    Hey guys check in here with your progress in collecting tickets.

    Also list your 10 Games (or atleast some of your fav picks) that you would want if you win the grand prize give away.

    Only 100 winners out of the millions playing is probably a lower chance than winning the lottery lol but hey if I win I need to know 10 good games to pick!

    Yeah :D

    Up to 33 now.

    Got every ticket I can without buying a game. I did not buy any games for this event just used the ones I had.

    I think I could have them all if I had access to the games, I got the Gold Potato in the ARG event so I am pretty good at this achievement hunting thing.

    dunno just search street fighter 4 and find it, unless its region locked (most probably the reason why)

    I am at 36 tickets now, need to get the Portal 2 and Serious Sam tickets for today but both of those games are still DLing.

    question: what happens when you buy something for a game you don't own? Say if I've already go everything applicable for the games I've got, and decide to spend the extras on something I don't own, like the car for TDU2 for example. If I got TDU2 later, would the car just be there..? It's sort of like "buying" a DLC without having the game already haha :D

    In the past when I was distributing game packs gifting a copy to a person in another region works.

    So if you find somebody to do that for you then you should be able to get it.

    Id totally get the 4 pack and split it but I dont feel the game is worth that full game price when I feel its more of an expansion/add-on to the original that has been out for years now, plus its so late to the party for PC they really need to discount it for PC players as the 360 crew has had it for a long time and will be beating the crud out of everybody online.

    Yes! MvC3 they need to not do what they did with SSF3 and wait forever and bring it late. It needs to come out ASAP for PC.

    Id get it as well.

    Anyways there was no new events today, just extra time to finish the old events.

    I ended up with 40 Tickets, I had 2 games that I didnt even know I had on the list. Mount & Blade Warband was one of them just did that tonight and it was so annoying...

    I bought all the DLC for borderlands, and Magicka, and I bought Monday Night Combat and Sanctum.

    I definitly think Sanctum was worth it, full game for $5.00 and I like the game so far. Monday Night Combat... meh I may regret that purchase I will have to see.

    As for the DLC same I will have to see if it was worth it. I think I will enjoy the extra items in Magicka for sure but not so sure about the extra arenas and stuff.
