YES! Thank you for understanding us, finally! So relieved to see there are in touch people running the show instead of the crazed "it's never our fault it's yours" attitude from the TakeTwo CEO

My question is, did you email everyone that won a prize (including beanies/flash drives) or just people that were the announced winners (mouse/mobos)? That's partly where my confusion lies. I tried asking on this matrix and on your personal box, but haven't received a response.

Edit: I just checked your box and saw your response, thank you for your timeliness.

I wasn't necessarily referring to you Dan. You bear no responsibility for the prizes in this contest, you are simply a generous mediator. Angela and the event@gigabyte email address have both fallen silent. I understand everyone is under increased workloads, it's not just the computer industry, but when we've waited 2 weeks for what should take 5 minutes of time, I believe we have a right to get frustrated. I was simply questioning my loyalty to Gigabyte.

Again, I don't expect to win, especially after how my post would probably be received, but I do believe in keeping one's word. I love Gigabyte and their products, but am beginning to question the people behind the great name and reputation that Gigabyte stands for. I would love to rock a Gigabyte mobo, but in a competitive market where products are all very similar, it's the little things that make the difference.

Again, I apologize if I ruffled some feathers, but it would just be nice to hear something. But I do thank you Dan for looking out for us and will continue to be a daily reader of this site.

This is getting ridiculous. I'm not complaining about not receiving free prizes because I know I don't have to be given anything; right now I'm not expecting to receive anything nor do I care anymore; but just go ahead and announce and ship and get everything over with. The silence is frustrating and causing me to lose faith in the responsible parties / and sponsoring companies. When you say you're going to do something, then do it. If you're not going to do it, then don't say you're going to.

Is Clarksdale the 32nm core i5 part that's supposed to be more mainstream? or is Clarksdale the next high end part to replace the Nehalem cores?

that's a nice system soldier...whether it's true or not....but what'd i really like to know is, has that system helped you taste more vagina? have you ever tasted a vagina? because my computer is 5+ years old, and im looking to upgrade now, but the vagina i've tasted in those 5+ years has been incredibly delicious.

oh, and if you say "your mom" you're just showing how you've really got some sad complex that compels you to lie to strangers on the internet

Hi Dan. I've contacted the event@gigabyte address and provided them my shipping address for the beanie and drive. Do I need to send it to you also?

Also, any word on the remaining 2 mobo's?

So the survivor pack will cost money but the SDK is free? Is that correct?

Wasn't the SDK supposed to be released when the game originally came out?

Also, any word on the remaining 2 motherboards?

I guess EA's motto is, "If it's broke, pound it into the ground until it's unrecognizable then split the franchise to attempt to rip consumers off, hype up your new crap product and call it fixed."

I'm glad to see gaming numbers grow, but I doubt this factors in streaming videos or rentals from places like Netflix.

I emailed Angela with my name and address and she told me that they are still deciding on the remaining winners. So I know our patience will pay off and we probably shouldn't bombard her with emails. As far as I can tell, Angela seems like a very nice individual and I'm glad she's our rep for this contest.

JT, please just be glad you won something and that Angela didn't forget us. Your post was great and that's why you were the first person to win a mobo. Now, if you're not happy with that mobo, feel free to send it to me instead :)

But here's hoping I still have a shot at one of the remaining 2 mobos.

The approximately 400$ price point can't last with the 4870x2 listed at 400$ and besting the 285 in all the benchmarks. Thank you competition!!!

So instead of releasing all the maps with the game, EA is already planning a 10$ DLC expansion pack with new maps? Umm ok, so clearly these maps were ready in time but EA decided to hold them out in order to try and make more money.

Any info. on temps for this card? Did I accidentally skim past it?

Also, yay for competition! Remember when the top cards were coming out for 600$ and staying there. This one is released at 400$ and there's already talk about cutting prices.

In an earlier post, Dan said Angela is very busy in preparation for CES. Perhaps we need to wait until after CES, which is fine by me. Take all the time you need to choose my post ;)

My brother recently bought a wii game that was reduced 10 dollars, and the only reason he chose that particular game over others was because of the 10 dollar reduction. Therefore, I believe it would be a positive thing to reduce prices and could actually lead to increased sales.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! Thank you Angela, Dan, and Gigabyte for sponsoring this generous competition during this time of year, especially for managing to still be generous during these rough times. Times like this make you truly thankful for everything, with or without a brand new mouse or motherboard.
