Lol, it only took that nerd an hour and a half to win the contest, when they gave like 3 months for people to do it. I do think this will mean good earnings for these guys in a couple days. I agree that the contest probably sparked sales -- I myself was thinking of getting this game until I read the fine print and saw that the contest is invalid in like a quarter of the US states! (sike. jk.) And this stupid hick actually admitted that he bought the game because of the contest. That tells me it is giving people a lottery mindset, and if there is one thing I know about money, it's that the lottery never loses. Anyway, I'm sure a bunch of other nerds will continue to buy this game just to see if they can pitch a perfect game, even though the million isn't up for grabs anymore. Oh yeah, and GTA is kind of popular too.
