I was wondering what lovely things everyone has spent their GADs on, with someone winning daily there should be a fair amount of things that people have purchased.
I tend to only go with Amazon vouchers as it's easy and quick for ordering and has a huge selection.
Things i have purchased using vouchers to either pay for part of, or all of the item.
------------------
PC Hardware:
2 x 512MB PC3200 DDR Ram
Sony 18x DVD Writer
Inno3D GeForce 8800GTX 768MB DDR3 PCIE Graphics Card
PC Games:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl (PC)
Wii stuff:

PSP stuff:

Is that the "Report this post" button? Do you use it on your own posts?

Well, I write and submit here for both practice, and to have a chance to win. I've only ever won by submitting cheats, which I put not much effort into. But I submit loads of written work, which I have put a lot of care into, and have never won.

What I mean is, you write for writing sake, not for trying to win a GAD.

But if you don't try, chances are you won't win. That's why I haven't won as much as others. I think...
Anywhooo, so far I have bought, with my vouchers:
Jak & Daxter
Ratchet & Clank
Wii Points x2
God Of War

No GAD's.:(
I'm currently working on a walkthrough for toonstruck. Finally i've managed to get the game working. It was really simply. Rather then using dosbox (Being so cack handed i couldn't get it working). I ripped out the cd drive of an old, old computer, and put it in my old computer (p3 500mhz).
But even then theres a few issues with the graphics. Notceably flickering of characters. Awesome game though.

I always press the alert staff button at the top of a post if I think it's good for GAD, if more people did that then I guess it might be more varied.
Mind you, the phrase 'trying to win GAD' might just be why you haven't. As a wise old puppet once told me "Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try"

I always press the alert staff button at the top of a post if I think it's good for GAD, if more people did that then I guess it might be more varied.

Good choice! Reminds me I got the whole 3 series of Robin of Sherwood for a couple of amazon vouchers a couple of years back. Best Robin Hood series ever.
Still got a few of the DVDs from FAD rewards. Toy Story 2, Sleepy Hollow and a few others. Didn't keep Hollow Man for some reason...

Yeah i miss that, as you knew who to ask about the game if you wanted an opinion or advice.
But at least now like you say there is a far greater range of good to put them towards.

I bought a 17" TFT monitor with them, and a DS.
