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.

What are you saying about West life?!?
Look, alright, I'll admit they dont write there own lyrics, or play their own instruments or sing their own songs... but what band does these days...
Having been raised on a diet of consistantly increasing mediocraty in popular music, I feel I must stand up for the large corporations, they do after all bring the music to the masses, they should be allowed to contrive musical trends, openly exploit pre-teens and take an active role in the dumbing down of all popular mediums as much as they like
Isnt that fat bloke from Pop Idol lovely... hes a star of the future for sure!
Its only right that the music corporations be allowed to dictate my tastes... After all, Its not really my responcibility to decide what I like and dislike is it!
Besides, West life they are so lovely non-threatening and stuff...

The People:
I won GAD! Cool! Can I have a DVD!
The Staff:
NO
The People:
But I am stupid, why not?
The Staff:
We change GAD so you can claim either up to £50
The People:
Can I ask for loads of cheap things then? And a bike?
The Staff:
We gave you what you asked for, yet still you moo?
The People:
Moo
The End

The £50 limit is exactly that - a limit. We're not asking you to pick a DVD that costs £50, the £50 is a limit for both games and DVDs, because you can choose either. We've just given people the option to choose a DVD instead of a game, should they wish. So, to recap:
PRIZE 1 - The game or DVD of your choice, under £50.
PRIZE 2 - The game or DVD of your choice, under £50.
PRIZE 3 - The game or DVD of your choice, under £25.
No box sets, game bundles or prize combinations are allowed. If you're still confused, go and click on the Rules or FAQ links on the Gameaday home page.

Look people,it's not hard.
No box sets. No mixing up lesser price stuff to make £50.
And Snuggly says I, and only me, can claim Sea Monkeys if I win.
So there.
