Where do you see if the game is sold out?
I went to download Earthbound with my left over coins and it says Sorry in a greyed out button.

I'm on there now and Earthbound isn't even listed as an option.

I'm looking at it right now, and it's listed on the right, nine rows down.

However, when I click on it, it does say "Sold Out" at the top of the screen, which, considering it's a digital download, is total BS. Of course, the site does say they're experiencing heavy traffic again, so that may be a contributing factor. Perhaps someone should contact them and double check about the digital download availability.

AKA "We want your Earthbound monies, it's a $9.99 SNES game and not a $7.99 one, and we're slightly threatened by the number of people with coins who could potentially rob us of all that Earthbound profit."

They shouldn't have offered it as a reward then.

I remember when people were saying to hold off on downloading certain games, since there could be special downloads. Welp, that's very disappointing that I listened to that logic. No Earthbound for me!

That's what happens when you let other people make your decisions.

I didn't reach enough to get the posters. So, I'm splurging on digital games.

Super Punch-Out!!
Kid Icarus
Grill Off
Metroid 2

As for the elite reward, I'm not sure yet.

Got my MM Messenger Bag today. Image design came out better than I thought but I can't say I appreciate the glitter, which is going to get all over the place. I never really had intentions on using it as a bag so it'll probably just hang in the closet until the end of time.

Yeah, heard this was a bit flimsy, and not at all very practical. That's a shame. :(

RSG: Thanks for the update, I went and grabbed it!

My first bag came in too, second not shipped yet. I thought the material would be flimsy, but it is solid heavy canvas. Though no plans either of daily use, this bag has no problems of holding a few text books or game console on the go. I don't think an Atari 5200 or original Xbox will fit. :lol:

My apologies to anyone not getting a download game before the Platinum/Gold prizes. I really thought any Digital game were not in limited quantities! :?

Maybe the reason is that the site is bogged down busy. This emphasizes the point of getting your Platinum/Gold DRM game as soon as possible. I suspect toward the end of the month it will be very difficult to redeem for the prize. :idea:

Just finished redeeming coins for various Wii games. No emulated older systems that can easily be played on other consoles and PC. Just the games that utilize the Wii console coding. Four Email confirmations popped up, still have 480 coins to spend! I'll give the Platinum Prize to my daughter, hopefully she will decide soon before the rush hour at the end of the month.
