[quote name='ctice44']I'm with the ideas of not mailing anything off. Gamers love to win and be rewarded fast. Codes are the way to go: PSN points, Wii/DS points, 360 points, XBox Live time, World of Warcraft time (for those that play Wow), Beta codes (for example: Uncharted 2 for a PS3 contest), even cheesy stuff like outfits (Halo armor in Fable 2 for those that don't have CE, LBP outfits, etc). Gamers will compete to get anything- even if they don't own that platform or game (some will just sell or pawn it off on a buddy)...they just feel good winning. That's why we all are gamers, right?[/QUOTE]
i have to disagree with the instant gratification thing. i think gamers don't mind getting stuff in the mail. Sure if you're talking Wii/PSN/XBL points no one minds getting them through e-mail, but more if it's a choice between some points and something more substantial like say 3000 Wii points vs controler cost aside i think the controler would be more appreciated.
I personally don't like Beta codes. in gmail has kinda ruined the idea of a beta. a beta is supposed to be a form of testing hotbed. now they're being treated like demos which is .. not good. I'm 80% sure this is the reason that demos are being treated like accessories (free with purchase , or win access to it with pre-order) ugh.
that aside while i disagree with the fundamentla theory behind it i agree that codes are apprecaited.
