need help with FPP's

[will641]

I'm having a big dilemma right now. i got about 68k fpp's, and i dont know what to get. i kinda want an ipod, or a camera, or some other shit. i really want a wii but i dont know when they'll put it back up. what do i do?

[Trikflow77]

take the cash bonus and go buy one. It isnt that hard to find them online.

Onecall.com GC's are a great value for Stars FPPs. I am saving for a monster HDTV flat panel TV. Onecall has lots of electronics, but no gaming systems.

Wallpaper your house with moneymaker posters, obv.

Haha.

Seriously though I'd go with the electronics gift certificate and go buy the wii or xbox yourself.

I'm saving up for the concierge service (186k needed), such amazing value.

What are you planning on doing with it?

[pgil]

anyone know the details on the travel cards? what sort of restrictions they have, are they in US funds, etc.

They've regularly being allowing concierge service purchases of much lower value.

I believe you have to travel through a certain website:
Q: Can I book with Expedia or another online provider?
A: No, travel must be booked through ePlatinum Travel.

per: http://www.pokerstars.com/fpp/store/...tificates/faq/


And yes, what is the concierge service good for? Examples?

i used it for a 1k amazon gift card and a 300 dollar victory secret gift card

What is the point value or exchange rate for gift certificates via concierge service? Onecall.com is about $0.016/FPP, Supernova bonus is $0.015/FPP by comparison.

yeah but with the bonus you can buy whatever you want wherever you want. i get the idea that onecall doesnt have the best deals

[kingnat]

Just browse the onecall website if you know that you want something... they are good for several things (TVs, moniters, cameras, MP3 players, etc.)... but not unlimited stuff. You can also wait a bit for sales to occur. I got a 37" Sharp Aquos 720p for <$1200 in September. If they don't have the things you're interested in then it's obviously not a viable option, but i've had great service with them in my two transactions.

I haven't checked but I'm guessing you can get WAY better value by getting the onecall GC and then buying an iPod than you could just getting the iPod straight through Stars.

[will641]

wait so is the concierge service that they just buy you whatever you want depending on how many FPP's you have?

[Lukie]

i think i have like 900k fpp's

[will641]

i think i have like 900k fpp's

lol you could just buy the whole store excluding the EPT trips, car, etc.

[WildBobAA]

What are you going to do w/ those Lukie? You could get a main event package if you wanted to.

Bump? Anyone?

I don't think that they have computer monitors available that I have seen. As for TVs I am working toward a Sharp Aquos, but I've heard bad things about banding/ghosting issues on some of their LCDs. Have you had any problems and would you recommend an Aquos?

[WildBobAA]

I have 2 26" Aquoses from Pstars and they are spectacular, I've had no problems w/ them at all

[szamvan]

collect some more for:

heh, i bought the 700k '07PCA package a little over a year ago, so it's a possibility. The only thing I really wanted was the wii, but they are out of stock, and I hardly ever play my 360 as is, so....

[meeloche]

I thought I remember seeing a thread about someone wanting to get an xbox. Couldn't find it so I'm posting here, anyways I was looking in the store and it no longer says out of stock for the xbox. Wii is still sold out though.

[WildBobAA]

I just ordered a PS3 last week

[Deanglow]

Stars finally got the PS3 and 360 back in stock for U.S. players. Prolly getting both hoorah

What a beat this turned out to be. I hardly ever play my PS3 and I never play my Wii. All I really need is my 360. I should have just gotten an iPod touch or something.

Yeah my bf and I never play with our wii either. We used to at least use it for Rock Band but we realized that the 360 version is 100x better, so we got a 360 and haven't used our wii since. We use our N64 more than our wii :P
