It's been a while since DS-Scene have been in a position to host a competition of any kind. This makes the staff and myself all the more excited to announce this little give-away in a celebration of 5 years of the re-vamped DS-Scene v2. To celebrate, we have teamed up with our newest sponsor MyGamingMart in order to give a little something back to the people that support us most, you!
So without further-ado, let's get on with the prize list and how to enter...
PrizeList
MyGamingMart are supplying all of the prizes and are offering various different prizes that will suit anyone from the old collectors that just like messing about with DS/DSi kit or the enthusiast that wants to check out what the PS3 can do.
DSi Black Case
This DSi themed hard case will protect your DSLite, DSi or 3DS console from any knocks and scrapes. It comes in a cool black colour with a gold trim and has an extra compartment for game carts and headphones.
PS3 Amazebreak
The Amazebreak PS3 dongle must be used on a Playstation 3 console on firmware version 3.41.
iTouch2
On offer are these three iTouch2 flash cards.
They're a great flashcart for those with a DSLite or an older version DSi.
R4iRTS
There are 7 R4iRTS to give away. They are from r4irts.cn which is no longer available so they're a bit of a collectors item?
Again a great flashcart for those with a DSLite or an older version DSi.
There are some DS-Scene related bonus prizes hidden away in these rules and faq so make sure you read everything!

FrequentlyAsked Questions
How many times can I enter? You can enter a maximum number of 2 times, so that's one entry for Twitter and one entry for Facebook. Why not double your chances whilst also getting a chance for a bonus reward by entering twice!
How will the winners be chosen? Winners will be chosen at random from the entries from a hat. If you use both networks to convey your love for DS-Scene then you'll have more chance of winning!
How will the prizes be distributed? The prizes will be given out on a raffle basis. The person that is drawn first from the hat will get to choose their prize first. This means that everyone should get what they want rather than something they do not need. MyGamingMart will ship the prizes directly to your specified address.
What happens if I am drawn twice from the hat? If you somehow manage to win twice (your name comes out of the hat twice), you will only be sent one prize but you will receive a 'Peach's Pet' award against your profile on DS-Scene, what an honor!
You asked us to be creative, how does that work? If the DS-Scene staff like your post then it may be considered as a new tagline for the website. Please bear this in mind when posting and refrain from posting anything offensive.
What exactly are the bonus DS-Scene related rewards? If you are using a new account created on or after the date of this post then you are still eligible for certain rewards. The first is the 'Peach's Pet' reward for getting your name drawn out of the hat twice and the second is the chance of having your post as the new tagline for DS-Scene!
How do I upload my proof image? You can use a popular image hosting website like http://www.imgur.com or you can use your own alternative hosting.
If I win, do I have to use my real address to receive my prize? Any information passed onto the DS-Scene staff will remain confidential so use whatever you wish. We will send your address along with your prize requirement to MyGamingMart with no record of your DS-Scene, Twitter or Facebook user name. All communications containing addresses will be destroyed on completion of the competition.
More information on how we will collate the winners addresses will be given out once the deadline has passed.
