N4G Contest Not a Scam

So as many people may have noticed N4G is doing contests and giving away prizes. I was the 1st place winner of the October blog contest. The prize was a Playstation Move starter pack. Weary of online scams I was reluctant to give out my personal information. I was reassured by Catastrophe (Cat) that there would be NO charges for the prizes. All Cat needed was my address and full name. Figuring since I wasn't asked for a Credit Card number I'd give it a shot (I would have never agreed if I was asked for one). A month (November) passed with no update or package so I gave up expecting and went back to my thinking that it was just a scam. 21 days later (some pun intended [but seriously 21 days later]) and a package arrived on my front door. Upon opening it I was pleasantly surprised to see a Playstation Move Sports Champion bundle. Now I'm writing this blog with a two fold purpose. 1st: I would like to reassure anyone who won a contest and isn't sure if its legit or not. This IS a legitimate contest and the prizes ARE Legit. It might take a while for the prize to reach you, but it is real. 2nd. I would like to thank Cat and all of the other Administrators along with anyone else who helped with the contest and contest prizes. You have my thanks.

EDIT: If you live somewhere outside shipping area N4G sends a Gift Card worth the Total of the Prize.

You need to change your title.

No he doesn't. Great blog lex thanks for letting us know.

Thanks Ubiquitious. When Jay2 posted his comment the title of the blog was N4G Contest Scam? After that I changed it to what it is now.

It definitely ain't a scam. Oh and lex you might want to add info that even if you live outside the Western territory or any place where it may be unsendable as long as you have an amazon account they'll send you a gift card totalling the amount of what you've won.

I won the User review contest on November and the Forum lottery 2nd place and was supposed to get a game of my choice and Kinect but since I live in Asia they just sent me a gift card containing $210.

Which was good for me since I'm not a big fan of motion controls anyway and now I can just go buy two games instead.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing17d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
