Congratulations to thespamofpower, our grand prize winner of the $1,000 Play-Asia shopping spree! Play-Asia will be contacting you soon!

Here are some of the runner-up prize winners. I can't post the full list as not everyone's paypal email matches up with their CAG account (or perhaps they don't all have CAG accounts). I don't want to post their real names or email addresses. All winners have been notified via email.

 Kayday - 1 Year Xbox Live
briansraregames - Disgaea 1 + Disgaea 2 (the NIS preorder w/ all the artbooks, etc, sealed)
bone_matrix - Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence Limited Edition
HuBu - F12CE + LE guide

--------------------------------------------------

I want to congratulate the CAG community on this awesome achievement. I never would have guessed we would have smashed our goal and topped $10,000. I am really so proud of all you who contributed.

A big thanks to Play-Asia.com who were so easy to work with!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the help of Play-Asia.com, I am pleased to announce this year's Child's Play Charity fundraiser. A $5 donation will purchase an entry into a raffle for a chance at winning the grand prize, a $1,000 credit to Play-Asia's online store.

Raffle entries are sold through PayPal and there is no limit to the number of entries one may purchase. A single winner will be chosen at random and obviously, the more entries one purchases, the greater their odds of winning. 100% of the money raised will go directly to Child's Play. We are even covering the PayPal fees.

On December 19 at 12:01AM PST, no more entries will be accepted and the winner will be announced soon after.

UPDATE: Thanks to the CAG community, we have some additional prizes for 8 runner ups. marten is donating prizes #1-6, Wolve22 is donating prizes #7 & 8, kjauburn is donating #9 & 10, youruglyclone #11

About the Child's Play Charity
 
[quote name='dude2003']so sending cash here=sending cash to child's play? like how we did it through amazon last year?[/quote]
Yes, but now you get entered into a raffle to win a $1,000 Play-Asia credit. The more raffles you buy, the better your chance of winning.

This year we are using PayPal because Amazon was a pain in the ass when it comes to collecting over $500 or so.
 
It's definitely towards a good cause, so I'll see if I can scrounge up any money regardless (have to pay rent though :p). However, I was wondering if anybody could tell me whether http://www.play-asia.com is a sitethat offers only Japanes games/ systems, or US games/ systems? I like RPGs and my Japanese is a little rusty :p

They are primarily Japanese games but they do offer some US things as well.

Very awesome site, I've used them more times than I can count.
 
Fantastic idea, The only thing I wish was that you could see how much we raised so far (Or how much we have put into this raffle).
I'll definitely send 10 bucks your way tomorrow.
 
[quote name='Ikohn4ever']you should have 2 500 dollar prizes instead of one thousand, it would double everyones odds of winning[/QUOTE]

I think so too.

Either way, I'm entering. It's a great cause.
 
Tag to remind myself to do this.

I agree with Ikohn btw (2 $500 instead of 1 $1000) but it isn't a big deal at all and it's probably to late to change.

Hell, even 4 $250's is still a shitload to spend there.

yeah I mean the more prizes the more likely people will enter.

Plus I don't think the average CAG is very big on import gaming so giving one person $1,000 might be a little excessive.

With a smaller number at least they can get region free 360 games or something and not be left with a ton of money and not know what to spend it on.

But hey, if someone wins the $1,000 and wants to sell me import games for cheap let me know ;)
 
[quote name='nogard']Hope we can raise more than last year. Entered.[/quote]
That's an excellent question, how much was raised last year?

TBW

PS For Cheapy - if we were to donate a significant amount of money, is there some receipt that we can get to use for our taxes for the donation? I know that I can get the same thing by donating directly to the charity, but if things work out correctly, I'd like to throw my money in with other CAG's.
 
[quote name='Roufuss']Hell, even 4 $250's is still a shitload to spend there.[/QUOTE]Agreed. $1000 at Play-Asia is pretty overwhelming :)

Can't send anything now, but posted to remind me more into December.
 
Just bought 2. & i'll Probably buy more later. Great cause, good luck everyone. let's raise as much as we can!
 
There shud be like a "Amount raised" meter or something. If I remember my paypal's password I'll probably enter.
