I have bad news. I have just heard from Raiden and this years prize was stolen.
This is the second year since the pool started that the prize contents were stolen. Both times the packages were mailed from the east coast to the west coast around the holiday season.
It appears that someone opened the package from the bottom, stole the 3DS and PS3 game, put in a box of cookies and a bottle of lubricant to add weight, and resealed the package. When raiden opened his package he at first thought I had sent it to him as a joke. It's my belief this happened while in the hands of the postal service.
I did have $200 in insurance on the package. I will try to recover the cost of the 3DS. But it's likely the postal service will try to argue that the prize was stolen after the delivery.
In any case, Raiden did get his $75 gift card since I sent that electronically. But unless I get recovery from the postal service the 3DS is likely lost.
