LIMITED TIME PROMOTION!!!
YOU COULD POSSIBLY WIN A NEW SUPER NINTENDO
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM CLASSIC EDITION

IF YOU DONATE TO SUPPORT S4GRU
 

 

The Goal
 
The goal is to have some fun and raise some money to support S4GRU.  This item is donated by an anonymous member, brand new in the box.  Unlike previous promotions, 100% of the donations will go to fund S4GRU! 


The Plan
 
We will accept donations for a few weeks.  The contest ends Friday, December 15th at 8:59 PM Pacific/11:59 PM Eastern.  The drawing will be held on Sunday, December 17th at 7 PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern.  It will be shipped immediately, so you can be retro gaming by Christmas morning.


The Raffle
 
Each donation to the SNES PROMO will receive a range of numbers, equating to one number for every dollar you donate.  The minimum donation to the cause is $10.  If you donate $10, you get a range of 10 numbers.  If you donate $100, you get a range of 100 numbers.  The more you donate, the greater your chances of winning.  There is no limit to the amount you can donate...in amount or frequency.  But it needs to be at least $10 per donation to the SNES PROMO.
 
You will receive a Private Message (or email if you are not a S4GRU member) from S4GRU giving you your numbers after your donation.  Most likely within 8-12 hours, but could take a day or two.
 
We will stop accepting donations at 8:59PM Pacific on Friday, December 15th.  Any donations received after that time will not be counted toward this promotion.  The drawing will be held on Sunday, December 17th at 7 PM Pacific.  We will select a number at random using my random number generator app in my Pixel XL.  You do not need to be present in the live chat to win.

All money donated to the raffle will be credited to your S4GRU accumulation total and will count toward future upgrades.  If you are not currently a S4GRU Sponsor, you will be given Sponsor status for six months with the minimum $10 raffle donation.


To Enter
 
Go to the S4GRU PayPal Donation section by clicking on this hyperlink or by by clicking the donate button in the upper right hand corner of most S4GRU pages.  Enter an amount you want to donate for this promotion, minimum $10.  In the notes section, tell us your screen name and type SNES PROMO.  If you forget to do that in the PayPal donation, then send me a Message.  You will get a message response giving you your raffle numbers by 12 Noon Pacific on 12/16/2017.  If you don't get them, message me.


Rules
 
S4GRU Membership is not required to enter.  S4GRU Staff Members and their families are ineligible to win.  Dollars spent on the promotion will count toward future member upgrades.  There is no cash value of the prize.  Shipping costs to send the prize to the winner are included.  S4GRU cannot guarantee availability of any products, types, varieties or colors.  This contest is void where prohibited.  Pre-scheduled automatic recurring payments to S4GRU during the contest period will not be eligible for entry in the contest.  Alternative prizes are not available.  The contest may be subject to amendment, extension or cancellation as necessary.  S4GRU reserves the right to provide a gift card or PayPal payment of the value of the prize for convenience or difficulty in sourcing the prize occurs.

These things are getting hard to get!  Conventional retail outlets are sold out with no more inventory expected this year and the scalpers are already escalating prices on Ebay.  This one is in hand and guaranteed.  Haven't received one donation, yet!  ENTER TODAY!

Don't want one?  Enter anyway and send to a retro gamer friend or family member.  Or donate it back to S4GRU. 

Please help support S4GRU!  We haven't made much money on this deal, yet.  Please enter today!

OK, all entries have been sent out.  We have only raised $100 total so far.  :(

Please, please consider joining this raffle.  I know many of our members are Retro Gamers or know a Retro Gamer they could gift this thing to.  This is a straight up profit raffle for S4GRU.  First totally donated raffle prize.

With so low of participation, you have much higher odds of winning than any other S4GRU contest ever.  Retailers are sold out of the SNES Classic and scalpers are going sky high on E-Bay.  The winner will be getting this thing for a steal!

Consider throwing in $10-$25.  It will help support the site and you could get a cool gift just in time for Christmas.  Even if you decide to regift!

Robert

P.S. - If you didn't get your entry and you have entered, please message me right away!  Thanks.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
