Gameaday has changed, but I don't understand...

I mean, we are allowed to choose any DVD or game of our choice, providing it's up to the price tag of £50. But we are not allowed to choose box sets. No game box sets and no DVD box sets. So besides N64 games, what other title could we possibly cost up to £50?

As for DVDs…if we are not allowed to choose box sets, what single DVD movie, even a 2-disk set, comes to the price of £50?

I don't get it. It's very nice of Special Reserve to offer this to everyone, but it really comes down to offering us the same prizes for each GAD prize entry. When winning on a certain GAD compo, you can select any DVD or a game of your choice, (as like before. The better thing now is that you can select a DDV or game from any GAD entry that you win on, whether it’s a film or game, or even a discussion. I hope that’s correct. Well, that’s what I found out from the info on the main page anyway.

So...if I am wrong about all this, does it mean that we are allowed to choose two DVD movies that add up to "50, and the same for two games?

I hope it's this way - that would be so cool.

So do I.
Maybe I could sing to win - 'Daddy, daddy cool, daddy, daddy cool.'
Good idea?

The only significant change is that you can win a DVD for talking about games or reviewing a game, and you can win a game for talking about something other than gaming, providing the game is less than £25.

I would have thought so...

Games like Diablo2... where you still have to buy the expansion seperatly, then you'll only be able to choose one at a time...

But packs like Half-Life Generations and Age of Empires Gold, I would have thought would have been fine?
