Special Reserve, I have wanted to become a member now since I started visiting your site and seeing your adverts. Albeit this has only started since purchasing my XBox. However, I have waited until you offer free gifts for XBox owners. To my disappointment however I have noticed you are now doing a Membership-a-day deal but with no gifts for XBox owners. This is a fair practice, and I want to become a member. However, you seem to offer free gifts to owners of every other console, including Gamecube, but not XBox. So it all boils down to this pseudo-ultimatum:

Come on Special Reserve, put an XBox freebie up for grabs for membership and I will join.

I want to join OK? I just don't want to join right now because for all I know, tomorrow, SR may put an XBox freebie there for me! I simply want to know if this may happen soon, if not, i will join anyway.

Ive won two GAD's however I feel justified as im an ex member of SR - i didn't renew this year as im a poor student and can only afford 2nd hand games.... I think the membership thing is good as it will help SR expand and save them some money.

I didn't realise that the chat forums would be so enjoyable or useful. And i thought GAD was one of those contests nobody ever won.

I dont think SR are loosing money. I've been a member for about 10/11 years and the company has constantly expanded the whole time. I think SR have just latched on to the fact that some people are obviously winning GADs without being members, which is pretty unfair on SR.

Yeah, these forums give us all hours of free pleasure.

I say that the GAD to members only trial becomes permanent.

All SR are trying to do is save people money by joining and receiving the benefits of cheaper prices.

Everybody likes freebies, of course they do. However, not joining because there are no freebies is a poor excuse, especially when most games are £5-£10 cheaper!

Also, some people have already won GADs when they're not even members. Therefore dont you think that a £6 membership fee is a small price to pay for membership to a company thats treated you so well?
