I finally got around to doing the video. This time, as you’ll notice immediately, it is all computer generated. It actually took more time to setup Fraps and Camstudio than it would have just cutting out the slips of paper, but I guess it’s time invested to save time for later raffles.
Anyways, the winners of the M3DS Real and iTouchDS are announced in the video with my notepad and slow typing. The video was a lot longer than I thought it would be, but I guess in a way that is the suspence you guys want so much. 🙂 Oddly enough, today also marks the release of the first English BETA of the M3DS Real’s fame Sakura firmware. So hopefully I can get the carts shipped out ASAP so you guys can test it out. 🙂
For those of you who are impatient, the names are listed right below, in the first comment. Those who have WON: PLEASE REPLY TO THE EMAIL THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SENT TO YOUR “VALID” EMAIL ADDRESSES. YOU WILL HAVE UNTIL FEBRUARY 19th, 2009, 12:00AM PST, NOT A MINUTE MORE OR LESS.
Of course, I have to thank the M3 team for providing the prizes. They jumped at the idea of helping us out, so if you guys won, be sure to email them with a quick thank you or something. Remember that without them, there would be no giveaway, no prizes and no tournaments.
And on a related note, remember that they are giving prizes away for the DSDatabase Space Invaders Extreme tournament. Signups are still open until the 28th, so keep the entries coming! Chances to win seems pretty high since no one is joining just yet. 🙂 And obviously keep your eyes on DSDatabase as we put out new giveaways and blog posts constantly! 🙂
PS. My videos seem to suck again, so the original is here: http://dsdatabase.org/files/valentinesraffle.avi. It’s about 20MB, so if you want to watch 14 minutes of suspence, go for it. 🙂 If not, I do have a limited bandwidth, hint hint. 🙂
the video is unavailable, so can you post the winner?
Winner #1: gaboumafou@gmail.com
Winner #2: maikel.steneker@gmail.com

Congrats Maikel and gaboumafou! Welcome to Winners Club, haha

I just ordered a M3 GBA expansion to go with my M3DS Real. ^^
yay backup winner 2 lol
aw man i never win.
HEY guys i really wanted any of these carts, and being backup winner 2, does anyone wanna give it to me?
I’m sorry, but I really wanted one to “update” from my old R4… 🙁
Better luck next time…? 🙂
No! Oh well, I hope there are more
gratz every1! awww i wanted to see the video
I just noticed this today, I am backup winner #1 yet I never received a notice, was I? Good luck? Bad luck? I don’t know… I guess all I have left is my original R4.
Congratulation to those who won!
Ummmm you don’t get an email or anything unless you actually won something. So in your case, I’d give you an email when the winners don’t respond. Would it be preferable to message the backup winners as well?
Thanks anyway, I just got my hopes up for nothing. I guess I’ll save up when I buy a DSI.
I just received my M3. Thanks! 😀
Now, could somebody give me a good site for M3 Sakura themes? I don’t really like the default pink one…! 😛
I thought the official firmware was already bundled with a few, I remember there was a blue one that I used with iSakuReal that was pretty nice. 🙂
