    So, I think Owen really dropped the bomb on this one. I believe step 2 is supposed to read like this:

    "Post a comment on this thread ( [www.brutallegend.net] ) on the official Brutal Legend.(typo, probably supposed to read "on the official Brutal Legend fansite") Note: You'll have to register a free acount (false). That's how they'll find you." (again, false, you just leave some contact information behind).

    I don't think Kotaku was given a statue to give away, and that guy at BrutalLegend.net is running the names through a randomizer himself to pick the winner, not having EA do it for him.

    Also, Owen probably meant to link here

    [www.brutallegend.net]

    as well, at the bottom of his post.

    So no, to everyone who is confused, you do not comment here, at Kotaku, to be entered into this contest.

    In reply to Gold Cartridge Buyer Recreating Nintendo Championships Today
    Nice that this got a mention. I sent an email to Brian about the tournament a while back, considering he's in Denver, too.

    JJ Games is a great reseller. Prompt service, they're with the Better Business Bureau, and their prices tend to be cheaper than most other resellers. They don't have the extended stock that some others do, but it's a good company and I've always been pleased with the games I've ordered.

    Anyways, it's really cool to see them doing something like this, giving back to the retro community. Unlike a lot of other resellers that just swap carts around for money and really don't care about the community.

    I'm getting so sick of these excuses pirates keep using to justify their actions.
    Excuses like "I'm staging a tournament" and "the cartridge is priceless!". If this guy had any morals at all, he'd do what's clearly right and buy a copy [of said priceless cartridge] for each console.

    @2c-b:

    You want him to go bankrupt before he can even stage the tournament? ONE cartridge cost him 17,000 dollars...that multiply by five (if he can even find five more) is WAY to freaking much and since the 'College' competion cartridges are not in circulation from what he mention, how the heck is he able to even find one?

    I am glad he is trying something for people to enjoy and be able to win prices even if he is basicly making 'replicas' of the special cartridges...if the cartridges were able to be found easily and fair price then yeah it would be better to buy them. In this case when is hard to get even one, how do you expect him to pull that off?

    @Beld: Glad someone actually got it. I thought I was being really blatant, but I guess these kinds of messages don't convey well over the internet.

    Sorry to the rest for all the confusion that was caused. I was having a dig at the hard-line anti-piracy folk who don't think any legitimate use of "pirate copies" exists. I thought that the statements about buying multiple "priceless" copies made it painfully obvious I was joking, and I didn't want to use the "/sarcasm" tag for fear of making it too apparent In retrospect though, that seems like the exact thing I should have done.

    @2c-b: wtf are you talkiing about? Did you even read the article? He said he had reproductions made after copying the roms from the original cartridge. "Hendricks had duplicate carts worked up off of both games' ROMs." I couldn't imagine this would be very hard. Athough i think it would be ridiculously expensive.l

    @FrancisEdwood: This is a very valid point, and it was one that was on my mind at the time of posting. I guess the obvious answer is this: how is one person copying their (expensive rare) game for many others to play any different to a pirate copying a game and distributing it via the internet for others to play?
