They have some insanely nice prizes in the contest - namely, alienware laptops and custom-skinned PCs.

And the ME2 CE desktop:

The entire contest is worth about $62,000 in prizes. A decent bit of the prizes are one-of-a-kind items, which are awesome.

One of the ways they are allowing people to generate points is through referral links. You can click anyones link and earn that person points. If anyone else is in the competiton, I'd be glad to click their link for them.

I'll gladly edit in the names on this first post if anyone is interested in clicking on the links - you can click as many links as you like (which takes you to Dragon Age, or Mass Effect landing pages) to help people out. It'd be nice to see VGC-ers represented in the contest. It ends on April 10th, but there is more than enough time to win prizes as you need about 9,000 to win an auction, which isn't impossible for someone getting in on the competition.

I'm perfectly happy with my computer, so probably not

I clicked your link few times, I would make one but I'm incredibly lazy and doubt I would get enough ref's to win anything :-p

I made a thread about this and no one was around for it. I would have murdered people for a chance at that Dragon Age tower. As it stands I only have about 4k points. I almost wrote a script to use the Tor network to click on my link 50 times a day, but then I got lazy. After seeing the specs on those PCs I'm really really sad I did not do it.

well i think i'm to late to be in the game but still i woudnt mind getting the mass effect computer

I don't think you'd be too late to enter - I started last night, and have 6,600 points.

I just made an account. :D

Where did you get that many from? Seriously? I'm at 3600 and have been posting my link around and gotten everything I could short of buying Awakkening and ME2 again.

You don't have to buy the games. There are contests on the site that ask you a 5-6 questionaire which allows you to earn the points as if you owned the games.

What? Are you serious? You have to be bullshitting me. Where are they? I've been doing the twitter things too but only won one. If I had gotten those points I would have definitely done that script.
