Win a NaturalPoint TrackIR at Joystick Required

Jump

We have been offered a great opportunity here at Joystick Required. NaturalPoint has offered a TrackIR unit to the winner of our November contest. This is a great opportunity to get one of these cool units into the hands of a Jumpgate player so we can all see how it changes the gaming experience in Jumpgate and soon(tm) Jumpgate Evolution.

You can see what TrackIR is all about by visiting the product page here TrackIR 4:PRO - Premium head tracking view control immersion for flight racing and action simulator

Here is a list of videos TrackIR : videos of TrackIR in Action!

The unit can only ship to a US Resident.

The winner will be required to actually play Jumpgate with the TrackIR device for at least one hour. Preferably longer as it may take time to adapt to the new experience.
After testing the device in Jumpgate the winner will submit a written review of the units performance in Jumpgate. If you need editorial help then feel free to ask.
The above review will be the exclusive right of Joystick Required and the winner will submit no other reviews on any other website or entities for at least 30 days after the review is posted here.

Regarding #4, how many replies for a post to count as a discussion, and why no additional points for starting discussions that get X replies...

i.e. Some discussions are better content than others.

Jump

You mean Points Rule # 4. Replies don't count since people may not reply if they think it will help you and they are also hoping to win.

Boo on the US only resident but... can I lie ?

So if you start a thread and no one replies it's still considered starting a discussion, and starting a thread that turns into a lively debate with over 300 replies is equal in the eyes of this contest?

Jump

Those are the rules G. No one is forcing you to participate. Posts and threads made in an obvious attempt to pad the results are going to be deleted.

Sorry Vorlon, but that is not in my control. I can't turn down a great opportunity because of some restrictions.

GrimGriz

Just getting clarity, the word discussion can be misinterpreted.

Jump

Based on the last contest I think discussions will flow fine. Though with the value of the prize I do anticipate trouble this time.

I changed it to thread.

Absolutely fair doo's

For those who wanna try the competition that dont live in the US, why can't someone like Jump actually receive it and be Paypalled to ship it onwards to the winner.

Not that I am interested in forum posting competitions, but there sure can be a lot of Oversea Residents that got as far as point 1 and probably spouted out blasphemy, hehe.

I can't imagine there being an issue with the JSR community to get someone to take delivery and post it to someone not based in the US.
I'll not be participating as I feel the chances of me not rubbing up at least 90% of said community the wrong way in 150 posts are slim to none.
