Wondering if anyone has seen this yet.

I liked it well enough, wondering what you guys thought.

It's an interesting idea, but I don't think I'd pay to play it, which is the ultimate intent. Espeically 'cuz it crashed on me during Danger Price. THAT better not happen when I'm paying for it.
Bob's certainly looking well, tho!

Very engaging. I'm sure a lot of you will harp on all the differences in design between this and the real thing, but it was probably the most perfect play-at-home adaptation I've ever seen, mostly because it uses real prizes and prices.
It sucked me in, but I'm with Chris. I don't see it catching on to be a big nationwide sensation, because I can't imagine people paying to play, even at a quarter a shot. Something to keep an eye on, though.

Ahh so it didn't just happen to me...I was wondering for a minute. :-P

I won three prizes (and fairly easily, I might add)...Too bad I don't live in Stamford, CT...
Maybe if I ever get to work for Vince...
Doesn't matter someone called and disconnected me as I was pondering the prizes anyhow...
INteresting, but there's NO WAY this thing will go off the way they have it planned.

Quite fascinating. I was expecting a crash, after Chris's experience, but had no problem. It _is_ a pretty strong adaptation.
I don't expect it'll take off in a major way, but I think it could be met with a measure of success. Not my quarter, though. Not today, anyway...

Let me add, though, that I was connected through work, and the proxy server we get out on will never have the phrase \"rock-solid reliable\" in it's description. I just played here at home and got all the way through, no problem.
It IS kinda neat. I still dunno about the (potential, as it seems very much like this is still in demo stages) playing fee, it seems like the concept is aching to be sponsor-supported...
HOWEVER, I tell you what...while I wouldn't pay to play for prizes, I WOULD play for free for money-off coupons. Keep my credit card out of the picture, and they may have something.
