It will take me only 29 days of logging in, doing the daily stuff, and watching a FEW vids[that being 7-10 which are not very lengthy] whgilst they're muted and I"m in another tab to get enough PTZ to get a PS3.

If it's that easy, why doesn't everyone have a PS3? No, not just that - a very few people have a PS3 from Lockerz. How do you explain this?

Well that's pesimistic, really, you can use the firefox addon and just mute and froget for a while and do something elss.
It's called multi-tasking.

Well, then there's nothing to lose, I guess. Still, see above - what are the chances of actually getting a good prize?
What exactly does this firefox add-on do? Does it play videos for you automatically?

All I need? 53 PTZ a day. Sorry for the double post.

Hate to crush your dreams, but the PS3 costs more than 1500 points. That's how many you get for buying it.

Since the redeem section is down, I don't know what the actual prices are. Dragging the 'discount using my points' slider to 100% gave me ~32000... which is hilarious.

Dude I hear there's all these places around the world where you spend eight hours of your time, and they'll give you $55, just for putting hamburgers on a press-grill! Why doesn't everyone do this?

[Nolor]

Well, places around here don't hire 14-year olds. Why anyone who could actually get a job would use Lockerz, though, is a mystery.

I thought minimum wage was a lot higher nowadays. It's around $8.50, here.

[x2yzh9]

I just calculated it.
Goddamnit. Oh well, I guess some things are too good to be true.

[smigenboger]

last time I checked i's US$7.30 in Ohio, did it go up? If so, I thought I was doing alright with $9.25, now that seems bad. Weekday shift gets $8.25

[Nolor]

$10.25 Canadian ($9.88 USD) in Ontario. Minimum wage is crazy high nowadays -- it's increased a lot over the past 10 years.

[Criptfeind]

Don't forget that in the Us you also have to abide by the federal wage as well.

Ohio's wage is still at 7.3 though.
Fed is 7.25

I really just figure lockerz as a way to pass time right now while I wait for my application to go through.

It takes 28 days of 53 points a day to get the equivelent of the reward of purchasing the PS3.
If the PS3 is, therefore, at least TWICE that for the reward, that means that you must work a minimum of 28 days to pay for it (with 56 days as a member)

How many hours does it take to earn 53 points a day?

At 8.50 an Hour, you would have to work (before taxes) about 30 hours to get it. (assuming a Gamestop refurbished 40GB PS3. Their most expensive one would take about 48 hours.)

40 hours a week is full time employment. So, what is the dollar value of a lockerz point? I doubt it is even close to a fraction of minimum wage.

[Criptfeind]

The answer is of course get a job where you can sit around the computer all day getting 'pointz.'

It depends on the location- in Washington, it's about $8 (not sure exactly). But the cost of living here is a lot higher (for a random benchmark, soda cans cost more than twice as much) than in, say, Arizona, where the minimum wage is something to the tune of $3. Also, all I need to know about Lockerz is that they spam 4chan. That's kind of it.

[Criptfeind]

Washington has 8.55 (the highest in the US) and Arizona has 7.25 (The same as the fed)

It's especially useful if you live out in the middle of nowhere, where you can feed yourself for $50 a month.
