Before the new site launched I demoed a new feature I'd been toying with called This Just In. The idea is to give you guys a quick glance at what I'm working on (and eventually what the entire team is working on) as soon as something new arrives at our doorsteps.

I'll admit that there have been a few things that have arrived since my last post, however all of them are under NDA at this point. I do have good news though, more giveaways are coming.

I asked our ad reps to see if any of their clients wanted to provide any giveaways to commemorate the new site launch. G.Skill was eager to show their appreciation for you all and dropped off a big box of goodies to give away.

I haven't inventoried it all yet, nor have I decided how we're going to give it away but expect more details next week :) And congrats to our AMD/Lenovo giveaway winner Scott T. from Syracuse, NY. Scott and I have already been in communication and AMD is working hard to get him his brand new ThinkPad X100e asap!

Cool. But I hope this isn't the end of in-depth reviews

Nice - I hope us outside the US also get to feel the love.

As great as that would be - unlikely, very unlikely. International contests are complicated because of all those different laws involved, so no luck for us it seems :(

But I always like a good surprise ;)

Well as a compromise they should do a different country every time, at-least everyone would get a turn then!

There is a VAT for that. As long as that statement holds true you guys are probably SoL.

Honestly, taxes and shipping for something like a memory module is more than the cost to buy the things locally anyway, and you guys want AT to shoulder that burden??? Ha!!!

AT could, for the rest of us, ask that we carry the burden of taxes and shipping. it is an option and an expensive one than buying the things locally.

US only? by rpsgc on Saturday, April 10, 2010
Will it be US only or open to anyone?

As long as they're going to be US only, I really don't care.

Would be interesting to see what excuse you'll find now, as these are not very "expensive" things for which you'd have to pay taxes and fees.

I love G. Skill by RetroEvolute on Saturday, April 10, 2010
It's nice to see that G. Skill was so willing to help out. I already buy the majority of my RAM from them, but this just gives me a little bit more faith.
