Welcome to the WINTER HOLIDAY EDITION of the Gaming Promotional Grant! Users in good standing can receive one free game on behalf of Gaming Stack Exchange. What's the catch?
Simple - ask questions and post answers to questions about your new game; have fun while helping us create a wonderful database of information on our own site here for the new game. Here's how it works:
Users with at least 500 reputation are eligible to apply. Fill out a form specifying one game of your choice of new or upcoming games for the current big platforms. Up to 20 users will be selected from this pool randomly, and will be reimbursed for their purchase of the game by one of these methods:
- Scan and email your game receipt to us; we'll reimburse through PayPal
- Steam gift
- Ordered and mailed through Amazon.com (or appropriate national branch)
If you're selected, you'll receive simple instructions via email detailing all the information you'll have to provide to get reimbursed. Because of the gap between this round and the last, as well as the nature of the holiday season, we are not exempting winners from the most recent round (winners of this round will not be eligible for the following round, however).
"Big platforms" means XBox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC. What games are eligible? As a special holiday bonus, we're accepting any game coming out from this week up until the end of the month:
- December 04, 2011: PC, PS3, Xbox, Wii
- December 11, 2011: PC, PS3, Xbox, Wii
- December 18, 2011: PC, PS3, Xbox, Wii
- December 25, 2011: PC, PS3, Xbox, Wii
Any game released later than this should be selected in the next round. MetaCritic also has a general list of upcoming games, filterable by your preferred platform: PC, PS3, Xbox, Wii.
Applications are now closed.
This counts as the normal Gaming Promotional Grant type round, but there are still the special changes for the holiday season. Please note them, which I've bolded in the above for your convenience. ♪
Happy Holidays!
