They are indeed decent but what about those that cant get DSL and win .. is there a back up prize or are they excluded from the above??

Post 4

whats that worth to those of us who already have internet connections (internode or other)?

Post 5

If you can't get ADSL...
Consider giving it as a gift to a friend, family, etc

If you already have ADSL with internode...
the free month is valid

If you have ADSL with xyz company...
change to the NODE!

You want a backup prize...
Door Prizes as usual will be provided by Computers For You.

Post 6

well hope those that are on DSL and have 1.5 come first and 512 2nd etc etc :)

Post 7

Shit Unseen - it's a free gift ffs - quit whinging... would you rather be given nothing?

Post 8

no its a good free gift .. I was just asking if there was something for those that cant get DSL ..

or the what if's

Post 9

ok, i could use it to knock a bit off my monthly bill, thats all i needed to hear

Post 10

yeah, if you have a plan above the 16GB you just have to liaise with internode accounts, not sure whether it's just 'one month free' or to the value of the relevant 16GB. i will see if i can find out.. and the guys from IGN (we have iggy and ugly in particular to thank for this) may be dropping in to EVO too.

He better!

Post 12

Sounds like a great prize, and as Pala said, if it knocks of a monthly bill, SWEET !!1

Post 13

WOW
Awesome prizes
Unseen I don’t even know why your worried about this cause your not even a DGA member.

I think its time for knight to become one now :)

Burk is it cool if I just print this off http://www.users.on.net/%7Eburk/M1.pdf
Fill it in and give it to you along with the money at evo?
Also is it cool if I e-mail you a copy aswell so I can get my membership card at evo :)

Post 14

I know im not a member .. still doesnt cover the point of if im with iinet and i win .. do I miss out?

Post 15

but hey Im just throwing the what if's around .. dont need to take notice .. nobody does anyway.

Post 16

you could always just sell it.you may as well raise the same damn point if a radeon 9800 gets offered as a prize. "but what if i've got an x800?!". sell it. move on.

it isn't necessary for you to post negative counterexamples to every dga related post, honestly, it's just starting to sound like a case of sour grapes.

Post 17

it was a querying question ..

ive applied for dsl with another company .. if I come first and i have 1.5mb and with a different company and I do become a member will I recieve something for winning.

that was my only question .. same as you asked.

Post 18

yes. you will receive the internode package, which you'll have to gift to someone, or sell, or whatever. same as any other prize you happen to win which you dont need. (like my door prize pizza a few lans ago, that i got ten mins after gorging on pizza king)

Post 19

Also a question, for the person who wins, and they do use it, is it compulsary that they stay on DSL?? As in after the month expires can they simply stop using it?

Post 20

Let me be the first person to say I would love to win this prize.
Im on this 56k connection and I hate it. The free install costs would rock.
Shut up whingers if you win give it to me.

Post 21

alright u can have mine stephen if I win

Post 22

Go Stephen :P

Its an awesome prize, but I can't get DSL where I am, So i'll atleast make some money out of it by selling it If I win :)

Post 23

ahhh, that reminds me of the time when phoenix won the door prize... i said to him... ill buy it off you for $90 if you win.... as soon as his name was called out i was the happiest man in the world :D

if unseen wins... i think everyone will have a smile on their face

*it was a 9600xt valued at $300+*

Post 24

If Unseen wins it , it could possibly be the most ironic, funny event known to mankind. :)

Great prize, good work Burk.

Just in case Unseen does win, I want to be the firsted to quote coco :D

I will register as a member for DGA, that node prize makes the money worth it.

Post 26

If you are on 1.5mbit node and you win the 256k prize, all you would need to do is come and chat to me and we would get the cost of that 256k account discounted on your 1.5mbit account,

I would also assume if you eonw a 256k account but you wanted a 512k plan we would be happy to charge you the difference and make that happen also.

anyway see you in too weeks

(unseen dont you love it when people complain about free stuff like it isn't good enough)

Post 27

never said it wasnt good enough .. definetly the best prize dga has had to offer in the what 5 yrs that I have been part of it ..

but the information you supplied above was the answer that I was after....

Post 28

Nice prizes. Very nice in fact.

Hmmm...

Thats exactly what I was wondering... What happens at the end of the free month...

Post 30

i'd like to think they would stay online, even if it's on a lower plan.

Post 31

If I win I'll stay on. I want free install :)

Post 32

out of all the lans ive been to, be it in canberra or darwin, that is by far the best singular prize ive come across :D so good luck to everyone in it, thats certainly somthing good to get your hands on.

Post 33

valhalla (sa) get's similar prizes from internode. but this is the biggest Darwin has seen, and hopefully they can only get bigger. :)

Post 34

Lets hope these prizes will pry people from their homes and into the LAN. Last years EVO at the Fosky was excellant.........

Post 35

WoW must be keeping them all at home. :) i'm trying everything to get people to come down for this event to make it bigger and better than last year. We have console gaming, more prizes and more fun events, including the new Chupa Chups Challenges :)

Post 36

Burk is the man!!!!

Post 37

lots of FUN!
might even comtemplate bringing the xbox along... meh guess it just depends on how lazy i am

Post 38

I have burnout 3 for x-box with all crash junctions and heavyweight cars unlocked :P

Just so you know, its 8 player goodness, of total smash-a-holism :P

Post 39

:O
i have 3 controllers for my xbox :D
so yea might just have to bring it along, though ive never put it on a network with other xbox's before, so that would be somthing entirely new to me :S
