Here's your chance : http://www.ati.com/

Click on the flash ad, you'll know the enemy when you see it.

That's it.
A cross between a lottery and "first come, first served".

PCNUBY · 09-15-2003, 05:29 PM

**pam123** · 09-15-2003, 05:49 PM

If there aren't too many people in front of you, you get a copy of Hl2.

tigstah · 09-15-2003, 05:57 PM

Prew · 09-16-2003, 04:31 PM

Where does it say that they are giving away copies of the game? - How many games are they giving away?

ToyotaSupra · 09-16-2003, 05:40 PM

I signed up.... hopefully I get one lol but I doubt it.

fudtone · 09-16-2003, 05:44 PM

thanks
its worth a shot

TimPoet · 09-16-2003, 06:47 PM

I didn't see a flash ad. Maybe they discontinued it.

fudtone · 09-16-2003, 07:08 PM

You can either wait for the flash to run it's course and then click on "register here" or you can click on the large bug when it shows up ( I suspect that's the better idea ).
This will get you a registration screen that will ask you for your name, what video card you have and your e-mail.
Fill it out, click submit and you're in the lottery.
I'm sure they'll be handing out games, I DON'T know if they'll also award new Radeons, either way it's worth a shot.
And no, they don't sell the info.
That's how ATI usually does these things.
They've done it before but I never caught it in time for the effort to be worth it.

Just checked and the flash and the entry is still there.
Try again ?

Prew · 09-17-2003, 03:30 PM

Cool, I'm registered

Nuclear Krusader · 09-17-2003, 04:58 PM

Since I own an nVidia VC I don't think they will pick me.

azscary · 09-17-2003, 05:06 PM

AllI get is this blank white box to pop up?

Sharpened Metal · 09-17-2003, 05:29 PM

It's worth a shot. I'm a HUGE fan of Half-Life and all it's mods.
