It's kind of like buying a copy of Crackdown with the Halo 3 beta sticker on it, for you to fire it in and find out that the sticker was put on that box by accident.
I'm not blaming Eurogamer for this, as these things always go tits up, especially when it's such a small number of keys for such a large amount of people chomping at the bit. It's still a lot of cock to get a congrats email and for it to be sent in error. In better news, George Michael has been banned from driving for 2 years. Crazy lunatic. |

pocababs: No, we're not saying that. We're saying that clearly the system was very busy at the point the giveaway went live, and despite our testing, it must have got a bit confused at the point that everyone hit the button at exactly the same time, and a few users (i.e. probably everyone who clicked it in a 1-2 second period) got the confirmation message but no key (all 25 keys were gone 4 seconds after it went live).
I'll get a full explanation from our tech guys shortly. |

It uses a php script, and i'm guessing it wasn't designed for that many people to claim at once! They probably run out of keys but the validation on the script thought there were keys available, thus people got the empty key message as the key variable was empty for this competition. Sorry guys

@rauper: I assumed it's got something to do with the system being overloaded in a short space of time. As many have posted that they've received messages ~40 are going to miss out after being told they've won. Granted that you've told us that we haven't and that it'd appear in our giveaway section on our profile. The question that most are asking is whether SI & EG will offer a place to those who missed out. Can you give anything on this or is it just a case of tough luck?

I am not very happy at the organisation that went into this competition.
a) the time at which it started was incorrect. You stated 3pm GMT, when infact Britain is currently in GMT + 1, therefore it should not even have started yet! b) the fact that I was "given" a message saying I was successfull @ 15:00 (followed shortly again at 15:04 and 15:06) and being told by you that I was not is once again a disgrace. I recently signed up to your website and have been very disapointed in your service thus far. |
