Huzzah! A winner is me! ^_^ (Tales Of Symphonia Sweepstakes)

[GunPanther]

I just won a spiffy keen set of three limited edition cards from the "Tales Of Symphonia" sweepstakes that Namco was promoting a couple of months ago.

The cool part? It's the "Grand Prize".

Hell, it may only be a set of three cards, but if the only way you get them is to win a contest, that's cool enough for me.


Below is a copy of the email I received from Namco.

I thought the grand prize was a limited edition Gamecube?

[Querjek]

That's pretty cool and all, but... the grand prize was just 3 cards? What was third place, 1 card?

[Daniel Thomas]

No, I think Third Place is a crank call from one of the Namco playtesters. For Second Prize, they actually make you laugh.

[youruglyclone]

[sisko]

Who cares if its only three cards! Its just nice to see a fellow DPer win! Congratulations!

I'd ask them to call me back so I could record the conversation as proof that I won a crank call.

Congrats on your win as well.

You have to admit, if these cards are only available through contests, they WILL be highly sought after.

Speaking of which, I have yet to even play Tales Of Symphonia, but I'll eventually get around to it.

Which cards did you receive from the Nintendo promotion?
