"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE (October 2001 Magnetism)"

Okay, an absolute torrent of entries for this one, it too ka good couple of hours to read them all, and I had to kill several trees for the paper to print them all out, so no moaning about the winners.

Winner of a game of his choice - mickey, for his suggestion of a 'Gameaday Receipt' idea, of which many of you suggested, but mickey got their first. Well done, mickey.

Runners up prize of a DVD of his choice goes to Aliboy, for his 'Santa' idea. It's well put and a nice festive idea, so it's definitely worthy of a prize. Congrats.

Thanks to everyone for all your entries, we read them all and found them to be very useful. Peace out, and complaints to the usual address. Cheers

Ali

oopps just saw the "dont suggest expensive stuff"

smack inbetween CITV should do it(well for kids anyways)
and in the middle offffff*thinks* corronation street(cha ching!)

Background pics:
warning/hazard signs

Heading:

Midway down page:

Best discussions every day will win any game or DVD of your choice. Winning isn't hard. Many people have won at least five times. Free, simple, and no hidden catches, Go have a look if you don't believe us.

When people browse catalogues, they naturally skip the ads and look at the prices of what they want. So...

In the sections where the price listings are, say this

Metal Gear Solid................................£29.99
Metal Gear Solid (from Gameaday.co.uk)......£0.00

how about on the front of the SR mag you have a keyring on it.
and on both sides it could have the writing 'ukgames.com'

a simple and effective way to attract more visitors, might be simply to show on occasion a page of all the really cheap bargains, people always like a bargain

and a fun cartoon man would help, or even a naked lady, or maybe im just mad, who knows.

on the back page make it yellow and in big black writing put: 'ukgames.com'

when you become or renew membership you get to choose free a gift, one of these is a inflatable armchair.
how about you print on the back of these in big bubble writing 'ukgames.com'.

here is a table to explain all... (hope it works)

chair colour l writing colour
red l yellow
blue l black
orange l black
purple l white
