Let Engadget trick out your home theater contest deadline extended, ends midnight tonight

Just a quick announcement about our home theater contest: we're extending the deadline until a minute before midnight tonight. Turns out the overwhelming response happened to overwhelm our email server, and maxed out our storage limit. Don't worry, we've sorted the problem -- just make sure to resubmit before 11:59PM EDT tonight if your email bounced. We're sorry for the inconvenience. If you haven't entered yet, check out the details here, first making sure to read the rules here. Good luck!

Is there a way to verify if our submission went through? I got a failure notice the first time, but then forwarded the submission, failure notice, and a comment regarding what happened to the contest again.

Would that be considered an entry or should I resend?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 16th 2007 2:09PM]

I'm assuming that since I never received an email that my submission went through. Should I re-submit?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 16th 2007 5:05PM]

I too am curious.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 16th 2007 2:56PM]

Why so few comments?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 16th 2007 8:16PM]

Yep, can't remember if I entered or not.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 16th 2007 10:46PM]

How are you guys gonna extend the deadline on a Sunday? After my entry got bounced on Saturday, I though it was over. You should at least extend it to Monday night so people who read the blog on the weekend when there is usually no new content can have a chance.

yeah!

[Timerider Posted Sep 17th 2007 9:44PM]

Crap!
I didn't see the returned mail message until today because it was in the junk folder. You didn't give us enough warning. REDO!

So has a winner been picked yet?

[Jonthomasdesigns Posted Sep 28th 2007 9:19AM]

Any Winner ??

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 3rd 2007 11:00PM]

So, who's the winner?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2007 9:28AM]

Any winner? Any resolution whatsoever?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 17th 2007 1:16PM]

So..... was this contest a hoax?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 18th 2007 8:39PM]

Sure is starting to look that way. That's the problem with contests that AREN'T random draws- the contest organizer never guesses at the sheer number of entries, then can't cope.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 22nd 2007 11:18AM]

Well, you say that, but they haven't announced winners to all those contests which WERE random draws, either.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 2nd 2007 12:06AM]

"they haven't announced winners to all those contests"

Yes, but this is a pretty good-sized one. Maybe they were underwhelmed by the number of entries, and it didn't get them enough readers? (month-and-a-half from contest, at this point)

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 9th 2007 12:40AM]

Le sigh. Come come, engadget. Man up and make an announcement of some sort.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 14th 2007 12:07PM]

Nearly two months since the deadline. As Zini says, man up.
