Please think it over. That seems like an awful lot of suffering to endure for an upgrade. :)

How very lame.
Standard boiler plate language probably. Don't enter then. It's lame that they're doing the giveaway and all people can do is find fault with something, but then that's how everything goes around here. :roll:

I would be very happy with the contest, except for that one rule that says I can't enter. Beyond that, I don't care what the fine print says. Gimme free stuff! I also enjoy this forum, but not always what people are saying. I like Sweetwater, too. What's not to like. But I can't celebrate being shut out of the contest and so, I doth protest - "Yay, I can't win!"

P.S. That "everything" sounds so "always" and "never". I don't think you mean it that way, do you? [handing James a Life-Saver].

Sweetwater has the right to make their own rules, especially if they are creating a giveaway, it is to promote their company. I say it's good business. I don't see B&H Photo or Guitar Center or any other company stepping up to the plate to out class Sweetwater,... do any of you?

Go Sweetwater!

Ah, the bounty of nationalism. Can't wait till we stitch up this wounded world and find a way to share the prizes. But wait, there can only be one winner!

Stop me, any time. No please, I'm begging.

And of course, Sweetwater will own all rights, title, interest and copyrights on anything you compose using their equipment. All will be a work made for hire. LOL!
