iTunes-Pepsi Bottles Delayed

hmmm......wrong arn....very wron

Ummm I live in syracuse NY right now, and i got a pepsi itunes bottle the day after it was announced (day after supabowl) and i visited NYC 3 weeks ago and they had the bottles all over the place, I think whereever you got the story from they are bullshi**ing you!
 
I might have been mildly interested in this promotional deal IF they had included Mt. Dew.

As it is, I'd rather drink sewer water than Pepsi.

and the songs are only worth a dollar anyway...pretty funny that they didn't make the caps harder to sneak a peak at...

idiots.
 
No luck in NYC so far

I still haven't seen any in NYC, hopefully these new shipments will show up actually on the shelves and in the coolers shortly, not just stuck in the back stockroom. I saw a post from someone else in nyc who saw them right after the Superbowl, but my experience has been quite different.

Here is the thing:

New York City is a big place!

It's like the saying with the economy and jobs. If you have a job, everything is good. The economy couldn't be better. If you don't have a job, the economy is horrible, even despite positive economic figures and such.

If you haven't found a Pepsi-iTunes bottle, it doesn't mean that your entire city doesn't have them, it just means that God hates you. (kidding...)

I have yet to see one on Long Island.

I predict Apple hits 80 million if not slightly over.

Now if Apple could open new ITMS either in Canada or Europe we could see that magical 100 million or something alot closer say 95-98 million.

This is how I've won all 7 of my recent Pepsi buys.
It's faster and easier to pull off while in the store.
4 lines = GO and 3 lines = NO GO.

Old news, you could do this with all the promtions they had. But good to know for the ppl that didn't. Good Pictures by the way.


Also the 7-11 lids you can just pill back to see if you won.

I'm happy they are having a low turn out. It's good to see people not risking their health for a .99 cent song. Put those caps on orange juice bottles!

Who are you, our dad???

I'm sure that you don't eat or drink anything that is bad for you, ever.

I haven't seen any Pepsi bottles with the promotion yet here in L.A. area. I make a point to look them up whenever I'm in a store. Though, I have been winning my free songs from 7 Eleven's Big Gulps..... :) Four out of 7 are winners so far.......

I rather think it's 52 million since iTMS start last year.

What will Steve Jobs say, if they won't reach the 100 million?
Click to expand...

Yes, that is correct. However, the poster didn't say 10 million a month since the beginning, they said 10 million a month since January. Since Apple said they sold 25 million as of December 15, 2003 then I think he was pretty accurate to say 10 million per month starting in January, don't you???

Let me help with the math. 2.5 months (or 10 weeks) since December 15, 27 million songs = about 2.7 million per week (52 million - 25 million) or 10 million per month (actually 10.8 million).

How does apple determine where the connection is coming from? I.E. what stops someone in France from downloading the American version of iTunes, and then using the iTMS. I'm assuming it's based on IP.

It is based on credit card billing info. If you live outside the US but still have a US based credit card billing address you are good to go.

thanks for the life lesson. I do realize that NYC is a big place, which I why I never said that there are no bottles here, just that I have not seen any. Clearly there are some here if others have found them. I am just hoping they become more widely available before this promotion ends.

Not to mention I do have a job, and I would still say the economy sucks, but that's just my opinion again. and there is no God...haha

At least, even though the promotion end March 31, you can redeem until April 30. I haven't used them because I don't know what songs to get.

You don't have to choose the song when you redeem the code. After you enter the code, you just get credit for a song. You can spend that credit whenever you want (before April 30th).
 
This bud's for you!

I dunno, i guess i'm retarded...and so are my friends because we bought a few bottles and even at home, where we need not worry about employees or other customers wondering what the hell we were doing, we tilted the bottles and couldn't tell what the cap said. we raised the bottles over our heads :p he did everything.

maybe we can do it with the clear sierra soda

Actually it is almost impossible to see what it says when the cap is a loser BUT the winners have much more text and you will be able to see the word "song" which is the last word on the cap.

I haven't seen ANY of those bottles (and I've looked!) in the Chicago suburbs, yet.

Bottlers are probably using up old stock before they circulate the new ones. By then, the promotion will be over and we'll all feel cheated!

they're there.

you just have to know where to look. i found some at a target in the 'burbs, but that is the only place. i have seen NONE in Chicago. Only the second city ya know, who needs to sell pepsi in such a small market?

Yeah but Syracuse ain't so big, just a slow dying city in the rustbelt that the cities outside the northeast corridor.

Really, tilting it is not "cheating" it is, in michael feldman's word's, "par for the course." Removing and replacing the cap would be cheating. My wife disagrees, though... and I don't feel guilty- really- I'm trying not to feel guilty- hey, somebody's gotta win!
-Go Apple!
Click to expand...

I agree. Someone else said I was cheating and I said the same thing about removing the cap would be cheating. I'm not going to spend the money on the bottle like an idiot without looking when it is right in front of my face. That would be stupid.

Every song you steal makes it even more unlikely that a non-Mac person will download iTunes to use it. :mad:

Whatever, get a grip. As much damn Pepsi as I buy on a weekly basis I figure I am due to win something.

I miss the promotion they had where you simply got points for every Pepsi product you bought. I came away with a bunch of loot after that promotion.

This early on into a campaign like this, a 'low response' signal does not bode well for the whole digital download medium. Even if the message was 'pleased' I'd have been reading that as 'disappointed'.

But since iTunes is only to sell iPods for Apple, perhaps we should here it from them whether it's been a success or not?

100,000 iPodmini pre-orders seems to suggest that something somewhere is working.

I bought a winning bottle at a gas station in Orland Park, IL. Keep looking!
