I hope they start doing this on a regular basis with more stock, better cards, mice, keyboards, monitors, motherboards, processors, ram, hard drives, sound cards, everything that is on the current EvE Store...

Sweet...won't ever happen though.

I`m just curios if the cards are send from the Nvidia HQ wont EU people have problems with the voltage on those cards since EU has different electricity parameters then US? And why send them from US when i guess they have stores/eu representatives here?

the voltage is regulated by the power supply unit, and therefor the same.

+1 for shipping the cards from within the EU to EU "customers"

or at least, put a "it's a gift/prize" sticker on it

The link was presented as an adv. It took me more than a minute to load the page, fill in the info and hit on 'Confirm Purchase'. I'm getting old for this.

I believe that CCP and nVidia will repeat the offer some time soon™.

Edit: Btw most goods that are bought from CCP are shipped from US, so all you EU purchasers start saving for customs clearance.

CCP stated at Fanfest that they would be paying for customs, tax and shipping.

For those stating that this will be a legit way for RMTer's to "cash out", consider this:

1: One card per account.
2: Limit of 100 available.
3: If I had 20 accounts, I could theoretically purchase 20 cards. However, unless I had 20 post office boxes all of those cards would be shipped to the same address... making those 20 accounts a lovely target for CCP to investigate. Smile
4: If I were doing RMT why would I take a loss (the card is worth half the value of the PLEX spent on it) to do this.

Common sense. Love it, learn it, use it.
