 I guess this way last place is more appealing.

Because it was easy to sign up.  Just go on with your life and don't think about it and you won't have a problem.  One day, maybe they'll call you out of the blue and it'll be a nice surprise.  If not, you wasted 30 seconds of your life.

Their prize list is all jacked up. Even the official rules list the prizes in the wrong order.

Id want a year of LIVE free rather than a baseball cap.

On another note, that was probably the least painless internet sweepstakes I've ever entered. I bet I'll get a ton of Rockstar emails even though i didn't check the boxes.

People getting pissed about the prize list being in disorder biggrin.gif
It's not like they'll call you and say something like: "You won! Which prize do you want? Do you want the first prize or the last?"

Its gonna cost me about 10 dollars to go retrieve this package assuming I win. It's like 6 or 7 bucks at the border and then 2 dollars to pick the package up at the location I specified as "my address".

If they're giving away a 70 dollar Live! subscription, 10 bucks is whats setting them off? And they don't they have offices or what have you in Canada?

Oh but I forgot, it must cost alot of money to send packages from that far off other galaxy of the United States.

Seriously its not even 30 miles.
