Rules & How to Enter

Any GBAtemp users are free to enter! All you need is an account.

However, in order to make sure the winner is legitimate or to avoid dupe entries (which you should know, alternate accounts are against our rules!) the winners will be verified after the draw. If the both the winner's account was registered after this thread was posted, AND is found to use a proxy or VPN to access the site, they will be excluded, and a re-draw will take place for their prize.

To enter, simply post in the upcoming raffle entry thread that will be on the front page next week! Please note that this is just the announcement thread, not the raffle entry thread!

(If Amazon is not available in the winner’s country, we’ll make sure to work something out for the equivalent prize value)

Considering how divisive the Switch OLED thread is it's not surprising the first page has multiple people talking about how lackluster of a first prize the raffle has, but I think it's great. Nintendo does what Sonydon't: have interesting exclusives that don't get put on the PC shortly after. I'll definitely join. I'll even give my reservation to someone else if I win.

Thanks!

It may be disappointing as an upgrade, but it is still an upgrade over the old version, not like it got worse. I think the people upset want the prize to be a non-Mariko Switch, and there's no realistic way that could happen unless someone here wants to donate one as a prize.

we had been preparing this for months and the #1 prize was supposed to be a Switch Pro.
instead, all we get is a slightly improved screen... that sucks! We shouldn't have relied on the stupid rumors.

I'm pretty sure I suggested the
Switch Pro as the
top
prize, so you
can
blame me.

Also
the mobile editor is being
obnoxious with
random newlines and
really slow
typing speed, if you recently updated something, I suggest you roll back
the
update. I'm leaving the newlines in this post
to demonstrate what I mean. Firefox on Android 11, Samsung Galaxy A51

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
