Crazy! I just decided I'd put in the stupid code on the side of my frosty float cup on the website and what do you know, it says congrats and I won a game!! I've never won anything in my life, this is so weird. Anyone else ever won something crazy like this?

That's the annoying part, I don't have a Wii. According to the site there's 800 games and 800 systems to be given away, of course I win the thing I can't even use when the odds are the same. lol. I might have to pick up a Wii now.

What game? I'll take it off your hands, free of charge! ;)

I've never won anything at all.

Hahaha, I'm not sure what I'll do with it, they said it'll take 8-10 weeks to get here so I have some time to decide if I'll buy a Wii or sell the game. Unfortunately they didn't tell me what game and the rules state they get to decide, so I hope it's a good one. But hey, it's free. O:)

:) Hopefully it's something cool. Let me know what it is when they tell you, and I'll let you know. Hope for Wario Ware or Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. :)

That's awesome, you could always sell the game (if it's a good one) if you don't want to buy the Wii.

Very true. But its better then having a shiney paperweight. Anything gained on something free is a profit.
