What am I missing here, how do you enter?

Panomama 28th March 2011, 15:30

I would enter if it didn't say that dennis publishing might phone me.

Roboduck 28th March 2011, 15:32

Awww, no Yanks allowed? Sad day.... Cool stuff though! Wish they did more like this in the US.

Angel OD 28th March 2011, 15:37

It had to happen... The day I wished I lived in the UK and not in Denmark! LOL

Meh. Entered. I reserve the right to spam their opt-out system if they get annoying.

h_h_boys76 28th March 2011, 16:16

It may be open for globally since we got to choose the countries. Otherwise it would have just restricted to UK and stated on the competition page like other previous competition. Just my guess. :-)

The competition to open to all UK bit-tech readers

???

PS: Does that sentence make sense ? To open to all ?

ssj12 28th March 2011, 16:33

No US = Fail!

Volund 28th March 2011, 16:41

The competition is only open to people from the UK..... as always

McSteel 28th March 2011, 16:48

No love for continental Europe :(

HourBeforeDawn 28th March 2011, 17:54

ugh another UK only.... ~_~ I wonder if the UK is the largest reader base for Bit-Tech or if other countries have more readers... oh well...

Jipa 28th March 2011, 18:30

£500+ worth of prizes and they can't afford worldwide shipping?

Cool.

I do that every time I look at car prices ..

But as Jipa said - multinational company, the items are probably shipping from Taiwan anyways, so why no international option?

Locknload 28th March 2011, 19:53

Whats the answer then, since i cannot be bothered to find out by reading? hahaha

Or the items are shipping from BT's offices in the UK?

Roboduck 28th March 2011, 20:41

If shipping costs are the only holdup, maybe they could have free shipping within the UK but winners outside the UK pay for shipping?

Here here, I say, you have TR and some other great websites that offer decent competitions.
It's also possibly a business venture to push NZXT in the UK?

McSteel 28th March 2011, 20:45

I think this will be more of a cheap marketing research ;)

Skibo1219 28th March 2011, 21:10

Im tired of being forced to use Facebook for contests and other stuff, I am officially boycotting Facebook and its anti-privacy policy and anyone business that uses it for contests. If you all dont like someone watching over your shoulder at everything you do, then stop using facebook.
I like NZXT but their use of facebook only contests is bullsh*t

rowin4kicks 28th March 2011, 21:26

done!

edit. should win cos its my 1000th post!

It should be an option to opt out BEFORE you press submit. Just like every other site I've been on.

This isn't a Facebook contest...

entry is here: http://competitions.bit-tech.net/win-the-newest-release-h2-chassis-from-nzxt-

Pity its UK only.. Tom's is the same only to the US..

We in Aus get left out all the time... give some to your friends from down under next time?

kzinti1 29th March 2011, 02:12

Since the United States citizens are excluded, along with any other citizen of Earth, except the United Kingdom, then the least NZXT could do is to only sell their products to U.K. citizens.
If the rest of this planet isn't good enough to enter their contest then we certainly aren't up to snuff when it comes to purchasing their wares.
I just LOVE the way these types of igmo's, including U.S and other countries sites, enjoy shooting themselves in their own wallets! If a company wants to be part of the Global Economy then there should be no prejudism in excluding any single person on Earth from their promotions.

uugh didn't see the only UK residents thing until after I entered =/ oh well. And for all you people complaining about the region limitation I live in Hawaii. Even if the competition said it was open to the US there's a good chance that it would only be open to those in the continental US. Region specificity also gives those who can enter a better chance to win. If it were completely open to the world and they gave away *one* first place and *one* second place prize the chances of each entrant winning would plummet to near 0. As it is even with just the UK the chances of winning are near 0 for each entrant. You wouldn't want it to be any worse if you were one of those who could enter. Also remember this is a UK forum so it's obvious that stuff would be more UK centric.

Same here.
I was so happy it wasn't a Facebook/Twitter only competition, I didn't see that.

On th page of the competition it doesn't say it's UK only, but that's because the best thing is hidden here though: Terms and conditions
"Competitions open to UK residents only, unless otherwise stated." ;)

Out of the goodness of it's heart NZXT has updated this competition so that it's now enterrable by bit-tech readers from UK, Europe and USA and Canada.

Enjoy and good luck.

Roboduck 29th March 2011, 17:32

YAY!

Thanks!

Wow that's awesome :D. Question though. If I entered before this update do I need to enter again?

You shouldn't have to, unless the address you entered was outside the UK, but TBH I don't know for sure.

TBear-(DK)- 29th March 2011, 18:39

Nice! so if i win and live in Denmark, i have to pay for shipping or what?

McSteel 29th March 2011, 18:59

Who cares? It will be a fraction of the original price, and NZXT makes some really good stuff! :)
If the shipping price, if any, proves to be too much for you, you can always forfeit/decline the reward and it will be offered to someone else.

murraynt 29th March 2011, 19:16

Yeahhh, thanks Bit-Tech and NZXT.

HourBeforeDawn 29th March 2011, 19:58

WOOT THANK YOU BIT-TECH for changing the requirements ^_^ *hugz* all I really need out of that is either of the NZXT HALE90 PSU as the white design and flat ribbons would go great with a project Im working on... by the way once I am closer to finishing thats when I will post the work log ^_^

The address I used was outside the UK. Would it hurt if I just entered again :P?

Jipa 30th March 2011, 06:20

Thanks for opening it to the rest of Europe as well! And I can has the PSU pls?

confusis 30th March 2011, 07:06

Gah - I'm from NZ, still not allowed

wait.....they should do an New Zealand only contest as they have NZ in their name!

BlackRaven 30th March 2011, 13:57

Nice to be able to get a chance to win the gear. H2 looks great. White please :)

maxter43 30th March 2011, 15:17

Nice contest, but...

How many contests are there for the "other" countries? I know it isn't bit-tech's fault, as I live in Brazil I'm just curious. =)

paisa666 30th March 2011, 17:27

Damn it... what about us the two southamericans of the community?? lol

good luck for the competitors :)

ixmatal 31st March 2011, 23:14

How is it considered a "competition" when all you have to do is look up the date a company was founded, then give them permission to spam you all they want?

I guess technically it -could- be called a "drawing".

mars-bar-man 1st April 2011, 01:39

I've entered. Fingers crossed!
