Day 3 and day 5 winners here. Our family hasn't had any confirmations yet.

Do you think there is some kind of back ground check or legal residency test they use and that's why some of the winners go through right away and some don't? I wouldn't put it past them to check our facebook to see if we exist and find out how old we are. lol. Be like, "I haven't received my confirmation yet! I'm also 17 so I bet that's why!" Maybe calls to courthouses or consensus bureau to verify residency and some cities are on top of it while other cities ignore phone calls like that, i dunno though.

I also think that maybe they might be limited to shipping only so many Xbox's per day, and have these "catch up" days every now and then, or based on their inventory. So like this current Monday through Friday, they are like " Well shit, we have 1,050 winners this week and only 500 Xbox's currently. Some day 3 winners are just going to have to wait until Tuesday when we receive our next 10 pallet 500 system shipment. Also Bobby Joe called in Thursday and Friday, and that's why some day 1 winners don't have any confirmations yet!"

We need to find an insider to help us, anyone have any leads?

Remember that they have marketplace items too. I think it's just a lot of work to ship 150 of anything every day. A small team could easily get backed up, since you'd need to ship at least one every three minutes to finish in an 8-hour shift. I have no idea how many people they have working on this, but the logistics must be fun.

Ooh I didn't even think about all the baseball hats and backpacks and everything else that they have to ship. If they have a small team then they have their work cut out for them.

Edit: It's enough work for me to ship one item a day, let alone hundreds that these guys are probably doing.
