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.

I hope GAD will never end...ever!

I love coming here and socialising. Talking to others and reading responses at the forums is quite enjoyable and really keeps me occupied…like right now.

Socialising is maybe a strange way of putting it, since nobody actually talks face-to-face, but you know what I mean.

Anyway, regarding the cheats page, I think it’s incredible that you submitted so many cheats in a couple of days. But the rules do state that they will only be considered providing they have not been submitted before.

You never see the popular people from the forums, on the winners list for cheats. Every cheat winner I have ever seen, is someone I dont know and have never heard of.

I put loads (few hudred) cheats on from last friday-sunday but I didnt win :( I really wanted to, then I would have claimed waynes world 2 on DVD.

once again :(
o while, I spose theres a lot more days and a lot more chances before gad ends (if it ever ends)

I believe you have a better chance in winning if you submit a lot of cheats, providing they have not been sent before by anyone else at GAD.

It's not an abbreviation, it's the initials, like LED and CG/PS2.
