    Potentially easy 50 quid! and help HEXUS too!

    Ok, fancy £50 of vouchers from Amazon? Of course you do! All you have to do is take a few minutes to fill in a quick survey and you go into the draw where 20 lucky winners get the vouchers!

    So if you're a gamer, (or even if you're not), get clicking on this survey and keep your fingers crossed for a win!

    The vouchers enticed me! However when I went to start the survey, I chose the first option and got a message saying "Sorry, you're not in the selected group we are looking for".

    Gave it a go, I feel some answers to questions are missing. For example the LAN party questions have a follow up asking me to rate a lan from great to awful. If I have only answered I have heard of an event but not participated I can't really rate something I havent taken part in!

    This question:
    How did you like these events? Please indicate one answer for each event.

    Ok, so wierd thing just happened. I successfully filled out the survey. But on the last page I get this:

    Thank you very much for your participation! If you are one of the winners we will send you the £16.00 Amazon voucher to your email address soon!
    I thought the amazon gift voucher was for £50?

    Re: Potentially easy 50 quid! and help HEXUS too!

    How much more would you be willing to pay for a Quad Core PC to play Quad Core optimized games?

    Nothing
    GBP 1 - GBP 35
    GBP 36 - GBP 70
    GBP 70 - GBP 140
    GBP 140 and more

    Never knew you can get a quad core PC UNDER £140.....

    If you purchase a new CPU/Desktop/Notebook and a specific CPU/Desktop/Notebook is offered together with two FREE AAA Games (e.g. Starcraft). Would you be more likely to purchase that specific CPU/Desktop/Notebook?
    Starcraft is pretty much free it's so old..... hardly good value 8-)

    penultimate page:
    Do you want to participate in the lottery for a £50.00 Amazon Gift Certificate? Then indicate your name and email address below. If you win one of the lottery prizes, we need your contact data to send you the Amazon voucher. Thanks!

    If you don´t want to participate please leave the field blank and check the box below to end the survey.

    Please note: The transmission of your details serve exclusively for the delivery of the Amazon voucher. Only MediaTransfer AG Netresearch & Consulting is able to view the information transmitted by you. Thus, your data is treated in the strictest of confidence and is not passed on to any third parties.


    Final Page:
    £16 voucher, not £50


    something fishy.........

    Re: Potentially easy 50 quid! and help HEXUS too!

    As with everyone else, whats the £16 voucher thing all about ?

    Didn't seem like a particularly professional survey to me. Some of it seemed dated, and there were stange questions and options.

    Hmmm.

    I answered "no more than 4 hours" for the first question which asked how long I play games per week, then the next screen said that I wasn't one of the people they were looking to survey .

    Thought that was an odd question too, must be per month.

    Any info on who this questionnaire is for? Just out of interest...

    Re: Potentially easy 50 quid! and help HEXUS too!

    The £16 ending, the fact I couldn't backtrack the survey, even an option not to take part in the lottery, and lastly, some bias of the questions.
    A signature? Oh... Okay...
