Ohh.... one e-mail per day per prize. Yea, it's to early in the morning for me to read for comprehension (or spell words correctly for that matter).

Yeah, it took me about 15 minutes and re-reading the rules about 50 times for it to sink thorugh. Gotta love Monday mornings.

Well, the trick is though, if you win, let's say, the mouse first and also by chance later, the boomchair, you only get the mouse. One winning prize per day. So you're taking a chance going for a prize you really don't want that you may loose the one you really did want.

I think you can win more than once cant you? Even per day. I understand what you are saying but I didnt think that was true.

You can win more than once, but I dont think you can win more than once per day.. but I could be wrong.

It's in the rules:

"You may enter the contest once a day per prize and once a day for the grand prize. Winning a prize is limited to one win per day."

Off Topic: Call you local target if you want a 360. My girlfriend called this morning on a whim, they just got a shipment in (Target in Chicago). She ran over there and picked up the Premium for me.

Man, I got divorced this year and am FLAT BROKE. I hope I win something so I can have a merry Christmas, 'cause otherwise I'm gonna have to settle for the big fat turd that Santa is gonna leave in my stocking.

I figure the odds of me winning even once are so low that I might as well enter all of them. No way I'm winning twice in one day.

Not to fret...we have a ton more stuff coming this week that you'll be able to enter for.

12-05-2005, 07:47 AM

you suck cubsfan, i jsut did an emergency call to all the local walmarts/target/circuitcitys with no luck. However, target did give out a release of the week before xmas.
thanks for clearing up the rules issue. i was still asleep when i read them this morning. Oh well, if I win 2 things at least I get one. :D

Yeah, my girlfriend called some other targets and none had any in stock. Strange. But they told her they had just gotten the shipment in today, so it's not like the had some 360s lying around from the first shipment that they suddenly put out for sale.

OK just to be clear you can enter for each item once.
And you can enter for the Grandprize once per day.

This means you can enter up to 4 times today in total....

.... I think?

Nope, two times a Day. One for a daily prize, and one for the grand prize.

Correct. Basically we don't want people entering 1000 times for a Boomchair in one day, or 5000 times a day for a gaming PC.

No, you can enter for each prize, including the Grand Prize, once per day. You might as well enter all of them each day.

Except, I thought the "spirit" of this thing is that you shouldn't enter for prizes you don't actually want or would use. I didn't enter for the PSP game, because I don't have one. Sure, I could sell it on ebay or give it away, but better for somebody who really wants the thing to win it.

In addition, we will be adding some packages from Rockstar to the give-away this week. (Even if it means doing some extra drawings after the last day of the give-away.)

Rockstar sez each package will contain, "Limited, exclusive, rare Rockstar promo items and merchandise."

Evil Avatar

12-05-2005, 09:23 AM

And if someone wants them, I have three "almost new" PSP titles I can add to the mix to give away as one prize. They have been opened, but never played.

Spider-Man, FIFA Soccer & Wipeout Pure.

Interesting. Are you going to set an age limit on who can win these items, though. :p

I doubt it. You don't have to be 18 to win a T-Shirt or a Hat, do you??? Heh.

Thanks a bunch, even if I don't win this is amazing that you are doing this. Now I wish I hadn't told all my friends about Ev Av. :)

Wow, really glad I decided to check the news before I left work. Here's me crossing my fingers for the PC, I could really use that since my laptops were stolen. A programmer without a home PC is just a crime in itself.

They're gonna stand in a circle and take (5) Vodka shots each, the one left after the "punching-in-the-face" party stops, gets to then choose a random email from the inbox. But that's if he survives the 2 bums hired for a cooked ham each to take him out with cleavers.

I would love to participate in a punch-in-the-face contest, because i'd enjoy punching some of you squah in the nose.

Kidding, but that would be a great way to win. In the Realm of Geeks, I deem myself mightier of constituition than the average nerd.

Anyway, I entered for everything but the PSP game. I'd love to unlock fitbabits, but I don't own a PSP yet. And I'm an honest man, so I wont enter anything I am not interested in.

The Boom Chair looks cool and of course I want the PC... but actually I'd be super happy with that gaming mouse. The one I'm using right now is a pos that came with my very first computer (about 5 years ago). It'd be great to use a mouse that hasn't had coke spilled on it....

It is going to be pig entrails again this year.
