I was not sure if I entered my email address correctly so I did another submission and this time made sure I entered my valid email address. Will I be disqualified if both my entries made it and contained the same email address? Thanks!

Quanlin · Sep 9, 2010, 11:51 PM

Who can tell me when will the prize of last contest be sent out? In the mail i was told that when it be sent out i will receive a tracking number.

Techtu · Sep 10, 2010, 12:22 AM

I never seem to win anything I enter, but then again... you have 0% of winning if you don't enter at all, and it's free, so why not

Completely Bonkers · Sep 10, 2010, 12:30 AM

I appreciate the time and effort of Wiz and TPU in organising these giveaways + really appreciate the generosity of the sponsors to hand over so much valuable gear to TPUas prizes.

BTW, with all the data and statistics you are collecting, are there any results/analysis other than the pin-map?

PVTCaboose1337 · Sep 10, 2010, 12:41 AM

The giveaways are awesome, even if we don't win. Reason being, the card companies actually LISTEN to us. Feedback and better cards is the real prize here folks.

I never encounter this problem. I think it's caused by your firewall or your router.

If you're using a WWAN, please dial up firstly.

HdHd · Sep 11, 2010, 02:21 PM

good luck to all of us :-)

ravi000 · Sep 12, 2010, 06:41 AM

This is the first time I am taking part in the giveaway. Although I am not really expecting too much, but then can't even kill hopes completely as now I have entered here. I am sick of making the best use of whatever entry level cards i ever had and only few months back i got a 9800gt which is also not really a high end card for today even though it is playing games fine to this day...
