It seems THQ read our latest post about its lack of publicizing Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command because it's now actually starting to do its job as a publisher. On its website, THQ is holding a contest to give gamers the chance to win a very limited supply of Warhammer 40K themed PSPs.You see, this is the kind of thing it probably should have been doing during the weeks leading up to its release, but we have to give them props for at least getting its act together before it's too late. That's something that can't be said for Sega and its horrible job at pushing Crush.
For a chance to win one of these awesome PSPs, copies of the game and t-shirts, you must be a registered myTHQ member and go here to answer a "fiendishly difficult" trivia question about the game.

Someone either needs to read the fine print, or clarify why this is posted here. According to the web site, only UK residents are able to enter this. And there is only ONE according to the rules to win.
Can someone clarify this?

@Gator: what you saw is correct. UK residents only. Outside entries will be discarded. More great blogging from these wannabe writers. Thanks for wasting our time after wasting yours posting this, Powell.

With an attitude like that Arsonist, I hope you were extremely excited and hopeful to be the recipient of a Warhammer PSP only to get your little heart crushed by the realization that you'll never own one.

Common Arsonist18 , its not that a big mistake ... seriously , this is just a poor trial to get some game sales from THQ , and one modded PSP wont help IMO ...

Chris,
How can you justify a childish retort like that when it was YOU who did not show responsibility in telling us it was for UK only? Can it be that YOU didn't even read the terms and conditions of the contest? I believe this is the case.
And for you to make such a post after saying "It seems THQ read our latest post about its lack of publicizing Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command because it's now actually starting to do its job as a publisher"... well... that is a true sign of a hypocrite.
How can you expect us to take you seriously? Is it that PSP Fanboy can no longer be credible in it's posts?
Yes, I AM shattered that I don't have a chance at something YOU lead us to believe we could enter. It was a complete waste of my time, having to register for a site that does not allow me to enter in their contest, yet forced me to enter information just to find that fact out. WHY am I shattered? Well, I spend my time in chemo, trying to survive Stage IV Cancer, and playing PSP in my final days, and this was something I was hoping to actually have a chance at.
Thanks, as he said, for wasting our time.. and then showing us your true maturity level. I don't know, but I think it is time for another PSP site to start up... one with thicker skin when they screw up. I noticed you still didn't edit the blog to reflect that it is not open to everyone. I guess this is what you consider doing your job as a publisher.. .right?

Yah, seriously Chris, your comment was out of line. You posted information that omitted pretty important facts. I, too, foolishly went half way through registration before noting that the site was UK. While Arsonist18 could have been somewhat more diplomatic, you really dropped the ball with your defensive response.
