    I was the same until I got a go of one. Screenshots don't do it justice. The 3D effect is amazing and it's a piece of gaming history that you can't experience unless you have experienced it.

    The virtual boy episode was great :) If you ever do get the chance to try out a VB then you should take it though, it's not often you get to try one out and it's a unique gaming experience. It's not going to change your life but I found it very interesting!

    Sent the first two in a box, the 1yr old gets great mileage out of boxes :)

    Have sent you a PvZ review as well. Took the piss a bit but was bored in work so decided to have a laugh :)

    These came this morning, eldest wasn't feeling the best since last night but his morning was made when he saw his pics online after getting games in the post. Thanks a mill for this, really made the kids day!

    Delighted for them :D

    New competition on the go now Call of Juarez the Cartel on both PS3 and Xbox360. Just follow the facebook link in my sig. (Blue Link)


    I also have a very cool item from Sony but not sure if there is interest in it, its the GT5 press kit, Big shiny black metal box with a key ring and a book. Its the very same as the ones we would have gotten here at Bone-idle towers for reviewing GT5 last year.

    Only problem is they have no disks included so not sure what to do with it or if that's an acceptable prize. It would be perfect for some one who has the game already and wants the box and could stick the disk in it as they are highly collectable.

    Ill see what the interest is like as they would cost a lot to post them.

    below is an unboxing vid of the kit to show it off remember it does not include either of the two disks shown in the vid.

    Great thread. I must start entering these things.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    So is the GT5 kit going to be a comp or not? Would love to pick one up. Was even considering buying the Ultimate Edition of the game when it came out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    It'd be great if i won that Xbox. My old one RROD'd a few weeks ago.:(

    "Great competitions" is understating it somewhat!!!!! They are all fantastic prizes , and props for the lack of hoops that need to be jumped through to enter!!!!!!!!

    /Crosses fingers


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,829 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Calex, cmon now, they aren't that great. In fact, I would say they are pretty poor prizes and no one else should enter as a protest!

    I really really want that Dodge Challenger!
