Still haven’t seen any “game-piece” Pepsi’s around here. Oh well.
I got one winner in lake in the Hills, IL. However the code would not work on the iTunes web site. I tried all sorts of varations. “B” instead of an “8”, etc. I need to send the cap to Apple. PITA. (Pain in the ###)
Cant find any damn game pieces in westchester, bronx or NYC. Even when they do show the advertising.
ARRGHH
So far I have collected 4 songs. Cleveland, Ohio
Found and freely downloaded 1 song in Voorhees, NJ…at a Target store.
So far I’m 3 winners for 3 bottles. Yellow caps are in Middletown, OH (greater Cincinnati).
Me too! 3 winners for 3 bottles. I also had trouble entering the code in iTunes, so I called the Customer Service number on the tops of the cap. The kicker is they say, “Thank you for calling Pepsi,” not “Thank you for calling Apple (or iTunes).”
you losers. my wife has won 3 out of 4 tries… AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
if you weren’t such a lousy flop in bed, donnie, I wouldn’t need to drink so much pepsi
BOOHHOOOOHOOOHOOOOOO.
Southern Tier of NY, Lost 3 times. Cant find them at the Supermarket, only the Gas Stations and Delis.
No bottles with caps but I have 5 “winners” from 7-11 cups. so far 5 out of 9 cups were winners
“It agrees that if users use and choose iTunes then they will be more likely to buy Apple’s music player in preference to competing products. “
More likely? I don’t think they would have a choice.
Haven’t seen any yellow caps here in NYC.
Haven’t found then in San Fran yet
I haven’t seen them in SF either. But I’ve seen them in Sacramento. Try Best Buy….
Is it cheating if I stand in line and look under the caps? =P
I haven’t seen a Pepsi marked for the promotion here in Columbia, SC. I would like to spread the joy of winning a free song from a product I already drink.
5 out of 8 in Syracuse NY.
wow, I didn’t realize I had it so good. One bad code entry, shipped off the other day so they can email me a new code, my other 10 winners were fine (not including my two winners today as I haven’t gotten home to enter them yet). Even downloaded a Thelonius Monk tune in honor of our MDN friend, thelonius mac! It’s been a great time for my wife’s 15 gb iPod that I gave her for Valentine’s! New U2, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis!
And Jayplus, if its cheating to look under the caps before buying, then I’m guilty, but all this caffeine has increased my impatience, leading to 3 losing caps out of 16.
It’s too bad that this promotion does’nt work in the state of GA. Yet to see any itunes/pepsi in any store.
Exiled to So. CA, behind the Orange curtain. The only free iTunes around here come on a 7-11 Big Gulp or Slurpee cup. The Pepsi franchise first chose to go with an NBA (Lakers) promo, now all I see are NFL promo caps, or the generic blue ones.
Slurp! Gulp!
Last time I checked, ALL “competing players utilize an incompatible file format”. Is there now another player that will play AAC/Fairplay files? I know it’s not a simple prefix that is inaccurate, but still…someone could have called them on it.

Post your winning code here so we can check that for you. Better yet, email it to me.
Still a no-show in Hawaii. =(
Hey!!!! He’s not that bad in bed.
34 songs so far. I think I drink too much soda. Central PA.
