When i saw the service that SR provided (which was at the same time of me falling in love with final fantasy 10 , and not having a job so i cant buy it)i thought wow , im gonna sign up for this and hopefully win a prize. i would obviously choose final fantasy X. But knowing my luck i would'nt win , i mean what are the chances? , and even if i did , they'd proberbly say "sorry were all out of stock" lol. But honestly , how do they pick the winners? , u see how many posts there are a day? LOADS! it really makes you think is this service real? , or do they get the staff to recieve pretend games........what am i talkin about?...........errm.....i dont know , ive never won anythin , so ultimatly the huge question i ask myself can only be answered through experience , so im gonna post and post and post and post untill i cant be asked to post anymore lol. but really , i would love to win somthin , especially the game which im saving up to buy a ps2 and the game itself just because i love it that much , its gonna cost me around 200+ quid , but i played it round my bro's house , and whoever else has played/watched , im sure they'll agree.

No, im not. Have you not heard all this before? You won ages ago when they didnt have all this thing going. Have a look on the main page to see for yourself.

Everything I said is what SR have going on right now.

And so, I must pass back the duties to you...... fool.

One thing though, that walkthrough better not be copied!

If it is and you are found out, you get banned for life and can NEVER ever claim another game...

Ok?

I won on the first day of registering, I wasnt part of the club, and i claimed Emperor : Battle For Dune.

They only just introduced this thing. And im sure its only for this month. I think.

If you havent got a PS2 yet, like you said, then I dont see the point in you coming here and wanting to win the game yet. Just get your family to buy you the console and game for after your exams and then by that time, the thing will be over and you can win and claim a game without having to be a member.

£7.50 is nothing really. Just get the membership and write a few good posts and reviews and whatever and then you might win the game.

But I dont know dude. Its all up to you, your choice.

Im off now.

lol good point , but my lifestyle may seem simple but in my eyes it is not ,

transport - my brothers isnt really that far , but i need transport to get there , i cannot walk because of the simple fact that in the area he lives in i will most proberbly get my body smashed and mangled by people who despise me. so no walking , even though under desperate circumstances ive done it quite a few times , thus crapping myself all the way , espesially when i see people who look like the people who want to smash and mangle me.

anyway , job....i am a lazy so n' so , i cant be asked to do anythin , and anyway , why get a stupid 30 quid a week job where in a couple of months i can get a 150 quid job a week , its not worth my precious effort

i bet i sound like a really lazy c*nt , but hey , i cant help it.

i jes tried to persuade me old gal to buy me the membership , then pay her back through selling her my free gift to my bro , who is on 600 quid a month so he definatly would buy , lucky ba'stard.

well , i suppose my fantasy soap football isnt really quality matierial , but its the time it took that pizes me off , i dont know any soapstars names , and i scraped up 55 of the fookers for nothin , i just wasted half a day when i could of been revising for my science GCSE exam i have tomorrow but silly me thought ill get a game for free , allways a catch innit , sign up for this , pay us money for that blah blah blah , to good to be true .

i must say though 7 quid 50 isnt nothin really , but , im allready in debt so im not in much luck am i?


god i had to edit this so many times , swearing should be allowed , its not like little 5 year olds can produce material to win a game lol

Well its not that bad...... I paid about £15 for my membership which was for two years.
You could still win a free membership dude. And maybe next time, if you win again maybe, you can claim a game.

I doubt that your soap teams would have won anyways. Its not exactly GAD material I dont think.

hhhmmmm

If your that desperate, just get a small job or something and save for the game.
You said that your bro has it so why dont you just go play it has his?

In the past, you win Game a Day, you win a game. However, for this month only they've changed it so that, this month only (May), if you win and you're not a member, you win a membership.

Which sucks seeing as I've just won...
