splash: The program has been launched, see http://www.pokerstars.com/vip/main.html for details.

btape: It looks like they will get you whatever you want if you're a Supernova member.

As the Rolling Stones said, "You can't always get what you want." Or can you? As a Supernova, you're not limited to just the array of items that you see on the store shelf. If there is something special you're looking for, anything in the range of approximately $3000 and up, just let us know and we'll personally see what can be done to make it happen!

I imagine this could be used for anything from jewelry to a car. Yes, cash is better, but if you also consider the freerolls and better software it might be worth it.

No. It's actually 35127 games. You don't hit supernova until the first 100,000 points.

400 sngs at 25 points per game for your first 10,000 FPPs.
1584 sngs at 62.5 points per game for your next 99,000 FPPs.
Then you hit Supernova.
33143 sngs at 87.5 points per game for the next 2,900,000 FPPs.

For raptor, 20-tabling and 12 hours a day, it will only take him 6 months, oh if he 20 tables $200 or 500, maybe he can do it in a month!

Oh interesting. I didn't know it was launched. Looks like you can buy some pretty cool stuff. Even if you don't just go for the big tourny entries. I'll have to look at this close later. It would only take 400 $60 turbos in Jan to reach Platinum status. And only 160 tournies each month after Jan due to the 150% FFP bonus.

No you need to play 400 every month, bonus FPP's do not count as VPP's
