Well.. it does say:

You will not be able to enter your passwords on the Play.com website until Wednesday 1 November.

Dan133269

Basq

Malmedicine

randomchild

irishproduce

Just banged off my entry there.
God I love free stuff

alastair_doom

Have Play not learned their lesson???

well... im gonna try getting about 50 free dvds anyway

positron

No email from them yet. And terms & conditions mentions "one entry per household". I wonder if they will or can enforce it?

alastair_doom

All depends how many different ways you can write your address. Heck, if your not paying, why not try a few misspellings, accidentally putting numbers instead of letters etc.

Postmen usually go for 'closest to matching address' anyway

BFassassin

how many of these dvds are on offer? and how did they fook up last year so i can look out for the signs?:D

samo

Apparently the last password is Russia

Maxwell

Anyone got an e-mail yet?

ronano

MOH

Sorry to be dim, but what are people putting in the mandatory 'postcode' field? Surely it will reject anything that's not a valid UK postcode?

c - 13

MOH, I usually put in either NONE or 00000 and it usually accepts one or the other.

MOH

Yeah, sorry, ignore that. I put in 'Co. Dublin' and it took that!

No mail yet though.

Timans

I did it three times, Leaving out some letters in my address on different occasions.

DVD's, I wanty.

Kold

Does it matter the order of the pws?

BFassassin

Strange I didn't even get that.

Wonder if I entered the correct e-mail address.

muffler, I think you've gotten threads mixed up. That email you got was for the £5/£1 Play voucher, the free DVD is a separate offer.

I haven't received anything yet either.
