WHAT about ppl from other regions???

i dont see South America on that list...

bug77 · Jul 4, 2006, 01:04 PM

I hope they don't give 115V TVs to people living in 230V areas; somebody just blown up a PC around here because he didn't check a switch

Weird stuff: none of the listed links is of any interest to me...

dont you concern yourself with the voltage, its all been well organised.

as for the "weird stuff" comment, if nothing interests you, you dont have to actually buy anything from the stores, just follow the instructions. its 2 minutes work for the possibility to win some tasty hardware. some people are so lazy ... you want me to do it for you via remote connection? lol.

Zelig · Jul 4, 2006, 01:17 PM

Sweet contest. I liket he rules for enetering, seeing the thread title, I briefly thought it was going to be a 10k posting contest in this thread or something.

YAYitsAndrew · Jul 4, 2006, 01:27 PM

Is there a list of people who entered or a confirmation or anything so we can verify that it worked?

Sweet contest!

We are getting a confirmation added regarding that. good point. it should be ok, but if you are unsure reenter in a few minutes.

Eh, I was just thinking they were promoting more interesting stuff. But I'll just let this one go and follow one of those links

Edit: done!

Sandok · Jul 4, 2006, 02:09 PM

Wow even switzerland? How cool is that! I dunno if it's normal but the X1600 link from STEG gives a "Fehler" (error) so well, I sorta clicked a lot but I dunno...

Excuse me if I have numerous entries but the site is in german and well, I freaked out

riles9262 · Jul 4, 2006, 02:18 PM

Nice competition again! - you may as well reserve that 50" plasma for me right now

Chaos · Jul 4, 2006, 02:25 PM

I can see a Plasma screen looking sweet right here where I sit

Sandok · Jul 4, 2006, 02:34 PM

I'd be happy with the LCD screens

27" is a ton! Or a Xbox 360

But hey, who WOULDN'T want a 50" Plasma?

Kemita · Jul 4, 2006, 02:35 PM

People from Spain aren't allowed to enter this contest, are they?

**temeteus82** · Jul 4, 2006, 02:58 PM

WoooT!!!! Nice competion

Hoping that I win something nice =)

Drakon · Jul 4, 2006, 03:07 PM

Hmmm, when I finish choosing my region, entered my email and clicked on a product link, nothing seems to happen

when you follow the step by step and click a link most relevant to you, you get a confirmation message in the middle of the screen where it originally had the email box. We will look into a way of making this more obvious.

Brutality · Jul 4, 2006, 03:19 PM

Now it's time for me to get that X360

Is it Premium Edition or just the Core system?
Wireless controller though should be included in Premium Edition... Well, best of luck to everybody!

I reallyreally want X360

But that 50" TV fits me fine too :P

I needed to use IE to enter competition correctly. Opera and Firefox didn't work with me!

Erroneus · Jul 4, 2006, 03:23 PM

Awesome competion (sorry if I entered twice with my email, didn't see the "Congrats you have entered message first, it also dissapears after some seconds) Maybe you should make a big image or something and let it stay on the screen.

Another awesome competion by DH, keep up the good work.

Zardon · Jul 4, 2006, 03:24 PM

they are core systems.

Haha, I also kind of entered more than once. I guess that is what you get when not reading it correctly...

And btw, this really is the mother of all competitions DH ROCK!!

I did the same thing. Yanno, just for safe keepin'

I would assume it only shows one e-mail in the database thinger, right?

Zardon · Jul 4, 2006, 03:41 PM

yeah dont panic, duplicates wont be an issue and you wont be omitted due to this. we are working on making confirmation more obvious to the user.

brutusmaximus · Jul 4, 2006, 03:45 PM

wow what a competition, that is just incredible !!!

A question, ive entered under my main email account and my brother entered under his, we both have the same IP, will we be omitted due to multiple entries from the same IP? and no im not trying to enter 40 times but its a serious question.

No you wont be omitted, IP is not important, as long as the email address works it's fine. if someone wins and they are using a fake addy we wont be able to contact them, so another winner will be chosen. I guess if people have 100 email addresses they could enter 100 times - but no single person will be walking away with more than one prize...........
