Ok I have kept going past this and I have just been ignoring the fact that I only see 1,000,000 kills as opposed to our quotient of 100,000,000 kills. What the F? How come they have it 99,000,000 kills easier??? Also they get real life prizes?? I have a right mind to go slap the person responsible for Sonic team of Japans contests!!! Angry

Those prizes must have cost a bit but it seems like Login paid for most of them. Why dont they hold competitions like that over here!! -_-

Just a MAG phone strap would make me a happy chappy ^_^

The competitions are sponsored by the companies to promote themselves. Not necessairly done by ST. This means that the rules are up to the company as are the prizes. Since PSO doesn't have as a big following as the Japanese, what's the point of a Western magazine sponsoring a tournament? Sucky I know but that's how it works (right?).

Yup, thats how they all work. All the Episode III competitions were gaming magazine sponsered events, as is this (The Login Magazine), and as i said in my previous post, it seems that Login Magazine has scooped out for those expensive prizes!

Its a shame that PSO isn't near as popular as it is in Japan. Maybe if a U.K. magazine hyped it up enough it'd benefit both parties Tongue How about the Games TM Cup? NOM Challenge? Well i can dream!
