    So they're giving away exactly three graphics cards...way to make a big deal out of it!
    Very nice compo nonetheless.I was wondering if it's limited to residents of the UK only?

    Let’s jet out, we’ll cruise at hyperspeed I got the beat, I got the beat and that’s all we need...

    Just think you could mount various weapons on the Dune Buggy, pretend it's a form of Light Strike Vehicle or something and buzz around London making "Budda-budda!" noises at Traffic Wardens. At least, I would...

    I've said too much.

    Ahh a dune buggy would be awesome to use for communting to and from work here in the Fens; the roads are AWFUL!

    Still, the comp for winning a GTX280 is very nice Only problem is the question they ask Is it specific to the XFX card or to the reference design?

    P.S. I would mount a massive super soaker and do drive-bys during summer

    does the dune buggy come with a driver's license?

    Looks like a con to me. Shame on you Hexus for marketing bulls**t.

    The page clearly states that you need to purchase a PhysX product to enter.

    Looks like a scam to get your telephone no and email address even if you don't buy a product.

    SCAN already have my number and email addy from when I order from them.

    GTX280 comp is free, Dune buggy comp requires purchase.
