I'm not the person you're replying to, but I am Australian and can give my 2 cents, what the grey market sellers are selling them for here in Australia anyway. Hell, wouldn't mind paying a bit more than that too. I just want to buy it legit so I have all the warranty protections etc.
Yeah I know what you mean. They try really hard to emulate the pace and speeches/etc of other award shows, but those are the same things that make those award shows so boring and overly-long.
Yea, I typically also don't care much for their live performances, the orchestra and "funny commercial interruptions" not to mention endless Game Pass ads.
I'm going to watch it through Tamaryn Payne's stream. She's the actress of Lohse in DOS 2 and Mizora in BG3. With any luck she can make it entertaining.
I have a small TV above my desk where I usually keep the security cameras around the house displayed. It's perfect though for tracking nasty weather or watching things while I work.

Okay, that's doable, I guess most people have one already

Suuuuure. Who in their right mind would willingly go on X?
c) Click the ‘follow’ button to follow @thegameawards on X. [snip]
I figured, but without explanation and in the barebones context, it’s amusing, like Canadians have to earn the privilege for some reason. If other countries had a similar requirement it wouldn’t stand out, but it looks like you’re/they’re being singled out because of it.
Yep, all prizes need to be handled by Loto-Quebec or something of the sort, can't remember the details, but the skill test might be enough to bypass it 🤔
It never worked for me. If the store didn't tell me it was pushing updates and about to go live, then I could get through the first few clicks and then "something went wrong,"
So I backed off and waited a while. Then when I came back there was a queue system and I gave up.
Yeah, I tried entering 3 different game awards contests: OLED Steam Deck, Legion Go, and Super Mario world resort tickets.
The Legion Go and Super Mario World contests were glitchy but worked fine, but I could never get the steam deck one to work properly. Probably means they had a lot more people trying to enter the steam deck one than the two.
I mean, after refreshing a bunch of times because the "website is updating", you'll get there. I tried using a family member's European postal code and it worked, but I think it's only because it's identical to an US one. My Canadian zip code just immediately turned the field red.
