Wow.
I think we knew that Free Card Friday was going to go over well, but we had no idea how well. The blog is used to taking in a good amount of traffic, but apparently it wasn’t ready for the EOJ community! We had an overwhelming response and we want to thank everyone who participated. Confirmation emails are going out today to the first 500 people that submitted their info, you should be receiving cards in the next 2 weeks.
For those of you who have been hanging in suspense, sorry for the wait. Thousands of addresses were submitted and there were a “ton” of duplicate entries and incomplete submissions that needed to be scrubbed so now we can finally contact the card winners. So, if you’re wondering why it took so long to get a confirmation, now you know.
For those of you who didn’t score the cards this time around, thanks so much for participating and don’t feel bad. Based on the response last week, we have decided to do …
Free Card Friday PART TWO!!
Note: This is for the folks who “didn’t” score cards last week.
If you were one of the lucky 500 who won, if you submit your info again for Free Card Friday Part 2, it will be counted as a duplicate and removed.
(Sorry ya’ll, but we want to spread the wealth.)
So if you didn’t win last week, be sure to dial into the blog this Friday afternoon (5:00 PM PST) for a “second” chance to get these cards.
Same cards, same rules apply. (Don’t worry- Jeff fortified the PS Blog for the next wave!)
Till then, have a great week!
Nice. Thanks for these opportunities. :D
Thanks for the Cards ^_^ just read my mail
and at 44 – Local is still better then buying online.. but glad to see somewhere in Canada has the cards because Alberta SURE DOESN’T. T_T
I got my confirmation email, yay!!!
Once again I set out for my weekly journey to find “ANY” EOJ cards.
Target: None, Electronics person didn’t even know what they were till I pointed out the game in the case and gave a detailed description. I think he is going to buy the game. They had 2 peg hooks with labels for the Set 1, but has been empty for over a month.
Wal-mart: None, I went to 5 different Wal-marts. They have never had them. I would tell you what employee’s tell me when I ask about them, but you would wet yourself with hysterical laughter.
ToysRUs: 1 beat up Wood Theme deck from Set 1, nothing else. They have no idea if Set 2 will ever come in.
Gamestop: I went to 3 Gamestops. Each store only had 2 booster packs from set 2, which of course I bought them all out.
So for a whole days work of driving around? 6 booster packs from set 2, of which only 3 were new cards.
Now if I could only convert all the multitude of duplicates I have into Gasoline to cover the entire day of driving around it would be perfect. I tried holding the duplicate cards up to the headlights on my car to see if it would read them, or at least transform into a Parmetic Deathspeaker, but alas no.
HAPPY TIMES
I dont have the game but plan on buying it to get the eyetoy. So the free cards couldnt hurt if I can cath it next time around.
maybe we can have a free promotional email address list contest, where the first 500 to post get to have their site advertised to everyone who signed up for the free promo cards! ;)
Tried to get a card last Friday, but failed do to lack of internet (I used my phone and the server crash made me think i lost service in the area). :( I will be trying again this Friday WITH the internet this time!
Another winner here…Thanks Mark and Chuck for all the hard work.
I think it’s great that you’re doing a second one for people who didn’t get in on the first batch, but I’m disappointed that it’s the same time again. I reloaded the page all day last week, and then finally saw that it would be 5PM (8PM EDT) when I’m unavailable. I logged in as soon as I could after that but I just got the email saying I wasn’t in the first 500. Now the next giveaway is at the same time again? Wouldn’t it make sense to do it at a different time to give other people a chance?
Wait a minute, i didn’t even get an email saying i got in or not, what does that mean???
Possibly your email was entered incorrectly. In anycase, try again this Friday!
