  • Super lucky- I can never see an xbox, which budget do you use (I just go for the top ones). If it's on the list and drawn at random I can't see you pricing yourself out :)
    Best wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card

    Much as I am enjoying the toaster theme :)

    Just a serious question - I keep choosing an Xbox One on my wish list but the RRP for one will be £429 which is above the £350 max.

    Am I doing myself out of a potential win or perhaps it will be cheaper at Currys (can't believe that though...) :rotfl:

    Any ideas anyone?

    I always choose an Xbox and a PS4 - I am also a little sceptical about them choosing winners with such high value prizes but they HAVE put them on the list.

    Plus, I'd rather have a shot at winning something I REALLY want than just put cheap things that I don't want on my list.

    Age range (and maybe gender) makes a difference to the selection on offer (0-18 male has what looks like an x-box of some sort).

    Cheers for the list. I choose the Apple items, laptops and TVS....But serious £270 for a toaster?! Mine new one was £40 half price and I still thought £40 was a lot to spend!

  • Does anyone know how to get the Wii U up? I had it up once and can't remember what options I picked and not seen it since...
  • xbox only appears on male (when i try it anyway - feels a bit sexist as I like playing games too), has appeared for all age ranges apart from 50+ and mostly seems to appear when the high score/ tweet more option is set to high score.

    It has appeared at other times too but that seems to be the way I almost certainly get one to appear on the options. If that helps anyone...

    Have only seen Wii U once, no idea how. What I really want to figure out is how to get the 3ds to show up when I want it to...

    I think it comes up on the male 18-25 selection :)

    I have tried it on there but still can't get it up again. I can get the ps4 and xbox everytime but only ever seen the wii u once. Must have been a fluke.

    See, this is what I don't like about this year's competition - the prizes you are allowed to pick from depends hugely on the options that they give you for "what do they like". I haven't seen the Wii U once, and this is something I'd really, really love to win for my boys. It seems a bit flawed that when they offer you certain options such as "Penguin or Robin" "Socks or Pants" it's limiting what prizes they put as available for you!! Last year you could just go through five different categories and pick out a gift from each, and the options stayed the same each time!
    Ah well.... I don't suppose I'd be complaining if my list did win, and it didn't have a Wii U on it, eh! Grumble over!
