They are clever if you see in the terms you have to return the graphics card back to them at the end of the year... so in essence ure on a rental scheme hehe

So who you putting down? I went for England purely because I would feel so gutted if they did win it and I had voted for someone else.

PVTCaboose1337 · May 24, 2006

I put down Italy! Who knows? Who cares? FTW!

Azn Tr14dZ · May 24, 2006

Brazil, hispanics are the best at this game(no offense)

HaZe303 · May 24, 2006

I would choose Finland if i could!!!

No i chose Brazil too, its just dumb that everyone is choosing brazil, it will be harder for any of us to win if we all choose the same team!!?

(not that i would win anyway, im the unlucky b@stard)

Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. I'm also wondering what happens if you fry it by OCing before you have to give it back.
