Jack:
I don’t know about this one, but the last contests we’ve had at least one overseas winner. (Belguim)
Try anyway, and if it is US only and you win.. give them my info

No age limit.
Although to give out your info online at any site, you should be 13+ or have your parents permission. But AFAIK, iLounge didn’t check any of that

How do I know when is PT (pacific time) and ET (eastern time)? I live in Thailand and it’s +7.0 GMT. So when is 5:00pm PT for me? Can anyone help?

Jill,
Yes, if you were a previous winner you can still take part.
hoho,
According to the Time Zone Converter 5.00PM PT is 7.00AM in Bangkok - so looks like an early rise for you!

So with the EarThumps, do we get one black one and one white one?
And why the age limit? I guess I’ll have to get my father to play for me…

Bob:
Have you double checked the age limit yet?
Also..
Would it be possible to play and if I win just have you ship the product to my father or something?

That is probably the way we will have to do it - for under 18’s if you win, get parent/guardian to email delivery details.

Alright, that works just as well. I’d have no problem getting my parents to do that.
Thanks Bob

Thanks.

CHAT LIVE NOW!
They’ve also said ETAs for the TuneCenter,
TuneCenter (regular) to launch in May
TuneCenter Pro to launch in mid-June
Their internet is messed up, so they are all sharing the same IRC nick, and also the replys are coming in really slow for some reason. Poor Jeremy
Doing a good job though.
