fex Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 So for those who have picked the new ONM will know they have teamed up with Nintendo UK to be able to deliver ten Wii's to lucky people upon the launch as part of a competition. After reading the little article i noticed that the closing date for entries is the 6th of November, which means that the Wii will be getting released post the 6/11/06. So I entered the competition, and got the question right, Woohoo!!! And I find out if i have won a Wii in the 11th Issue of ONM, which is due for release on 24th of November. So surely this means a futher delay for the Wii. Why would they say find out if you've won on the 24th, if say the Wii is released at an ealier date? I wouldn't need to read ONM to find out ive won, because i'd have my Wii right here with me. Does this mean the Wii will be released after the 24th of November! I hope not!!
solitanze Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 "Lock Thread.........." But to attempt to answer your query, doesn't necessarily mean a delay is forthcoming for the release of the Wii, the winners would be most likely receive their prize within the week of launch, not necessarily on the very 1st day of launch, or does it specifically say that?
fex Posted September 1, 2006 Author Posted September 1, 2006 Yes it does say the winners will recieve there Wii on the day of launch. why lock?
KKOB Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Yes it does say the winners will recieve there Wii on the day of launch. why lock? to be honest most of these competitions, the winners dont get the prize till after the release date of the prize, or they get NTSC versions-like what happened with the DS
conzer16 Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 It's probably just a guess at a date too. NOE dont have a clue when the Wii is being released, so their official mag surely doesnt. We'll know by then when it's out so its a benchmark.
McMad Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Wait until the date's announced before you start worrying.
nicolasmasset Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 to be honest most of these competitions, the winners dont get the prize till after the release date of the prize, or they get NTSC versions-like what happened with the DS I second that. You're probably gonna end up buying the wii at launch cause you just can't wait, and selling your free one a week later
knightendo Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 i doubt that NOE don't know, they have too much to organise to only be told now. they're just not telling us as usual, which is fine, but only two weeks away did it say WINNERS would find out who won? or that READERS would find out who won? 'cause if it's "readers" it may mean that that's just the issue the list of names will be printed, the Wii could be delivered before that. (damned post office, why must northern ireland always get their magazines a day later?! gggrrrrr!!!!) and if this is such a big competition, and nintendo themselves are working with the mag then i'd say they'll deliver on their promise of it appearing on launch day. probably have a photo opportunity or two as well, so make sure you're up and scrubbed clean on launch day lol!
Hero-of-Time Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Please can you you use the rumours and speculation thread. Locked
