeemed a $5 gift card to Used Video Game Store and a $5 Amazon Gift Card. Now I have 33 swagbucks and I'm going for my second $5 Amazon gift card for 45 swagbucks.









A few tips to get a lot of swagbucks:



1. Make swagbucks your primary search engine. This will make it so if you are searching something for school and your not even thinking about swagbucks you still might win.




2. Get the new toolbar. Swagbucks just introduced a new toolbar that gives you many features. The newest feature is you can get swag codes(codes that you put into the site to get another few swagbucks) from the toolbar.




3. Follow swagbucks on Twitter and Facebook. This really is just a way to keep up with the site in an easier way. These sites will help you keep on top of contests and swag codes.




4. Refer your friends. This is probably the best way to get swagbucks. When you get someone to come using your link when they get a swagbuck for searching you do too. You'll keep getting those swagbucks up until they have 100.




There are the basics on getting swagbucks. Hope you get a lot and all the links on here our under my referral link so thanks a ton. Comment on this blog post with what you've gotten from swagbucks and your experiences and anything else you want me to add to this post.
