And you thought we didn't notice your 80+ comments on the previous announcement post for Microsoft's X Marks the Spot giveaway. Well, we noticed and we're just as crazy (look to the right for proof) about solving the ten daily puzzles, so feel free to use this post to discuss, help eachother and win.But, for those who aren't familiar with the green X game, listen up. If you head on over to the X Marks the Spot giveaway page you'll be able to register (unless you have Firefox*) and start your search. Each day, for 36 days, they'll post ten daily clues that lead to various gaming or sponsor related websites. Then, on each website, you'll have to spot a word that has a green X in its spelling. That friends is the keyword that'll answer the question and give you an entry. Each entry you unlock (ten total per day) will enter you into daily, weekly and grand prize drawings, so the more you answer the more chances you'll have at winning goods. But know that every day's questions are different and can only be answered the day they are live, so there's no going back. Good luck and help eachother out, because we want a fanboy winning a new car or Dew mini fridge!
*Good eyes, but the Firefox "clue" is total bologna. We just felt like messing with your head, but nice clue spotting nonetheless.

Notice the clue says "EA Asks...." - Unfortunately, that doesn't help, since I don't see any on EA's site for the game, either.

What a clever marketing ploy. But since I never win these types of contests anyways, I'd rather *not* subject myself to page after page of sponsor websites and advertisements. I get subconsciously pelted with enough ads throughout my day as it is.

I don't know why people post answers for these things. You're officially making it way more difficult for each person to win.

Neither am I...well...a minor one.
I use tabs, and once I go into the XMTS site, I can't switch to another tab unless I switch to a whole new window, in which case Firefox switches to my desired tab while I'm not looking. It's very infuriating, but I've found a solution: I'll keep all my tabs in one window and the XMTS website in a whole other separate window.
I'm having no problems registering though...
I've also seen a lot of BS/to-be-used-in-the-future green X's on the beaches website.
Oh, and Dustin, congrats on being in the top 10. Too bad you're not there anymore...lol
I'm gonna try and get all 360 of them. :D Hopefully!

That is so lame to post the answers. Everyone should be able to find the answers themselves. It's not that hard. That's the point of this. The people who can find all of them get more entries compared to the people who can't. If everyone has 10 entries per day, what's the point of the scavenger hunt even?

Finding answers is cool and all. But damn finding them on anything EA is annoying.
