Is that the PS3 contest? It's closed if it is. Brutal giveaway as well. Run by a firm called eprize. If you see a contest being run by eprize, just run away.
I posted this one because it said you can still redeem your points for prizes. Not too familiar with the eprize company though. Thanks for the info about them. :)Quote:

That's rotten. Hopefully they shipped the prize to the winner though.
Man that is horrible. I have to admit the execution of this years ps3 contest was trash as well. Apparently you had to send them a registered letter stating your intention of recieving the prize. Plus winning was pretty difficult as the site constantly would go down and eat pins. I heard of a few people winning but, Pepsi still conducts the best contests.Quote:

I think so...plus they were getting a tonne of emails and phone calls from participants. I hate when companies offer prizes but, it's more so that they can advertise on their product and associate a hip prodcut with their brand. I wish they would construct an interesting contest that would build a solid customer base. (although I guess the only reason they ever run a contest is to associate hot products or events with their products)Quote:
