I decided it’s time to give something back to all the loyal members of this site. So I’ll be giving away a free copy of Heavy Rain! To enter this contest you have to a member, and it’s free to register.
This contest will be done a little different. You will be using your points to “buy” a lottery ticket. Each “Lottery Ticket” will cost you 250 Points, you may enter up to 4 times or 1000 points max.* To enter the lottery click on the “Donate Points” link in the side bar. It’s right above the poll once your logged in. Then put in lottery as the username and donate your points.
If you already have 1,000 points, then your set. But who knows when another contest may come up. So it would be wise to stock up on your points. There are a variety of ways to earn points. New members get 100 points just for registering and if you visit the site daily you get another 15 points. You can keep track of the points you’ve earned by clicking the “My Points” link at the bottom of the sidebar.
I’ll be picking a member/lottery ticket at random on Feb. 21st, 2010 at 7 p.m. Mountain Time.
* Anything over 1000 points donated to the lottery during this contest will be ignored, and you would have wasted them as well.

#8 by LazerFX on February 3rd, 2010 [ 0 Points ]
Darn it. I read the site by RSS, have done for months (Registered 5 months ago, according to wordpress). Been here for longer than that though…
Only got 120 points. Bugger.
#9 by Kicks on February 3rd, 2010 [ 1054 Points ]
Points donated
Great idea!
#10 by Luke on February 3rd, 2010
This is why people should register, this site has a lot of things in the works. Also be sure to check if you are logged in, nothing worse than finding out you have been contributing and never get the points for it because you were not logged in.
#11 by schydog on February 3rd, 2010 [ 165 Points ]

15 points for daily login, but only 5 for a comment?
I like the idea of purchasing tickets with points. Great stuff.
#17 by FrenchK on February 3rd, 2010 [ 325 Points ]
nice idea, i’m like others though, usually follow it via RSS so don’t accumulate points even though i read every article posted. Ah well
this blog isn’t only about accumulating points, love it
#18 by T0SH on February 3rd, 2010 [ 796 Points ]
How about 10 points for a comment then?
#19 by yodaddy on February 3rd, 2010

#25 by AJ on February 3rd, 2010 [ 515 Points ]
Cant wait to see the demo of this game!! Most awaited after Uncharted 2
#26 by TheRealMaxPower on February 3rd, 2010 [ 960 Points ]
A demo will be very welcome. Very curious about this game. I don’t know what to expect but I hope I come away pleasantly surprised!
Wish I was a member before (used to post under matt and thought I did
). Now I am all set and can collect points!
#27 by caldape95 on February 3rd, 2010 [ 255 Points ]
Awesome idea. Will submit points right now!

What a great idea! Thanks a lot guys.
#29 by EdEN on February 3rd, 2010 [ 102947 Points ]
Well, look at that. Hopefully I’ll at least make the 250 point mark to have a shot at this. I loved their last game on PS2, so hopefully they’ve refined the experience by now…
#30 by iwantheavyrainplz on February 3rd, 2010 [ 120 Points ]

#34 by JimmyStewart on February 4th, 2010 [ 710 Points ]
Sweet, I’ll play. Heavy Rain looks really interesting, I’d love to play it it… but I’ve got to play “budgeting” instead.
#35 by T0SH on February 4th, 2010 [ 796 Points ]
You can still earn points while on a mobile device. But you need to be logged in first. But to donate the actual points, you’ll need to be on a pc.
Ya, donating points on the mobile site doesn’t work, sorry.
#36 by Eddie on February 5th, 2010 [ 43763 Points ]
it won’t work on my pc either. still wont work for me this morning.
#37 by T0SH on February 5th, 2010 [ 796 Points ]
What browser are you using? What does it do after you press donate? Did you click the “Confirm” button?
#38 by Techtistic on February 5th, 2010 [ 135 Points ]
Ah, the hope of winning something. At the very least you got a new member for your website.
#39 by MOVIELORD101 on February 6th, 2010 [ 125 Points ]
Count me in! I’d like to win a free copy!
#40 by kennygk on February 7th, 2010 [ 13035 Points ]
nice great idea
#41 by EdEN on February 9th, 2010 [ 102947 Points ]
The Demo was great since it helps get an idea of how the game will progress and how the controls perform for most of the time.
#42 by Oly on February 15th, 2010 [ 129779 Points ]

#43 by topthis on February 17th, 2010 [ 985 Points ]

#44 by T0SH on February 18th, 2010 [ 796 Points ]
