evga.com Scavanger Hunt 2006- Most annoying contest ever

Disco_Stu · Jul 18, 2006

Evga.com is having thier scavanger hunt contest again this year. Like last year, the prizes are SWEET.

BUT- they are liars and have HORRIBLE customer service.

Last year I won a copy of Prince of Persia 2 from this same contest, I called them twice asking about it and both times I was assured it was on its way. I never recieved the game. I didnt really care because my brother had it on xbox and I had already played it anyway and wasnt that upset about never getting it. Thier failure to ship prizes was also referance by others in last year's thread on this contest. But that makes me far less excited about jumping through thier stupid scavanger hunt hoops this year.

Just be warned, if you happen to win something you will likely have to hound them for weeks to recieve your prize.

That being said, you guys have fun with thier scavanger hunt, Ive got to go to work!

Grand prize is just dinner with the CEO of NVIDIA? I think I'd rather have one of the systems.

unreal · Jul 18, 2006

lol me 2, unless that dinner includes his pay for a day lol and a new system...

unreal · Jul 18, 2006

all i want is hardware, not software or subscriptions lol,, i can get those for free lol

hainer36 · Jul 18, 2006

im gonna bet that you get alot more than just dinner......probably desert too

but it might include that signed 7950GX2 thats underneath the grand prize area too, or some other surprises....along with all expenses paid for

noxqzs · Jul 18, 2006

personally I would rather have the dinner with the CEO. A system will get outdated within months, but learning some principles will last you a lifetime.

Kenshiro · Jul 18, 2006

does anyone know where is the 10th ribbon?

scott d · Jul 18, 2006

well I'm gonna stick it to them and order the most expensive bottle of wine they have, then decide I don't like it and order the second most expensive bottle.
