GameStop Treasure Hunt Thursdays: An End, Once and For All

What happens when GameStop tries to give away $5 Xbox Live codes but their website is overloaded? What happens when one man refuses to give up? Is there a happy ending? Find out in this touching video of a giveaway gone wrong and the many people it affected.

-----

Those of you who participated in GameStop's giveaway yesterday will know there was a "maximum user limit" implemented that caused the website to not work for many people. I decided to record my attempt at getting it to work while overlaying comments from people around the Internet trying to do the same thing and set it to sad music. Hope prevailed in the end for many, and in the contest's last minutes a lot of people were able to finally get codes.

Did you participate in the promotion? Did you stop after getting your $5, or did you keep going?
