  • this lady is smokin hot!

  • There's a new video response by newegg. All the winners are listed in the video.

  • weren't they supposed to announce the winners today?

  • supposed to, just waitin....

  • Newegg posted another video response about how and when the winners will be chosen. View all of the video responses and look for "Newegg Blog, Nov 20, 09_Video Contest Update & Canada Anniversary."

  • Have you already chosen winners? Not saying that I should have won anything, just haven't heard anyone talking about it or seen the winning video posted anywhere.

  • the follow up video said 2 weeks from the 20th.. which would be this friday the 4th.

  • i know this is off topic but once again newegg thx for saving me so much money this black friday!!

  • So like, I wasn't gonna leave a comment. But uh, it's been 3 weeks now. And we're still not on that video response list. So yea.

    Should I it try again or something?

  • Yes please! I checked out the vids on your channel just now, neither of them showed up in the video response mailbox :(. Please try again and great job!

  • Newegg... What about us who worked extremely hard, working on our videos for long hours to get them in on time?

    How are you accepting more after the deadline? This is very unfair.

  • No worries FrPSh, no videos will be accepted if they did not meet the posted deadline and guidelines. We are just making sure no vids slip through the cracks since there seems to have been some issues with the response posts. Rest assured all will be taken in consideration and there will be plenty of prizes to go around! Thanks again for entering and good luck!!

  • OK that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

    :)

  • i uploaded a video response before the deadline but...its still not there

  • Hey there! Your vid was approved and posted already :))) You are GTG! Very funny by the way hehe :)))

  • I posted a second video on the 15th. I did not like the quality of my first one so I created a second one :/ not sure if you guys received it though

  • thanks for the quick reply btw!

  • Newegg, I'm writing from the great white north to ask if my video made the cut. I followed the rules carefully. I submitted on time. I have not slept, ate, blinked or used the bathroom as I hold a candle light vigil at my computer waiting for it to be posted. Please don't let the hope die. DON'T LET IT DIE!

  • Noooo! This is a great vid! I wonder why some of the responses did not come through :\ Grrrr. Please try again. I have you down though now so no worries the hope is very much ALIVE!!! :))))

  • do you think they will still announce the winners on nov. 20th like it says in the official rules?

  • yeah, sad day i think a lot of entries (including my own) have been delayed being accepted, newegg will pull throught though! They always do!

  • Thanks dylanstout123, btw, loved your vid!!!

  • I submitted a movie last week thursday or friday, why isnt it even listed in the video responses here?

  • Hey Newegg.

    I was just reading the official rules and saw this "submit a Qualifying Video with a completed online entry form". Is there actually a online entry form or was that left in there from the last newegg challenge official rules document?

    Hopefully it was just accidently left in because i couldnt find the form anywhere :S can you post a link to the entry form if it exists?

  • I didn't see a form either... just directions to video response here or do an upload.

  • No No form required, posting as response is all you need to do :) Thanks MichalW182!!

  • All the entries are really great. Hope ours makes it in on time. We submitted at about 11:30PM on the 15th as a video response and through Newegg! Haha!

    Well, good luck to everyone.

  • Yes, you are all good :) Thanks for entering!!!

  • Hey Newegg! Just posted my second entry :)

    It was the one I had originally planned on entering. I had time to finish my new PC build thanks to the deadline extension, so here it is :)

    Thanks

  • I just want to wish everyone the best of luck. I enjoyed watching everyone's entry.

  • Our group posted a video on October 20 and it hasn't shown up on the site :( We decided to give it one last shot and post it as a video response. Hope this works! *crosses fingers*

  • Hey there Skewerblue, did you post as a response? Please check if it is in the approved vids and let me know. I have now gone through all of them. Thanks for playing!!! :)

  • yes it is in the approved videos! thanks a bunch :D!

  • Comment removed

  • Yay! Just got mine in on time! Was up all nite for this one!

  • Comment removed

  • I posted mine on the 11th I believe. I have yet to see it, and I'm getting a little worried.

  • Newegg, I'm concerned I do not see my video in the video responses. I submitted mine before the original deadline. I own the rights to everything in the video including the music so there's no reason is should not be accepted. I resubmitted it again. Please let me know whats going on with this. Thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • Trying to re-post my video response. If my video isn't on the list to post, that means it was submitted successfully, right?

  • Just wanted to update you before its too late. My video has been submitted. Thanks newegg! Much loveee

  • yeah, all the other videos that were submitted after me have been accepted. But mine hasn't for some reason :( I submitted it as a response and everything. I hope it gets accepted soon, entries end in 2 days :( :( :(

  • I'm still waiting for approval...hopefully you can get all the submissions in

  • hey newegg I posted my video as a response. Thanks!

  • oh sweet it's up now. thanks newegg was checking daily to see what's up. I hope I win something :3

  • originally left you a video response almost two weeks ago, it has failed to show up here, so I re-submitted my entry into your video responses again. Thanks!

  • Hey there BargainHunting101!! Sorry been swamped. Just reviewed and approved your vid. Thought it was really cool btw!!! Thanks for entering!

  • I posted a comment here and newegg responded after a few days.

  • You guys may need to try resubmitting as a video response. I submitted mine and after a week it still hadn't shown up. Newegg responded saying they weren't seeing my video as a posted response. I reposted and it was up a few days later.

  • how'd you contact them? It doesn't seem like they are replying on this page

  • yeah still awaiting approval :(

  • maybe you guys didn't get your videos approved?

  • well if the was the case we at least would of been able to post the video response, but that's the thing it never showed our video on the posting video selection!! is too weird

  • I posted my video like a week ago and it still isn't up!?!?!?!?!?

  • I can't find my video on the video response when i go to add it? I really need to know why its not showing up, all my videos show up from my channel but not the one from newegg its so weird!!

  • me too! i tried posting up my video up first as a video response and it didnt show up so i tried redoing it but its not showing up!

  • yeah it sucks!! like i don't know and there's no number to call! and newegg has not answered anything since last week!!

  • In case you didn't hear, Newegg extended the contest deadline to Nov. 15th.

  • where'd ya read this?

  • Comment removed

  • It's on the main contest page.

  • no way cool!

  • I assure you all, if you submitted your video on or before October 31st, even if it was close, your video will get up. I know you don't have to worry.

  • Agreed, Newegg is very cool about stuff like this

  • ...or maybe they're discussing how to work out the kinks with the rating sabotaging? different way of judging the videos possibly?

    lol I just wanna get my video approved and watched. I did not spend sleepless nights on this contest for nothing!

  • i hope so, i worked also my friend, they seem to have their 'quiet times' so they're probably busy

  • The actual video that will win is determined by the newegg staff, not the users of youtube. The youtube vote will win you the popular vote prize, which is not the $5000 prize, which people seem to misread. It's still a little ridiculous that people don't vote properly for the effort put in the video. I've chosen not to vote at all, being that I'm in the contest I'm respectful enough to no try to enhance my chances of winning by bias voting to blam everyone elses' videos.

  • agree

  • Not to mention that you could just tell all your friends from school (or work or subscribers...) to vote for your video. ;)....Though I'm pretty sure newegg took into account this phenomenon, so if you have a lot of friends in school, there's nothing stopping you from telling them to vote.

    I like newegg, so I'm happy with letting them decide who should win the contest and I'm happy with letting people other than all my friends watch and vote on my video. i had a lot of fun making it :D

  • I posted mine as a response on Wednesday as well- way before the due date D: I will be very sad if you guys don't acept it because I put a lot of work into making it !

    -- not just my response too... There are lots that were put in on time ):

  • yeah but technically some of us should have and probably should be taken note of, i have uploaded my video directly as a response on oct.30 so it should be there its just not accepted as a response. hopefully they dont go on without caring for us

  • lol maybe none of our videos got approved XD

  • Hoping for the same. Uploaded and submitted my video on Friday morning 0100 EST, still not accepted. The fine print says: "Please allow 2-3 day for processing." I'm assuming that's business days. If it isn't accepted by Tuesday, I think that's when we have a real issue.

  • True, but I uploaded mine on Wednesday, so I'm surprised it wasn't up.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the contest for "What you would do with the money you saved by shopping at Newegg" video's? Alot of these video's are just like hey Newegg is cool they have good shipping. Maybe I just misread something.....

  • Yeah it's supposed to be exactly like you said. But when money comes in as a factor people may try their hardest to win and end up with something totally different as the end-product.

    Misinterpretation also happens a lot =P

  • No, you're right, a lot of people didn't read the contest rules.

  • i uploaded and posted a vid response yesterday(oct 31,2009) at 3pm PT

  • In the same boat here, hope it works out.

  • I'm sure all of you who submitted a response before the deadline will get your video up, and don't worry, I'm in the same boat!

    I'm it just takes a while for them to moderate this stuff, have a little faith, it should be approved sometime next week. I'm sure Newegg will comment with something similar real soon!

  • Yeah, I uploaded and posted my video as a response on October 28 and it hasn't appeared yet in the responses...

  • yeah add my name to the list of pending videos

  • Massively last minute submission... Uploaded before the deadline but "processed" after... I hope that counts... If you want to see it, search for "Newegg Challenge - Evil Robot"... It's Blender CG, so maybe that will turn some heads... :P

  • Saying what has already been said, but my video was posted as a response on the 29th... And it isn't up yet. D : just wanted to add to he list of "my video isn't up yet! D: ". Comments. Lol.

  • Last minute video response ftw!

    Please check out and approve my video!

    :3

  • I know that there are already comments on this topic; however, I posted a video as a response earlier today (approximately 4:00pm) and it is up on YouTube but it is not showing it as a response to the Newegg competition.

    I want to make sure that I am considered for the competition because I submitted hours before the deadline.

  • They are probably getting a lot of responses right now (last minute ftw!) and it's taking some time to put them up/accept them

  • who says is last minute!!!! stop being stupid!!! thats why they have a deadline!!!

  • Hey i also posted my video but i didn't work! my video has been up since October 30! please help me

  • I posted my response up! I hope it's not too late!

  • Hey Newegg, just wondering if you ever got our video? we posted it as a response but it hasn't shown up yet.

  • tried to post my video as a response, but it didn't seem to work. I think i tried to do it before it loaded and it failed.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, did you ever get my video?

  • yo nice video

  • Wow, the entries for this contest are very impressive. Good luck to everybody!

    (I'm still waiting for Newegg to accept the video response I posted.)

  • stil lwaiting for them to accept mine aswell. I think yours is pretty AWESOME (lol) though.

  • Yeah, I agree, some really good videos so far! Yours was really good, it made me laugh. Good job!

  • I loved the RAM part, and your voice effects, good stuff! I think this is one of my personal favorite competing entries of all the ones I've seen so far!

  • Hey Newegg! What's with posting fxscreamer's video on your facebook page? Now he has over 2,000 views, more than anybody else, when he just had a few hundred before. If you're counting views, he just won! How did his video get chosen to be put up on your facebook page? Please check into this...

    Thanks.

    Frank

  • What if I submitted a vid on Oct 30 but Newegg didn't accept the response vid 'til Nov 3? will My entry still be in the contest?

  • I'm pretty sure you can submit untill oct 31st.

    I'd try to finish & submit asap though :o!

  • Let say: A video contestant has 20 friends and they comments/rate 5 stars. That 20 friends can comments/rate 1 star for the rest of the other contestant. I think just newegg employees should vote.

  • so how long is voting going to go on for until a winner is decided?

  • I think the audience award should go for the non-student. Thats the only way we can win. Go NEWEGG Baby! :-D

  • Read the rules.

  • Don't understand?

  • Cool contest. :)

  • I had the same thing happen to me. My ratings more than doubled and my video went from a 5 to a 3 star. I wonder how they'll even determine the Idol prize. I mean, if they go by views then the oldest videos are more favored, and if they go by ratings then the highest rated video may just be the one with the most friends rating it 5 stars and the other videos 1. Hard to say. I believe in Newegg though, I know they'll pick wisely. I BELIEVE!!!

  • I agree. It's a shame how much sabotaging there is obviously going on.

  • These are all valid points guys. It's the first time we're trying a vote based award so to be honest I didn't think about sabotage as an option when making up the contest... hmmm I thought about narrowing down the selection of votable vids by nomination but then that sounds unfair too... for now I am keeping tabs on scores as they change, comments etc. I remain positive things will fall in place. Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks for your support! -L

  • Maybe count up all the views (and/or ratings) in a certain period of time for each video; i.e. for X number of days after each was first submitted, or after each was first accepted.

    You guys don't need to decide until Nov 20-something, right? So even if somebody puts in their video on the last day (Oct. 31st), you can still wait X number of days to see how many play counts it gets to match it up with the others.

  • That way the vids that were put in earlier will be placed on the same level with those put in afterwards.

  • That sounds good.

    But I'd like to know from the mouths/keyboards of newegg how this is going to work. Just for some clarification.

  • Doesn't a 5 star rating = 5 votes? So by down-rating others, they are giving that vid an extra view, right? Hopefully that will deter the "1 star raters..."

  • why can't newyork be part of this. QQ

    it almost makes me want to go out of state.

  • Comment removed

  • I think it is really nice how everyone rates each other's well-done videos a "1 Star" just because that doing so will "sabotage the other contestants." Really cool...

  • yes i have noticed this coolkidpros and yeah i agree. really cool...

  • My video actually had 15 or so ratings and it was sitting at 5 for all of them. Then when it was shown in the contest it went down to a 3.5 =\

  • Yep, I hear you. Kinda unfortunate.

  • Kinda funny really... and kinda sad if true as that means some people don't have enough confidence in their own work they have to bring down other peoples'... but I think as more people vote it should even out. Get your freinds to vote, share share share! And remember, there are 19 more prizes in addition to the audience vote :) So don't worry, be happy and hang in there!! Thank you all for entering :)

  • Everyone should have a good attitude. Yes, it is a competition but it should still remain friendly. The competitive aspect should come in the work you submit. Plus, there have already been a ton of great videos so newegg is still going to have a hard time picking the winner -

  • just because its on here doesn't mean it meets the contest rules. some people will find out after there disqualified. its really stupid but its the way newegg is doing it. i got permission to use mine so its ok for me.

  • I really wish we could have this on FL ;( i was so sad to hear FL can't enter becuase of our laws here ;(

  • i really hope mine gets on here soon. Thanks newegg, we know you are working hard:)

  • I don't see mine either. As stated previously, It's probably just a matter of time.

  • Did you even get my video? Please, please let me know if I need to resubmit it.

  • Hey there! no worries, we have allotted for the time mishaps due to file conversions. we got your video and it should post tomorrow. :) Thanks for playing!!

  • Thanks so much guys!

  • Hey Newegg! I just realized that youtube says my video's length is 1:01. The actual length is exactly 1:00. I think they added like a second of black at the end of the video. Can you please accept mine? The actual file was exactly 1 minute long.

    Thanks,

    Frank

  • Let's give them the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure we'll hear from Newegg soon.

  • Maybe they had over 1000 submissions, therefore, they won't submit are videos. It's in the rules.

  • I doubt it. There are only 23 video responses to this message as of now.

  • Yeah, I posted my video last Friday, and it still hasn't been approved. It's all copy-right free, good to go!

  • Hello rbradley780, your video has been approved and will be posted on the site shortly :))) Thanks for followign up!

  • Newegg! I submitted my video about 5 days ago now, and it has not been put up as a response here yet. There is absolutely no copyrighted music in it, all the images I drew myself, and my video is under a minute. I really want to get it on here so I can send the link to my friends! Thanks,

    Frank

  • I Submitted a video and it too isn't showing up. Does it have to be reviewed by Newegg first???

  • Yeah, I think so. They haven't shown any activity on here since last thursday or friday...

  • I submitted a video response as well, check it out. I spent a lot of time on it!

  • My video is submitted.. :( I don't see it.

  • Heya Newegg! Just posted my video as a response to yours, this is exciting lol :D

  • I tried to post my video but I do not see it as part of the competition. Just wondering what the deal is? Thanks in advance.

  • I think they need to approve the videos before it is displayed on this profile. Mine isn't up either, just keep waiting.

  • I just entered my video!  Thanks for the idea, newegg. LOL

  • Damn she's pretty.

  • haha very true

  • Would it be safe to say that since my video is 1:25, I'm not in the running and need to make it shorter?

  • it has to be 30-60sec

  • se le ve bien cachondaaa!!

  • Can you please accept my video? I uploaded it yesterday, and I see that there is already at least one video here that was submitted after mine. It would be really awesome if you could put it up here!

    Thanks so much,

    Frank

  • Newegg! I tried posting my video as a response. Do you have to accept it first?

  • Approved! :)

  • So i know we need proof of permission to use music and other things so are we allowed to use the newegg logo in a sketch or model? If you can't answer this, can you give me an Email that will?

  • P.S. Do we need to keep the TM (Trademark) in the sketch/ model? i would assume so but im making sure.

  • there's a rules.pdf file on their main site.

  • this is just a cheap way for them to get a commercial for much less than making it themselves, read the rules. and past contest results. time is better spent getting paid money you know you'll get

  • Maybe, but whose gonna hire a nobody? Its a contest man chill out.

  • do we need to fill out any entry forms or just post a video response to enter the contest?

  • No, just post a video response to this vid. Just make sure you keep your vid up so we can get a hold of you through your account. Cheers DistantCity!

  • I want to know can I put newegg site on my contest video by Print screen, paste it on paint shop and editing it? We have a great idea but would be best, if we could edit the shopping cart using windows paint shop.

  • Yes you can as long as it still looks like Newegg :)

  • Comment removed

  • Can I submit my entry both on YouTube and on the Newegg site?

  • YouTube is preferred. That way you can also send the link to freinds to view etc. Either is fine though.

  • what a sexy girl!

  • the first part was really informative.. the 2nd part was really entertaining

    5 stars :]

  • thanks drjedo ;)

  • i liked watching the old guy on the tv in background

  • awe, sorry, but the titles are so much more informative ;)

  • lol, wow she's really gorgeous...

  • Sarcasm is not nice dude.

  • who's being sarcastic you twat

  • Wow you're cool. Learn to read a joke. I was saying that her being gorgeous is a sarcastic joke.

  • aww i posted a video response but its not showing up :(

  • Ahh sucks its only for college students.

  • i'd buy a ring, then flight ticket to boston, find you and then propose. only to get rejected, so I will cry then become very gay. thank you new egg

  • ok ok I got it! jeez 0:50
