to all you loyal canadians and UK people, if you dont like microsoft, then get off the site created by the people representing a magazine dedicated to MICROSOFT. go congradulate nintendo for supporting you guys, instead of complaining about it on here. hate to be a dick, but im sure im not the only one sick of you posting your problems on here. im sure theres a good reason microsoft wants to keep it limited to the U.S., and you arent going to change change their minds by whining.

From the oldguygamer:
Now that it is almost one month past the end of the contest, do we know who won? Will this be removed and a new contest be offered? Is this the "leave it up there and never change it" page?

Also, the OXM podcast prizes fly under the radar a bit. As soon as someone figures out we're doing it, they will have to go away too. So keep it down. It has to do with Canadian laws about prize fulfillment etc, not with OXM's own internal policies.

Yes, this is still going on; the Rock Band contest has concluded, but we are getting lots of entries for this still, and they are all still valid. You still have a chance.

I have to agree with Julio. Being a canadian boy and a gamer at heart, it pains me that canada isn't kept in the loop when it comes to contests. If the interns at the OXM Podcast can do it for the whole world, i'm sure microsoft could include Canada eh?

You see why I like Nintendo better than Microsoft? At least Nintendo cares about Canadians. I'm not blaming the staff here for this, but just because Microsoft is a huge company it doesnt mean it can only plant itself in the fattest nation on earth. Does it think that just because people are fat they are going to sit around all day playing games? Or is it something different? Maybe it can't afford with its billion doller company to hire some people to read canadian post? Sorry sort of a big rant there, but it was inevitable. I accually have an idea to solve this. Maybe if Canada was allowed in the competition than Microsoft (or OXM) could make more money because more people would sign up knowing there is contests to be entered.

We hear a lot from Canadians who can't enter contests. Don't be pissed at us -- we're legally required to restrict our contests to U.S. only. As much as we love our Canadian readers, we love not ending up in court more...

Ah crap, I should have read the comments before submitting my entry. I too missed the phone number, but their form STILL didn't have it listed as a required field. Hopefully they'll flex their rules, since it was their form. G/L to all! I haven't played it yet, but from everything I know it'd be a sweet prize.

If I win this game, I will definately open it. I will definately keep it. Except for the two duplicate extra PS1 games that I gave to my daughter (MOTO STORM and the first TOMB RAIDER) I still have every game that I ever bought. I was going to wait until the game was offered preplayed, but I'd like the new one better. I'm looking forward to playing this game and watching all it's glory on my 42" LCD 1080p. GAME!

ooooo I want this game! I hope I win.
I wonder where the signatures are? If they are under the shrink wrap thats awesome. if there isn't shrink wrap at all thats awesome. if it is shrink wrapped and signed on the outside... = (
I wouldn't open it... I'd have the game and still not have it.
Good Luck!!

Sweet! I just entered. BTW, in your email form, you're missing the "phone number" category (and maybe also the Gamertag one, if you wanted it there).
