Competition: Win a Metallic Red 3DS!

Awesome!

I agree with @Niko3139

Aww, you crushed my hopes as you said "EU resident." Damn you Europe, lucky people... Also that's a pretty hard question you've got there

How weird would it be if I won a 3DS

OH DAMNIT I just found out... EU residents only, remove my vote

@1: You must be a EU resident to receive the winning prize.

mine too please.

MAN! I would of liked to bless someone with that!
I hope someone well deserving will get this. XD

I know the answer but I don't live in Europe

Well that was a hard question, I really hope it was the 2013 one
I never win anything in these kind of competitions although I enter in every free competition I find.

Psych! Might be my lucky strike. holds thumbs

Best of luck to everyone that enters

Hope my answer of "25th December" wins...

I have been a visitor for a looong time, this competition made me register!

You see? The world doesn't end in 2012 cause the 1st of January 2013 was one of the options

Welcome to all our new members and new posters — thanks for saying hello!

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage!

Same as smitherenez !

Australians on the other hand...

And yay to another competition. Hopefully the person that wins will enjoy his/her system.

Cool, if I also win one of the exclusives I will have 3 3DS's.

If I win it, I will give it to a friend who does not have one and wants it. If not, I hope it'll go to someone who really wants it and doesn't have one yet.

Good luck everyone!

I've already got a Aqua Blue 3DS which I love, I guess if I did atually win (which I doubt I will) I could give it to my sister.

It would be really sad if some rich kid with 4 already wins it.

I'd enter, but under the quiz it says "Please note that this competition is only open to residents of the EU."

I already have enough 3DS's in my house, about 5-6 actually

3D tech is something from 2013, isn't it?

WHAT? ONLY EU?... _{but I already entered...}

Meh...a second 3DS could be nice

Great way to bring in new members to this site. Have just registered to enter in this brilliant comp. great site btw have 'lurked' here for a long time.

Nice.
Easy question though.

It's to bad this contest is only for the UK.

I really wanted a red 3DS from the begging, but I didn't want to wait to see if a red one would even come out.

Arhhgg, cross everything...

Nice one.

Me want. Me want bad. Me want very bad.

I will still be 3DS-less during 2012.

@aNT: You kidding me? I could use a European 3DS

@KoKoO_Psy
I decided to attempt holding both of my thumbs after seeing what you wrote.
It's a tricky process.

Good luck to one specific person!
djosh444, the random number generator chose you as the person I am supporting. Grats.

Good luck everyone. Red is the best current colour in my opinion. :3
@25 I'd give it to my sister as well if I got it.

damn. EU resident

Damn. only EU.

Makes me wish we never broke apart...

Remove my vote, just realized it was UK residents only.

Crap. But... I already entered...

I wonder if I'll win again...

You guys should really read before entering! Though we know what country everyone's from before we pick a winner so nobody from outside EU will win.

@NigelHarris Thanks for the compliment — glad you like the site!

I should also mention that this particular 3DS has been sat in my very office for about two months, significantly increasing its value.

I enetered,and I live in the US.

Ima laugh (then cry) if I win. lol

It's been sitting in James' office for two months? This 3DS must... be... Godly!

May I ask why it's only for European residents? I personally would've loved to enter, seeing as how Nintendo of Europe has been on a winning streak of gold compared to NOA.

@xDemon720x: I really hope you won't be the winner xD
One 3DS was enough for you, it's time for me to win now

i signed up for this site, just to win this 3DS

Curses! Foiled again by Lady Geography!

^Please read in a Snidely-Whiplash-esque voice^

@bahooney It's a European 3DS, so it wouldn't play US games.

I`m from EU so, I can win (maybe)

@James, I know, but there are instances where a European 3DSware is released weeks if not months before NOA gets it. There are also instances where Europe will get a game that North America will not. Though the original DS is region-free, I was fortunate that Tingle's Freshly Picked Rosy Rupee Land was released in Europe. I also had to import a European Wii for Xenoblade. I enjoy having consoles from every region to get the most gameplay imaginable!

I hope to win the 3DS for my girlfriend! ^^

@Late If I win again, I will laugh my off. However, I have a feeling I won't be winning this...

BLAST IT. /us resident

Give away a US version too, please?

Nice! I'll enter!

I entered even though my sister and me both have a 3DS each already, if I win I'll cause chaos in my class by saying that I'm giving out a 3DS, who wants xD

Yay, I entered! Hope that I win. Just wondering, couldn't people just create duplicate accounts and enter several times?

@Tasuki: The reason we don't have a NA 3DS contest going at the moment is because we don't have a NA 3DS here in the US to offer. It's sitting in James' office at the moment, and since we can't guarantee it'll make it through US customs with any sort of ease, we apologize, but them's the breaks.

The History of Nintendo contest, though, that company has a foothold in Europe and North America both, so the prizes can be sent from either our offices in either region or directly from the publisher's agents themselves, however it's being handled.

From this point on, I'm going to be deleting all comments made for the purpose of whining and complaining about how the contests are set up. If anyone would like to argue the directors' decisions further, please feel free to take it to the Contact Form, which goes straight to their inboxes. I'm also going to delete any more 'whoops, i entered but i'm not in the right region' comments — it's okay! Mistakes happen, and we know how to find where you're coming from, so your entry won't be counted. We certainly thank you all for being so honest, but this thread is cluttered enough as it is :3

@MiracleBlaze: We have ways of ferreting them out, so that won't be happening. :3

I'm joining in!

Come on, guys (from America ^^)....there are SOOOOO MANY competitions on the web where only you and noone else is alowed to enter. Leave this one little 3DS to us.

I understand the Americans reasoning, we already had a 3DS competition earlier this year that was EU only and the Americans are feeling left out.

Also don't forget that Pix'n Love Publishing offers free worldwide shipping on all its items, and seeing as books are region free — at least, to the best of my knowledge — we can offer that prize around the world thanks to the generosity of Pix'n Love.

@Bahooney All good reasons to import a European 3DS, then

If there's one for NA, I would give it to one of my friends.

If I win this, I might transfer all my data over to the Metallic Red one. Send in my Aqua Blue one for repairs and then give it to my GF... she doesn't like red so. :3

I hope I win... I was lucky before, please let me be lucky again. :3

Too bad its Europe only.But I'm not allowed to get a 3DS...

@xDemon720x

you're gonna give it to your girlfriend?

Err, yeah! She's always wanted a 3DS and this could be my chance to give her one, you never know. :3

Good luck to everyone

The more votes, the less chance I actually win something.

I'm gonna enter on the off chance NL are willing to send it to Australia. The 3DS would work perfect over here so I don't see why not!

I didn't realize that Australia was a part of EU. You learn something new everyday

Dude, Australiasia is friggen massive.

Well we're part of the PAL territory, that's close enough in my eyes.

@xDemon720x: Comment 72: That competition (if you mean the one you won) wasn't only EU, it was only UK if I recall correctly. Otherwise I would've entered and won the 3DS instead of you

@theblackdragon @james While I understand you mods have a right to delete whatever comments you want across this whole site, sometimes i think you're a little too 'delete happy.' What does it hurt if a few members are sad they can't enter? Life goes on, just ignore them, but give them the freedom to say what they want if they want to. Just my 2 cents. Good luck to whoever in Europe wins the contest. I'm happy to see people winning stuff!

I'm glad that Austria is a part of the EU :3

This competition made me register.
I've been a visitor for a long time.

@Late Oh, was it? I thought it was for all of the EU, my mistake... also, you won't win! _{I'll make sure of it} :3

@Cyrso Same here! Hello, all.

I

MUST

WIN!

Must . resist . answering !
I've gotten too used to my black release day 3DS to change to a non-limited, not very redesigned model now. Paired with the certainty that others here would be bazillion times happier if they win it just wouldn't feel right to me. Good luck pals.

PS: Welcome new people.

@grumblegrumble We work hard to provide competitions to as many people as we can. I understand it's frustrating not to be able to enter contests but I don't want to see dozens of comments whinging about it

@WiiLovePeace The terms of entry for the competition are quite clear: you must reside in Europe to win this prize.

Good luck to everyone!

If I got one, I may only buy from Ebay...
I live in Latin America

i hope i win

And now we wait!

I hope someone winswho deservesit..... Not someone boasting about having multiple 3DSes ( I guess that's the plural form ). Well, good luck to everyone and congrats to who ever wins. Stupid George Washington and his followers ( thanks to them I can't win this 3DS and I missed out on having a cool accent ).

Good Luck =)

I didn't enter because I already have a 3DS, but good luck to everyone!

i live in continental europe (istanbul/turkey's european part) but my country isnt a member of EU. Why don't you change the rules into Europe, instead of EU only?

I would love to win it, I didn't get it with christmas and I like red. Too bad the chances of winning are 1/10000 . Well then, good luck to everyone !

I already have a blue 3DS, but one of my friends wants a 3DS (he's playing MK7 on mine now,) and it would be nice to have more that 1 person on my friend list (i only put people I know on my list)

That buddy of mine lived in italy for a year, but now he's back here, WHY!?

how exciting....

I hope whoever gets it will surely enjoy the crap out of it it's fun and not only that Pokemon is coming up with more surprises January 14th I have a blue 3DS

Good luck to everyone!

the answer is march 25 i look up online but i hope i win

Looks sweet! ^_^

So who's the lucky winner?!

We'll draw the winner tomorrow

We've contacted the winner – check your emails, everyone!
