Our newest sponsor GameByGame is generously offering a DSiPlayer flash cart for a free raffle. They’ve been with us for no time at all and are already willing to shell out some serious prizes, so be sure to support them as well as supporting us by visiting this site, participating in this raffle and of course buying from GameByGame.com. And the most impressive part of this raffle is the fact that it takes practically nothing to participate, you quite literally provide your email address and you are good to go.
What is the iPlayer, and why would you want it? [Read the DSDatabase iPlayer Review] Well if you haven’t been with the scene lately, be sure to check it out. This $50 flash cart is one of the most expensive out there because it is completely unique. So if you have an AceKard 2i or an M3i Zero, getting the iPlayer is still completely sane. The iPlayer is not a flash cart designed to play commercial games, instead it focuses on homebrew and multimedia, and it does it well. With the latest news that the iPlayer now has the one and only GameBoy Advance emulator, making it the ONLY GameBoy Advance solution for the Nintendo DSi, as well as the only cart that can play avi, mp4, flv and other video codecs without any conversion, the iPlayer is without a doubt a unique cart.
How do you participate in this raffle?
It is simple, you simply reply to ANY DSDatabase blog post with a valid email address during the allotted time. You do so by filling out the form at the very bottom of the page. If you are a DSDatabase member, just post anything, and I will use the email address tied to your account, if not, then you will have to fill in your email address in the email address field or just include it in your post. Now it isn’t necessary for you to post anything else, but I’d personally prefer a sentence or two rather than blank responses. 😛 So recap:
– reply to any blog post
– make sure there is a valid email address
– that is ALL you need to do
I also encourage users to post on our forum and subscribe to the DSDatabase YouTube channel. I may or may not decide to reward those who do. 😛
“I’m a GameByGame customer, shouldn’t I get anything in return?”
GameByGame must be really nice to their customers because they’ve given me very specific instructions on how to treat past customers. That’s right, if you have ordered from GameByGame in the past, you get a BONUS. Here are the instructions they gave me.
– If the winner of the raffle is a previous GameByGame.com customer, then GameByGame.com will include a bonus item. The bonus item will be a surprise item that will be revealed after the raffle closes.*
– If the winner of the raffle has already purchased an iPlayer from GameByGame.com, then the winner can either choose an 8GB microSD memory card, M3i Zero, or AceKard2i. The winner will also get the surprise bonus item.** The winner must have previously purchased item(s) from GameByGame.com prior to the close of the raffle. The winner of the raffle must provide his/her name and order number so that his/her information can be verified.
To clarify, purchases made right up until the day the winner is announced are still counted for this bonus.
So from what I understand, if you are a customer and you win, you will get a bonus item. If you happen to be a GameByGame customer AND you bought an iPlayer, you can still enter the raffle for a prize other than an iPlayer (I’m fairly certain you can still pick the iPlayer). Obviously at the end, evidence must be provided, but I thought it was really kind of GameByGame to think of their loyal customers like that.
Rules:
– Raffle is open from September 23rd, 2009 at 6:00 PM PST to October 11th, 2009 at 12:00 AM PST (which is midnight, you have all of October 11th to enter, but once it becomes October 12th, no more entries will be accepted).
– First name selected will be the winner, second name selected is the backup winner, who will only receive the prize in the event that the first winner fails to respond or denies the prize.
– The winner has 3 days to respond to the email sent out on the day the winner is announced. If he/she fails to reply in time, they forfeit the prize to the second winner. In the event that you know you cannot respond, simply send me an email before the winner is drawn stating so.
– DSDatabase and GameByGame reserve the right to disqualify anyone suspected of foul play, lack of courtesy and respect, and anything bad, as well as change the rules as they see fit.

Does posting here count? 😛
Great to see that they’re letting you raffle one off 😀
Using an iPlayer should keep me entertained when I get bored of playing commercial games 😛
And so would I.
Hi Pharaoh! Count me in on this fun!
@specialjerm yes it counts
Hi, im very interested too. I like to enter in the raffle ^_^.
I heard so much now that the iPlayer can now play the gba games on it, which im really psych about and its on Dsi makes it even better. Since Dsi cant play gba games anymore >_<. Ok well ill check back in on again later on, hoping to win ^____^
Another great giveaway…Thanks PV! Always look forward to these. Got my fingers crossed! 🙂
Just thought you guys might want to know, it seems like iwakura is doing practically the SAME raffle. XD As he put it “it’s a small world”. So to “double” your odds of winning, be sure to check out his raffle too:

When does it start and were do we post that we want to enter?
Ah trying to bribe us to subscribe to the youtube channel. How would you know who’s who when they subscribe?
With that post, you’ve already entered 🙂
Well, I’d like to join, too. Thanks for this raffle, playing GBA games on a slot 1 card sounds cool.
How nice of them to offer a bonus…now to remember where I bought my flashcart from…
Hiya I want to join
Heck, sign me up! With the DSTT getting little to no support now (like with the latest Mario and Luigi 🙁 ) I need a new cart… since I live on a college campus there’s no telling what will happen to my real copy of M&L 🙁
I’d like to enter please
Yay! Thank you Pharaoh and GameByGame! iPlayer is awesomee
i’d like to enter too, ordered from gamebygame a few times before grate shipping and fast so i know the bonus will be good.
entering now…
maybe this time I will win
I’mma run in this campaign.
I bought a M3i Zero from GameByGame one of the best thing I ever bought in my life, lol.
@DaDAM – I haven’t thought that far out yet, I didn’t even decide if I’d do anything extra, just thought I’d put it out there for now and change the rules later. 🙂
@Crhistman01 – You do realize the iPlayer doesn’t do commercial roms right? 😛
Sign me up please Pharaoh.
Wow, this is great. The iPlayer looks like an amazing cart, i’d love to have one!
Count me in
It’s my chance to win the iPlayer.
Takes a shot. 😛 Too bad I’m not a previous gbg buyer if I won.
Another great competition.
Wow. Nice competition PharaohsVizier.
My Ez Flash 3in1 isn’t working so maybe this is a good chance to get a gba emu AND an awesome media player.
Hey, great site! Maybe I’ll have a little luck in this contest!
Okay guys, I just got word from GameByGame, they are counting all sales up until the day the winner is announced. So if you buy a cart now, or next week from GameByGame, it’ll still count towards the bonus. 🙂
So boxshot, no need to regret not buying from them… just do it now 😛
sounds good, let’s hope for another win :p
*posts*
Cool PharaohsVizier, as always..
Very nice of you to maintain this site and host the competition!
Can i also enter?
-o2oxygen
I would like to enter and i am also guessing so would every other person on the site. Since the GBA emulator was released for the iPlayer. Which is one of the reasons i want it and the other is for the potential for all the other awesome emulators that could utilize the power of the iPlayer. And another is i don’t have the money so why not try to win one.
I already have an iplayer but not from gamebygame so if i win can i choose something else
The iPlayer truly is a amazing card, with the extra CPU it can even Emulate GBA now, although this will probably be featured in future cards, even so, it’s an amazing card for it’s generation, i’d love to own one of these.
Hey!
Good luck to all those who enter 🙂
Just a quick question, but will you be announcing the winners on YouTube like you did the last competition?
Thanks
Hello sir i want to enter with the raffle pls… Thanks in advance
i’ve been thinking about getting an iPlayer, maybe this will save me the trouble
Hooray for contest (Hope I win !!!)
Does anyone know how is GBG’s shipping outside of USA ?
I would like to enter! I hope I win, I have been planning on getting both the DSiPlayer and the AceKard 2i, maybe this will save me some serious bucks 😀
Hi PharaohsVizier! I heard you were hosting this raffle and I heard the iPlayer was a very good cart (especially because of the new GBA emulator :P) so I thought I’d join.
I never win these raffles, but I’ll enter anyway. Good luck to people who actually need this (unlike me) !
Sweet giveaway I hope I win. I really want to play GBA on my DSi 😉
That’s pretty nice of GBG to give their customers a bonus. Too bad I get everything from DX. xD
Anyways, enter me up. ^_^
I want in 🙂
Greetings from Israel.
Ah, yes, an iPlayer.
Maybe I don’t have to convert to dpg’s anymore if I win.
Hmm, this could be nice.
I’m posting here so I can get that nifty iplayer 😉
I’m mainly want this iplayer so I can try out the GBA Emulator (I don’t like having to switch to my PSP just to play GBA games).
I someday hope to become a flashcart reviewer like you (like I posted on gbatemp) because I’d like to be able to get a more diverse collection of flashcarts and so I can possibly reduce alot of the “Omg which flashcart!?” topics. But sadly I just don’t have the money to get it going, I know that eventually if you’re good you’ll get sponsored and get free models but that might take a few years and alot of money to get going.
woohoo. i wuld like to entr plz.
