So now it is only two winners... they change rules almost once a day

where did you get that.  it has said 2 winners since the beginning but linus and slick said they changed it to 3.  It will be interesting if they havent announced the winner by this upcoming fridays lan show.

Supposedly the winners have been contacted... Sadly I don't seem to be a winner myself so goodluck to everyone else who entered.

Darn shame too I collect vintage computers and it would have been cool to take a photo of that IBM tower next to some of it's bretheren...

But wait there is only 2 winners?

Did they say they were going to change how the drawing worked then didn't?

I would suppose if someone submited crazy early with the right awnser out of a stupid guess and thought they won that way they would have called Nvidia up after finding out the rules changed and said, "Hey so I won by the legal terms here, so I'm winner or I sue you? K thx bye."

And now they are forced to follow the old silly rules put up on the site.

I'm actually very suprised about how roughly this has really gone.

I was actually getting pumped and bragging about how cool Nvidia was for doing all this but with the train wreck it seem's to have been after the fact I'm back to meh I still prefer Nvidia over AMD but whatever.

So what happens with the third system? Anyone want to guess?

What a train wreck this contest was....

 

First, the website says TWO Winners that are the first to submit and will be posted on the webpage on or about the 22nd. They also said that they would announce the winners first, and then notify the winners within 7 days via email.

 

Then during the show they tell views (repeatedly) oh don't worry, it is NOT the first two, it will be THREE random winners, so you don't have to submit early. "Take your time" they said over and over. And they told viewers "the website is wrong."

 

Now, four days AFTER they were supposed to announce the winners on the website, we find out that the winners were already contacted, and that there were only TWO winners.

 

Seriously? I could have submitted my answer MUCH earlier, instead of waiting til the end, just to be 100% sure.

 

Shame on you NVIDIA!
