Because you can WIN COOL STUFF....:mvboogie:

This awesome prize pack was delivered to me yesterday.....it was a fun surprise. Apparently the ECA does a monthly drawing and I was one of the winners! The ECA offers a free 1 year membership to all PMS members and I joined because I thought that this was an important Association for gamers.....but the benefits keep coming!!

I won 2 PC games - NBA Live '08 and Ride! : Carnival Tycoon
Two ECA pins.
A cool Jumbo ECA pen.
And the coolest shirt ever in case you can't read it....under the pic of the controllers it says:

"Contrary to popular opinion, These do not make me a killer"

How cool is that?
These are also some really good reasons to join the ECA!


What is the ECA?
The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit advocacy organization established to serve the evolving needs of individuals who play computer and video games by giving their passion a voice. The ECA represents the interactive entertainment consumers who constitute nearly fifty percent of the US population and spend $10 billion annually on gaming, yet are continually overlooked by politicians and the mainstream press.

What is the ECA's mission?
The primary mission of the ECA is to give gaming consumers a voice and ensure that state and local politicians hear their concerns and appreciate their demographic power. The ECA focuses its advocacy efforts on consumer rights, anti-games legislation, and a host of other public policy concerns as well as providing community and affinity benefits to its members.

What does it mean to be an ECA member?
By joining the ECA, you can make your voice heard while taking advantage of exclusive ECA membership benefits. If you want to help take on the major issues confronting gaming consumers today-anti-gaming legislation, consumer rights, and more-lending your support to the ECA can make a real difference.

But ECA membership goes beyond our advocacy efforts. The ECA is dedicated to providing a wealth of community and affinity benefits to our members. With membership, you can connect with like-minded gaming fans, explore career and educational opportunities in gaming, and more. ECA membership can also provide discounts on magazines and subscriptions and save you money on purchases at affiliated retailers.

Supporting ECA means not only doing the right thing for gamers everywhere, it lets you save money on gaming purchases while joining a network of passionate interactive entertainment fans.

They don't mail you a membership card anymore I think you can print it out. But depending on when they enter your info it takes time to get log in info in your email. The H2O info got sent a little late, since we were trying to make a big list...but rest assured grasshoppers you're all members. And you can join the forums at any time :)
