What a farce. I got in as soon as it went up.

Yes! Just got in barely at number 20!
I probably wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't for this coupon. I can't pass it up at $99. That's $40 cheaper than a used 3DS. Even if I decide to sell it later, I'll probably break even.

This is part of the reason why everyone wants one. You could probably sell a BNIB 3DS for $140 or so, which nets you about a $25 profit. Plus it doesn't cost anything; if say you had to use up a life or drop a level, there would be fewer people going for it.
I'm not going to sell it however. But knowing that I could and still break even makes me realize how good of a deal this is.
I was going to get a 3DS when Luigi's Mansion 2 or Smash Bros. came out anyway.
Sometimes it can take over a day for them to process it.
It keeps showing the last challenge you've completed until you complete another one then it'll do the same with the new one.

Really sucks that the free game is at 2pm on Feb 6th. If it were just an hour later I'd be good 
Yeah.. I have 3 exams between Tuesday and Wedsnesday, I don't know what I'm gonna do :/Really sucks that the free game is at 2pm on Feb 6th. If it were just an hour later I'd be good

How hard is it to get a gold rank in SC2?
EDIT: did some Googling, looks like you need a ton of wins.

yeah, thankfully it's not all happening at once as well. I guess I'll catch the second wave.

They expect to have enough free games for everyone at level 18 with one challenge and 3 dailies? score, I should be good
Ah crap I won't be around after 5:30 EST the 6th-8th lol, hope they do some afternoon ones

for some reason I don't believe this. It says there are 250 codes to give out. Maybe I've overestimating but there has got to be plenty more than that at level 18 with a challenge and 3 dailies done.
edit: ANOTHER wrestling reference on the resting period page, future endeavors. The person running the site and making the trivia is definitely a wrasslin fan.

Not anymore.
There are about 300 people who qualify currently and I'm sure several more will get there By the time the perk goes live.

They spelled "complete" wrong.
For sure, I love it.

Did they change it? It used to just have a checkmark, now it says submission successful, allow 24 hours for verification.

Looks like I'll be bailing out of this after the free game perk. Way too many people using the site now.
Also, it seems like some of the challenges are too easy to abuse.

I think they should all be draws now. That seems the most fair, and it won't break down their website.
Really? Which? They all seem fairly difficult except for the mobile ones.

Screenshots can be faked. Games can be pirated. Cheats/hacks exist.
I think most people are honest though.
Oh right, I guess so. I wouldn't trust the RFD crowd to be honest though. Hehe.

Whoa, I won
You don't need a "ton of wins". You just need to be good enough. I went 4 and 1 during my placement matches and got Platinum.
That being said, if you're pretty new to the game, you won't make Gold. Gold is generally players that have a decent grasp on the macro side of the game. If you can keep making workers and keep your money low always, you'll probably make Gold. If you don't make Gold right away through placement, it might take quite a few matches to get bumped up from Silver.
Yeah, I knew this was going to happen. But I've already saved $70 on a 3DS so it's been worth my time. Plus I'll probably get a free game soon. But I have a feeling that after this the perks will get less and less awesome. I wish I had of known about this when they had the PSTV for $99.
