Read the rules. Those 30 Wii systems aren't going to be easy to give away, considering Rule #3...

Eligibility. In order to be eligible, participants must be (i) at least the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence; (ii) a legal resident of the 50 United States, including Washington, D.C., or Canada, excluding the province of Quebec; and (iii) a registered Gaia account holder during the entirety of the Promotion Period. Employees of Sponsor and its parent and affiliate companies as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members of each such employee are not eligible.

"At least the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence" put simply means that US residents must be at least 18 years of age to win. sad
(I am not certain of the age of majority in any Canadian provinces)

And you can't get around this rule by quickly creating an account in Mom or Dad's name either...

"Participant must be a registered Gaia account holder during the entirety of the Promotion Period."

What this means is that any account created after 1 PM today (11/14/07) is not eligible to win.

Here's hoping that all of you under 18ers who are Wiiless and would like to win one have at least one parent who is already on Gaia!

Seems to me that this contest is grossly unfair to a whole lot of Gaians. Why couldn't they just award the prize in the name of a parent if the winner is a minor? That's what I've seen in a lot of other contests like this one. It would be a heck of a lot fairer.

Oh, well, if I win the Wii goes to gohan23567!
