[quote name='louiedog']Since the Search Perks thing is going until the spring and they're holding voting for a new prize, I don't think this is the end. Maybe they're dropping a prize supplier? With the exception of the timer, all of the kitchen related stuff is gone. Gaming stuff has come in and gone out since LSC began, so hopefully the stuff that's gone will be back or replaced with some new, better stuff.[/quote]
I doubt they changed suppliers, since the current one has been very effiecient based on getting prizes to people. Though, on the flip side, maybe that's part of the problem, maybe not checking for botters hard enough or burning through their prize stash pretty quickly.
I doubt it is the end, especially with Search Perks. More than likely they've run out of stock filling orders for older stuff, however that doesn't explain the loss of many Zune Accessories (Except the headphones were obviously mass-ordered sicne people were able to get up to 20 at 1 aderess, and maybe many were duped into thinking the Zune AV came w/ speakers).
Actually, I think there might be another factor. With XMAS coming up soon, do you think Microsoft would add stuff that they could make a huge profit on in December? That would explain why stuff like the kitchen items and Zune/360 accessories are gone, but not stuff like Rock Band which is an old product (though they might just've run out of those...)
