are you perhaps confusing cm and inches?

I would assume the gold wouldn't work because of a) shipping costs and b) reporting/recording for income purposes, it could be seen as a tax dodge and it's hard to pin down the value of it because gold floats vs other currencies.

pretty sure everyone here has a chest circumference >28", nvm cm. I'd guess someone at Stars just laid one flat on a table and measured them in 2d. So basically just x2 the chest width to see the commonly used size, S-43", M-45", L-47", XL-50", XXL-52", XXXL-56" imo.

It was in the sale list, I don't know if it's around anymore.

If you look in the "new" category there's a zip up white bamboo hoodie.

No me

But I went up a size b/c I thought their items fit small.

Ordered the Ipod Touch on 10/3 (Beat: it was still 25,000 fpp) and it arrived via UPS on 10/11.

It does not have the HD video recording that is offered on the ipod touch you can purchase on the Apple Website.

HI,

Question on the VIP Store items:

Why not make the actual items (not the bonus money) available to all players? Sure, keep the item prices as they are, but if someone wants to save their fpps for a particular item, then let them.

Example: the 32G Ipad that's new - why is it available only to Platinum and above? Why not make it available to anyone that wants to save up their fpps to get the 58,000 fpps price?

Thanks

Because it's going to cost them a ton more than it does now (ie. profiting less) when you have Bronze Stars ($0.010/fpp value) passing up mousepads and buying PS3s at Gold Star price ($0.012/fpp value).

Also, when did the cash bonuses become instantaneous? You used to have to unlock them. I didn't notice since I'm saving up for when i hit supernova, but yum.

I like it a lot. Not only does it encourage more play which is good for stars (go busto? use those FPPs to reload!), but for an aspiring full-time player like myself, it really helps that bills can get paid at the click of a button instead of after a grind.

Also: Just ordered the wallet and laptop bag.

I want the hoodie, but I think I'm going to pass on it. I'd much rather have any other color than white, and I'd be really disappointed if it didn't fit, as well.

Ah well. Super excited for the other stuff.

I'm in Canada and they sent my iPod Touch last year through FedEx and I have some new items coming (hoodie, decks of cards, jacket) through regular Canada Post. They should send you an email confirmation or even send them an email they are very quick at replying (well maybe not the store).

Ya I have a long torso and I find that L usually fits my body type fine but at times will be to short in the length, where XL is to big for my body and usually long enough. I'm 6-1 / 210lbs.

wait so I just saw that the cash bonus is 4k for 250k fpps. I always used to think the cash bonus were bad deals - isn't this one of the best FPP bang for your buck options?
