It stinks.

Every survey I have been given so far (except 1) has gone as such:

1. Ask me 10-20 questions about my gaming, spending and console habits.

2. Ask me my gender.

3. Ask me my age, then proceed to tell me I am not qualified.

Do I have to start lying about my age to be qualified for these things? I am certain I spend a lot more on games than 99.5% of teenagers. And in fact, I am buying for my daughter too, so that is another demographic they are skipping.

Plus you'd think they'd have the decency to ask my age first, or at least give me partial credit since I filled out a fair amount of questions before being disqualified.

I was also signed up for the NPDR survey panel, and the majority of those I qualified for. But I have since quit responding to those surveys since they took a long time (and weren't about games). Plus there was basically no reward.

Is anyone else out there signed up with this Gamers Instinct Panel? Have you had similar problems?
