Microsoft Giving Away 110 Copies Of Office 2010 (Sydney Only)

41

Office 2010 officially goes on sale on June 15 next week. Getting a cheap copy isn’t that easy, but Sydneysiders have the chance to try and win a copy of the Home and Business edition if they can get to Martin Place next Tuesday lunchtime.

To qualify, you have to be one of the first 110 people to check in on Foursquare at the Office Mayor Meetup 2010 event, and you also have to be Foursquare ‘mayor’ of your regular workplace. We’ve noted before that Foursquare can be useful, but admit we didn’t think of this particular option.

Given that Office 2010 carries a fairly hefty price tag (and that there’s no upgrade pricing available), we suspect this could turn a bit messy. However, if you’re in the Sydney CBD anyway (and no-one else in your own office cottons on), it might be worth popping along. Hit the Facebook link below for more details.

Also: Not a Foursquare mayor? It's OK! We're printing up t-shirts for regular citizens.

    hi only paid $11.00 for my copy. got it through work.

    • likewise, but via work wanted A$15, so I got it thru work via NZ at NZ$10 which will convert to approx A$8.50

      • Wow, wish I had known earlier.. just paid $15 for it (cheap as chips but $8.50 is better!).

    Getting a cheap copy isn’t that easy

    Don't forget students and teachers get to score it for $75 via the Its Not Cheating promotion.

    • What about anyone that doesn't fall under that category?

      Gets a negative from me for being Sydney only

      And?
      Probably half the stuff posted here is specific to some place or another.

      • I agree, you don't neg because it is specific to a place

          If it's a local organisation or store sure, but Microsoft is not local so any giveaway should not be either.

          • @wfdTamar: i dont give neg vote for an offer that i couldn't get eg. in another state
            a bargain is a bargain
            boo on you wfdTamar hahaha

              @joeydee: That isn't why I neg'd it. Boo to you three for not being able to understand a simple point.

          • @wfdTamar: "Microsoft Australia's headquarters are located at 1 Epping Rd., North Ryde, NSW 2113"

            • -1

              @heatseeker424: and using that logic the offer should only be available in North Ryde - or Epping Road - or only if you arrive at their doorstep surely?
