Post Contest: Win a FREE copy of NFS Underground!

Hey Everyone, Since the demo is out I figured it was a good time to announce that Racerplanet will be giving away not one, but FOUR free copies of NFS Underground. Provided to me by EA.

This will be a caption contest. I'll have a picture or two with which you can come up with a some witty words for describing the situation as you see it. Now there will be 4 contests, each will last a week long. So if you don't win the first one, come back next week to try again. This will be on the forums so of course you have to register for an account so you can post on the forums.

First contest will start next week sometime. I'll post more on it when it get's closer. The staff will be judging the contest, so anyone who has access to the staff forum will not be eligible to win.

Meantime Enjoy the Demo and spread the word!




Update: 11/15/03

Ok here's the latest update on the contest. I'm going to sticky a thread. Here's how things will work.

[] You get one entry into each contest
[] If you think of something better later in the week, you can change your entry by EDITING your single entry post. We want to keep the contest thread to one post per person.
[] No comments in the contest thread! Use this thread for any comments and sharing laughs over the funniest entries.
[] Originality counts, please don't blatently copy someone else's caption, we'll know who came up with it first.
[] Contests are a week long and dates will be posted in the caption thread.

Ask me any questions if you have any and I'll clarify.

Banana Sounds like a fun contest!!!

I'll start shopping around for something "witty". Actually I won't. Sounds like I will not like the game. I will just never be able 2 deal with not being able 2 adjust the settings of each of my cars. But I'll probably get it as a gift and then I'll have 2 try it!! I'll get back 2 ya on this.

Well, I'm not enthusiastic about buying the game, but it's certanly good enough to be worth a strong creative effort.

Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

Before we get started with the contest, just something I like to know, and that is, how do I or anyone that wins the copy get it?????

I take it as you have the 4 copies, and you are the one that will be shipping the copy of NFS:U to the winner????

Say if someone from Australia or Wazza wins or someone from India or anywhere else for that matter wins, is it going to be shipped by US Postal Service or a Courier Service like FedEx, UPS etc....

I'll probably be shipping the copies to everyone. If shipping too extremely expensive I might ask for half the shipping cost if at all possible to help out. But a game box shouldn't be extremely expensive.

hmm sounds like the comp for me

As for shipping I doubt it'll cost very much indeed, otherwise ship the CD and flatten the box or something

Yeah, a single CD, in an envelope would only cost a couple of bucks... and just scan the book and box cover, so I can reprint my own copy
