Don't care much for RE5... but i7 would be nice assuming one already has a board.

 

[deathmustard]

I have RE5 and a core i7 920. But hey i will enter anyway. mabey it will be a 975 😛

 

[JasonAkkerman]

I can't resist entering. I just hope I don't get too much spam from this.

 

[the_krasno]

I decided that from now on I won't click anything on Tom's that has the word "contest" in it.
It's as if they like crushing the dreams of non US readers! =(

 

[mlcloud]

Lots of contests.

 

[olcayertas]

Another US only contest. i hate this "US only" things. is it really hard to deliver prizes to another country?

 

[elasticman]

and again...only for US readers.
annoying as HELL
let all of us enter.

 

[DXRick]

Chance to win: miniscule
Chance to receive lots of SPAM: 100%

Nah.

 

[Regulas]

From the looks of the game ports graphics I bet a old P4 could handle it.

 

[truehighroller]

Thank you Tom's.

Unfortunately, yes.

 

[f16boiler]

I'm no CPA, but I would think there would be tax implications to these contests that would make allowing non-US citizens a pain.

Just a processor? So then i'd have to buy a new motherboard and some memory? Hmm...

Sell the processor on eBay. Play the game. Win-win.

 

[Kelavarus]

Sell the processor.

...

Sell the game too.

Sadly, I fit all those but a driver's license. DAMMIT. 2 weeks, 2 weeks...

It's not hard to deliver it, but there are legal issues involved with running competitions in other countries as well. There's red tape to get through, and most sites don't consider it worth the effort. Anyone remember the PNY 3D Mark Vantage contest? They didn't have to do anything but email you a code, but it was still a North America-only contest (although you could get around that since they didn't require proof of identity).

No. Usually console ports are terrible and require much much more out of a PC than it should. So much higher than that.

on weekends only ads news!

I'm In CANADA!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[city_zen]

Great! Another contest restricted to just 36.6% of Tom's readership (remember?)
OK, since we're seeing a seemingly unavoidable trend here (Tom's contests being restricted to residents of the US of A), you could at least state in the article's title:"(US only)", as a courtesy to the majority of your readers.

P.S.: I just hope that the winner lives in the deep North of Alaska so they have a hell of a time delivering it

 

[steiner666]

yay RE5 and a cpu that could probably run a dozen simultaneous instances of it.

 

[Guest]

I can do nothing with resident Evil, but sell it.
I can do about the same with a CPU, unless I'd magically cough up money to buy a mobo somewhere that supports a corei7 processor.
If I win it, I'll buy the stuff for the i7; otherwise I'll save up for an Atom netbook!
