good luck to our UK-based users! :3
@Tj92: that's okay, your entry will be disqualified during the selection process.

I'm getting mine on Sunday so I won't complain; now I'm happy for the people that thought they couldn't get it and now they get a chance to win one with some games. Good luck everybody!

SwerdMurd said:
good luck guys! Too bad the question is so difficult
#11
Caramel said:
@ TBD All right, then.
So...any US contests coming up?
#12
SilverBaretta said:
@Tj92: If you mean a contest that's anything like this, look at comment 2.

Chris720 said:
I must now kill all other UK based NLifers... <.< >.>
Good luck to everyone who entered, lets hope we all win lol.
#14
accc said:
You raised my hopes and then dashed them quite expertly! Bravo, Nintendolife!
(Maybe you should mention in the headline that this is UK only so that people won't be angry after they click on the article.)
#15
SilverBaretta said:
@accc: Was that a reference to Tinny Tim? If so, you, sir, are awesome.
#16
wanderlustwarrior said:
Yeah, what 14 said. You guys usually do specify region in the article name, IIRC.
#17
theblackdragon said:
@accc: ask and ye shall receive. thanks, Ant :3
#18
Squiggle55 said:
wow what a contest! good luck UK-ers
#19
Caramel said:
Yeah the fact that the letters "U" and "K" weren't together in the title confused me.

Bass_X0 said:
I hope I win something this time.

Doma said:
Hey, that's nice.
My hatred for Ubisoft has decreased slightly.
#22
jackaroo said:
Damn. For a moment I thought I was still in the UK and entered lol. Sorry about that.
#23
Gameday said:
Ha i was about to submit til i read only UK , its all good. Did the US have this kinda giveaway just wondering i always seem to miss em when they do. Good Luck UK users.
#24
theblackdragon said:
@Gameday: Unfortunately not. :3
#25
Tasuki said:
Wow good luck to all the UK people who entered. I hope they have a 3D contest for the US. Any chance of that happening?
#26
James said:
@Tasuki As we've said, we can only offer as prizes what we're given from publishers: sadly, we can't afford to buy 3DS consoles to give away to readers!
#27
SuperSinSlayer77 said:
Whoops. I entered without reading this is for UK residents only. So please disregard my entry and sorry for making this mistake.
#28
Tasuki said:
@James_Newton: And why not???? You are the best Nintendo fan site around cant you claim that on taxes or something?
J/k I totally understand hopefully the publishers will have something like that for US. I am sure that if you could buy on for all your readers you guys would. Cause you are that freakin awesome.

RyuZebian said:
@theblackdragon
Oh, that explains it. :3 I was looking around sking myself "Hey, where's my useless comment?" xD Turns out it's in the useless-comment graveyard, among with it's relatives "offensive" and "confusing." Oh well. I guess I'll just give the generic "Good luck" then. Uninteresting to read, but slightly nicer.
Good luck, UK chaps! And if there be any gals entering, extra good luck to you!
#30
Yadoking said:
Aw, man. When I saw the headline I knew it was going to be UK but I hoped to sweet justice that I was wrong. Good luck UK residents!
#31
Destructionator said:
Only open to UK???? Got to be kidding me. Oh well, still entered! xD

EmpireIndustries said:
Another launch promotion for the UK. Why am I not suprised?

This is only for UK T>.T Accidently entered.

NIN10DOXD said:
Good luck to all the UK users!
#42
Noire said:
So if I change my little flag by my name, can I enter the contest?
#43
Zach said:
@PhoenixSage That'd be a great way to trick us, and a terrible way to try to receive prizes, as we will realize something is wrong when you turn in a Canadian mailing address. We'll have to go back, draw another winner, and probably delay everyone's prize shipment in the process - it'll be a huge headache, so if you like NL and want us to like you, don't do it!
Also, good luck to all UK users!
#44
melvin2898 said:
@PhoenixSage Thank you very much for the great idea!
#45
Zach said:
@melvin2898 Please read my above response - I sure hope you two are just joking!
#46
James said:
I think Feenie was joking, but then again I can never take anything she says seriously anyway.
For what it's worth, regardless of the flag by your username, we can find out which country you're from with absolute ease, just so you know
#47
Portista said:
Yay! I entered, and good luck to all the other players. I'm an American, but I live in the UK, so I changed my profile to UK.
#48
theblackdragon said:
@Portista: No, you don't — or at least that's not where you're visiting the site from. As James has already said, attempting to fool us will not work.

3DS said:
@47 fail what a FAIL

Myriad said:
Good luck everyone!

As the Supreme Neked Waterpolo and Basting King, my location can never be determined.

Good luck to all you UK peeps!

So then, I'm far from registering for such a prize.
Good luck guys.

neepy said:
I wonder if James Newton will enter this comp......
Good luck to people in the UK

wiigamer93 said:
entered
so glad the only chance to win one of these was not on that stupid Facebook competition lol
#56
3DS said:
i hope i win since it is in my name
#57
cammy said:
I guess there is no chance to expanding the competition to include all of Ireland instead of just Northern Ireland? (I can't be the only NLifer in the ROI)
#58
Issun said:
Entered, I hope I have a chance to win.
#59
3DS said:
@58 it's only the UK not Europe
#60
invmat said:
Too bad I live in the Netherlands
.
Good luck everybody

And thank you, NL, for these kinds of competitions

Phobos said:
Say you were out of the U.K. for a while (but you do live there), yet you still had a postal address in the U.K. you could use to pick it up? Or would it still be disqualified?

Good luck to everyone who has entered!

LOVE UBISOFT !!!!!

Linkstrikesback said:
Nice, already got one and rayman, but If on the minute chance I win, I can give it to my sister.
Good luck everyone!
#65
Doma said:
Will you be accepting the entries from people who just registered? they’re probably dupe accounts.
#66
theblackdragon said:
@Doma: I'm going through all the new users as they sign up and checking for dupes, don't worry. :3
#67
Lotice-Paladin said:
Looked up the answer, but the Wiki seems to have the guys name wrong. XD
If I do win (not likely), I don't use my googlemail address at all so they'll have to ask me for the Hotmail E-Mail instead (n n)
#68
Doma said:
that's cool, just checking lol
#69
Noire said:
For the record, I was indeed joking, especially since I think half the staff knows I don't live in the UK anyways. XD
Good luck to all of you who are able to participate~!

andyutd97 said:
Who knows a may be lucky for once. Something I very much doubt
#71
Gameday said:
I can say im jealous now since we didnt get a contest lol i mean who wouldnt want a free 3ds among other things , o well it is what it is im still gonna get mine sooner than later woulda been better now andf for free ha. cant wait to see who wins gl
#72
Sakura_Moonlight2421 said:
Oops I pressed the poll without even looking at the rules...(I'm sorry!!!)...Good luck UK readers~! :3

Awesome comp! Good luck all! especially me

@James Creepy.

MasterGraveheart said:
Man, and I thought Mario Sports Mix was a sweet prize... whoever wins these... hats off to you, man.
#76
3DS said:
@77 it will be me ha ha ha nah never will be me since i never win everything but it would be awsome since im the 3DS
#77
Lotice-Paladin said:
Well it'll definately be a bigger probability then winning the lottery since there must be about a few hundred UK based users here, so the chances are pretty high.
#78
Chris720 said:
I have a feeling three new users are going to register and win... grr... please let me win Lady Luck... pleeeeeaaaasssseeee
#79
3DS said:
@79 there not aloud. Here this is what theblackdragon said in a earlier comment in a reply to someone else : I'm going through all the new users as they sign up and checking for dupes, don't worry.
#80
Bass_X0 said:
They can be new users and not duplicates. Other than that, there's no post count or account age length restrictions that I can see. Its fair to say that there will be a lot of new 3DS users or people interested in the 3DS. Whoever wins, it'll be a great prize. But I hope its me.
#81
3DS said:
ohh well
#82
theblackdragon said:
@3DS: what i was talking about was existing users signing up duplicate accounts so that they could enter the contest multiple times — that is not acceptable. What Demon is talking about, however, is brand new users signing up for an account at NL for the sole purpose of entering this contest. That's fine, it happens all the time, and some even wind up sticking around to hang out with the rest of us. :3
#83
3DS said:
yeah oh well good luck to every one
#84
daydreamer said:
hello
I signed up yesterday but definitely not for the purpose of entering the contest 
I already ordered 3DS anyway.. it's going to be my first nintendo console! I never had DS nor Wii
#85
mewichigo12 said:
oooooh i entered quite late.. i'm probrably not gonna win..... i never win anything so im used to it v.v
#86
Chris720 said:
@TBD That's exactly what I meant. What peeved me off with that CoD:Black Ops contest you held a few months back, three dudes won who nobody even knew... how is that fair? D:
Okay sure, it brings in new users, but having a contest won by a complete newbie to the site, who might not even stay after entering/winning, really annoys me...
That's my rant over... :/
@86 Actually, the later you are, the better chance you are at winning.
Well, at least in raffles anyways...
#87
James said:
@xDemon720x New users have every much chance of winning as people who've been around for years — that is very fair.
The name will be drawn completely at random, so it really doesn't matter when you entered.
#88
Lotice-Paladin said:
Being late isn't always the case. I have seen people win with early raffle tickets...it's completely random and the luck of the draw.
Newbies who win doesn't make a difference.

joshualeuty96 said:
Entered! Good luck to everyone entering
#90
colmtheperson said:
I assume they're including Ireland in their definition of UK... Same publishers, same games, same release dates etc!
#91
Robo-goose said:
Now THAT is a contest! I would say "good luck" to you UK people, but considering that everyone is going against each other, that would be a bit redundant.
#92
Phobos said:
By the way, good luck to all peoples who entered.
#93
emms said:
Good luck everyone!!!!

Luffymcduck said:
"Ubisoft will distribute the prizes directly and the competition is open to UK residents only."
This should have been Caps Locked since I entered before noticing it. Sorry. I still don´t get why this is for people in UK only.
#95
theblackdragon said:
@Luffymcduck: There's a 'UK' in the title of the page itself, and the reason it's for people in the UK only is because the prizes were offered up by Ubisoft's UK division. As Ant said in reply #2, don't look at us — look to your local publishers for answers why no 3DSes have been offered up as prizes for your area of Europe. :3
#96
MadScientistMan said:
i entered, i hope i win
Oh and good luck to everyone else
Why do people say this Is the only comp in the uk With a 3DS prize, it is not, the gadget show have one 2 win
Every week
#97
James said:
The Gadget Show gives away everything, though. It's like each week they close down a branch of Curry's Digital and post out its contents!
#98
Chris720 said:
@James I'm not the only one who thinks that then!
Besides, you can't always win on The Gadget Show, you're probably going up against half (if not more) of the country, so the cahnces of YOU winning is slim to none.
#99
Lotice-Paladin said:
I used to enter the Gadget Show a lot but I don't do that anymore. At least I had a chance. I like how they are varied in tech and the challenges they do.
#100
Portista said:
@3DSand@theblackdragon Yeah, I made a profile just to enter the Mario Sports Mix contest, and look here. I'm still hanging around.
#101
Luffymcduck said:
@Theblackdragon
Lol, didn´t notice UK in the title either.
#102
Jreniker said:
Good luck people.
#103
MadScientistMan said:
@xDemon720x
True and it costs alot, no wonder I didn't win
When I mentioned the gadget show, I didn't realise it would stir this much conversation

I registered for the sole purpose to enter this contest. I'm really tight on money, so I really hope I win. I've been foaming in mouth with anticipation for this glorious handheld, I NEED IT IN MY LIFE!
#111
Collision_Cat said:
Wish people would stop complaining it's UK only. Do you know how much of a pain games have been here in the past (slow, letterboxed PAL) and still are sometimes (games being released here later, some not being released at all)? =P
#112
Terra said:
Is this closed now or do people have the rest of today to enter?
#113
Lotice-Paladin said:
I assume that the contest is closed and the winner will be either tomorrow or the day after.
#114
MadScientistMan said:
It's the 8th...
We can only wait...

JJGenesis said:
good luck to all who entered.

I'm guessing it'll be announced tomorrow or something?

theblackdragon said:
Guys, even after the close of a contest, it always takes a few days before the winner/s is/are announced. Please relax, go do something else for a while, and when a winner is chosen, it'll be front-page news, we promise. :3
