Also was wondering my store doesnt have Dragon Age ultimate edition, but rather only a pack of origins+awakening, but was wondering if I got it as a gift maybe I could get the ultimate edition, if thats possible Id like to change my wish to the ult edition?

    you can change your choice, I think you just have to submit in a new entry with a different game and they'll take the newer entry.

    No entries in the form (I took the links down). New and changed entries are allowed, just PM me. I just want to avoid goofballs screwing it up for us. After spending a ton of time eliminating duplicate entries, inelgible entrants, goofball entries, I don't want to have to spend an hour or more cleaning it up again. Thanks. :D

    Oh flipfire, when you have so many choices why would you go Black Ops? LOL, I guess if you get it free then you don't have to kick yourself for the purchase. :D ;)

    LOL I thought the mods were locked away on an island with nothing but a coconut with a face on it lol. Black Ops isn't bad but I'll tell you what it's the most horribly optimized game I've played in a long time. Unless you have something other than the systems in your signature it isn't going to play on anything but your desktop.

    Please review your entries for accuracy. We can accept corrections if something screwed up but we really don't want to have people changing their minds at this point if you can help it. The drawing will occur sometime in the next 24 hours. We are working to do it live over ViciousXUSMC's mumble, but need to commit to a time. It may be spur of the moment, so bear with us, planning around noon 12/22 at the moment.
