Hmm... So, I've been considering offering up my entire Dreamcast collection "to a good home". I don't often go back to older systems so I really don't need it. Been sitting in boxes for a couple years now. Systems worked fine when I put em away. Includes US and Japanese Dreamcasts, ~70 games (US and Import), VMUs, guns, controllers, wheel, keyboard, VGA cable.. on and on and on...

I am not certain I'll do it just yet, BUT if I do, any suggestions on the best way to offer it up to make it kinda fun? What are you guys doing for contests/raffles usually? It would be a one shot takes all as breaking it up would likely turn into a big PITA to keep track of/ship for me. New owner would need to pay shipping though.

Thoughts?

Personally, I'd keep it myself for nostalgic value, or sell it on ebay. There are collectors out there that would appreciate it.

The people here (not trying to diss anybody! Don't hurt me please!) will most likely be the kind that think "It would be nice to have one". I mean, if they really really wanted it, they would have bought one by now. That or they simply couldn't afford to.

So, if you're really inclined to give it away, give it to someone who can't afford it, but really really wants it.

As for suggestions, I found the guessing games are kinda a shot in the dark. (no pun intended). I find it much more fun and amusing for people to post links to videos or animated gifs for a specific theme.

I'll participate if that's the case. But just for fun only. I'm the kind that fits in the above scenario of "It would be nice to have".

To get this, all you need to do is NOT own a copy of it already, and post a Megaman vid, ANY Megaman video. The best one gets the code PMed to them IMMEDIATELY.

Also, the Sonic, & hockey are still up for grabs!

EDIT: For Megaman vid, it HAS to be Megaman! no X, Legends, EXE, or other crap.

I'd like to point out that in my experience, all Xbox Live codes except points are region free, so restrictions aren't necessary unless there's another reason.

No, the thing is that I tested the stick after formatting it, and it is kinda wonky. I am not gonna bother giving away dead flash! :lol

Ah okay, that's understandable! Thanks.
 
This is not a free give away... But I wanted folks to know that you guys can buy Marvel vs Capcom 2 for the PS2 (USED) for 70 dollars at Gamestop on the 2nd floor in Livingston Mall, NJ. I know it goes for real big amounts online. So I wanted share this info with everyone here. :)

PS: I already own the Dreamcast version of the game. :)

Amazon codes can be picky sadly. I do not discriminate, but apparently amazon codes do. :(
Sorry!
 
Question for Steam users: Supposedly being an ATI card user I have access to Half Life 2 Lost Coast and Half Life 2 Death Match. I don't want either of these, but I'm not sure if there's any way to send these freebies to anyone else. Anyone know if this can be done?

Best video ever indeed, and just what I was thinking of when I made the contest! You are also the first eligible entrant for this giveaway, so congrats! I just need you to confirm that you are in the USA and have a USA LIVE Account!

Sweet, thanks! Yeah, I live in the US and have a US live account.

I played the demo for this game but never bought it because I had no money.

Just wanted some ideas on a possible giveaway which is why I stressed I hadn't decided. Still, I thought of something that should be interesting to do, fair and help everyone get familiar with the DC game library a bit. :D

Man, that is one sweet deal. My Dreamcast won't play Shenmue anymore so it might as well be dead :lol

I've played all I can of these two titles, and they're worth about £3-5 at GAME, so I may as well give them away.

I do ask, that if you've played either of these, you don't request them. Instead, let someone who hasn't played them have the chance.

Also, the first person to grab one of these games will also get the LBP T-Shirt in the background. I received it from MM recently in their Youtube promo and it's unfortunately a Large, so it's too big for me.

Edit: Sorry Non-UK GAF. Forgot about the whole PAL/NTSC thing. I' guess it's UK only :D

Received both Fallout and T-shirt. Thanks a trillion! :D :D :D :D
 
UK Junior, wanting to give thanks to GAF. No Junior members, want to pay my respects to the people who made me laugh whilst I "lurked moar".

I have PSP Ratchet & Clank:Size Matters (Free when I bought my PSP-3000, still sealed)
Super Paper Mario
Street Fighter IV (PS3)

From UK, so all PAL games, (Well, apart from PSP Obviously).

Going away this weekend, so won't get chance to post until Tues/Wed next week.

When I get back, I'll look through my PC/Dreamcast/GBA/DS/PSP titles for some more freebies.
