Joystick Junkies Giveaway

Every once in a while you find some clothing that's just awesome. A few months ago I came across a shirt that was made by Joystick Junkies and the quality and feel of the shirt was just spectacular. Here we are now in April, and the crew at Joystick Junkies wanted to deck a few of our members out in some kickin' new threads.

We're looking for three winners this time around, and we're looking for an answer. But razzle, what's the question?! Well, the question's simply, where are the Joystick Junkies from? Simply take a gander at their site: http://www.joystickjunkies.com/ and read around until you find the answer. The answer we want is clearly on their homepage.

Once you have the answer, e-mail contests [at] x360a.org with the answer as the subject. Inside the e-mail make sure to put your forum name.

The contest will be open for roughly a week and winners will be chosen from a random integer generator. Winners will be PMed, and will have 72 hours to respond or be disqualified.

Winners: 3
Prize: A Joystick Junkie item of your choice! (with a £25 limit)
Restrictions: Only one entry per person.
How to Enter: E-mail contests [at] x360a.org with the answer to "where are the Joystick Junkies from" as the subject.
Closes: April 26th 11:59PM PST
Rules: Official Rules can be found HERE (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66921).

Good luck!

So were e-mailing these answers and not posting?

[TheWrestlingGod]

Is the email contests@x360.org or contests@x360.com? You have it both ways in the thread.

[Jester27]

I would assume it is x360a.org - I believe this problem has popped up a couple times before.

[Axe Argonian]

So....is this for a shirt or an actual arcade joystick? Call me retarded,but I don't understand...

[razzleson]

Gah! Sorry! The correct is .org

Fixed.

[Axe Argonian]

Just sent in my answer. Too bad it has to be under £25 or I would be getting Monster Repeat T-Shirt (Orange Fizz). But I'd settle for the Invaded T-shirt (Sharp Green) in a small size.

[razzleson]

Everyone, the certificate's only for a £25 item or lower. However, you're more than welcome to toss in a few bucks for a better item.

If any of the winners can't find something for £25 or under, let me know. I'd take any one of their items. :p

[Log]

Sent my answer :)

[rican ninja89]

do winners get to choose the shirt or are they pre selected

[razzleson]

The winners get a £25 voucher to use towards whatever they want on the Joystick Junkies site.

[Vernox]

Good luck everyone!

[Fa11en An9el]

Nice site, great to see Justin Lee Collins is a fan of the shirts, he is a comic genius

[OpenSourcePong]

I sent in my answer, good luck to everyone who participated and staff for sorting all those emails.

[Lord Xanatos17]

This is gonna be sweet.

[Fonkey Monkey]

those shirts are sick. this would be a great 1st contest for me to win
but good god do you guys really pay $50 for a shirt?:eek:

[JoystickJunkies]

hey guys i've just confirmed this by email to the guys at the site but I've extended the prize value to £30 so you can grab any of the t-shirts we've got now.

The reason they're more expensive is they're a fashion cut and quality - so you'll find these alongside other brands like Diesel, Gio-Goi and Firetrap in stores across Europe. We've even got some board shorts arriving this week for the summer so you'll be able to put your money towards those if you fancy them. They should go live in a few days time

cheers

Just to confirm, this is not fake. Chris is actually a PR from Joystick Junkies. He saw that a lot of you were disappointed that you couldn't get some of the t-shirts, so the voucher has new been raised to £30.

You're now able to get ANY of the t-shirts (aside from two of the hooded tees).

See guys, feedback DOES work.

Thanks.
Nope! Enter away young jedi!

[PlanetGalida]

Thanks! Very cool! :)

[razzleson]

Alright guys, contest is over.

There were a BUNCH of entries, actually, there were more than 700 entries, but sadly only 65 of you answered correctly. Why so few? Here's why!

If you read the initial write up, you'd see this line:
The answer we want is clearly on their homepage.
So, if you went to their contact page to get where they're from, you didn't follow the rules. London isn't the answer we wanted!

The other half of the people that were disqualified missed this line:
e-mail contests [at] x360a.org with the answer as the subject
That means we want the answer as the subject!

Now, onto the answer, if you followed the rules and went to the Joystick Junkie homepage, you'd see this, the FIRST line of text in their introduction:
Joystick Junkies is a British fashion label that has fused fashion and video games pop culture.
So, the correct answer was Britain.

Now, onto the winners! Congratulations to the following:

Steve IOW (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/member.php?u=32466)
Birky (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/member.php?u=6256)
Mythtakes (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/member.php?u=51093)

You three will be receiving PMs shortly with instructions on how to claim your prize.

[razzleson]

Even though the contest rules specifically told you to stay on the homepage for the answer, a few members thought we should have accepted London and England as an answer also.

I didn't want to make an official statement until I had something to say, but I recently talked to Joystick Junkies, and although they agree with my decision to have Britain be the correct answer, they decided to toss in another voucher for those who dug a bit deeper to find their hometown. How awesome is that?!

Added all those who answered London or England into the mix, and with that, congrats to our new, forth winner:

Side Note: Ironically, Otis answered Britain also. :p

You'll be receiving a PM soon.
