GIVEAWAY: Playstation 3!

9/28/2008 Posted by Admin



December 15, 2008: And so this also ends. This is the last time I'll post for the Playstation 3 giveaway. Just as with the iPod Touch/BOSE giveaway, I've enjoyed every minute of it, all the enthusiasm, and I hope you have, too. In three months, this giveaway also peaked at over a million entries, most via email, many with comments. Every one of them counts as one entry. On Thursday, I will pick one winner at random. We now have THREE days left on this contest, so if you haven't been playing, start catching up!

Here's the last update on the giveaway.

To win, we're continuing to make it easy, just as we are in our iPod Touch Giveaway. This time, just go to the A-Z directory on the right margin (just below my face), and start clicking through the listings until you find a variation of the word "Playstation 3" in a sentence at the end of the review.

But here's the same twist as in the final iPod Touch giveaway posting: Send me all the reviews in which the word appears. It appears in the S section (it appears THREE times there), and also in the following sections: H (there are two in the H section), N, B, K (there are two in the K section), D, T, C, L, W, P, F, B, V, W, E, G, A, I and M sections (there are six in the M section). LOOK FOR THEM AND EMAIL THE ANSWERS.

The word will be in red. Once you find them all, go to this page, fill out the information, send me an email with the names of the listings that have "Playstation 3" at the end of the review, and you'll be in it to win it!

IF YOU ALREADY KNOW, NO NEED TO LOOK--JUST SEND ME THE ANSWERS.

DO NOT REVEAL TO ANYONE THE LOCATIONS OF THE WORD. DO NOT POST THE LOCATIONS ANYWHERE ON THIS SITE.

You may enter once per day for the duration of the contest.

This contest will be updated several times (at least once a week) with new locations where the word can be found, thus increasing your chances of winning if you email me the locations.


The contest ends on December 18, 2008, and the Playstation 3 will be shipped overnight to the winner. So, you can either keep it for yourself or go all crazy and give it away as a holiday gift.

Here are the stats on this baby:
  • Price: $399
  • Edition: 80 GB
  • Includes PlayStation 3 80 GB system, Dualshock 3 wireless controller, and free PlayStaion Network membership
  • Internet ready Wi-Fi
  • 80 GB of hard disk storage for all your games, music, videos, and photos
  • Blu-ray player to give you the best high-definition viewing experience and pristine picture quality
  • Play your entire catalog of CDs and DVDs
That last part of that list is pretty key. As many of you know, this isn't just a gaming machine, it also will play high-def Blu-ray movies (you'll need to have a high-def, 1080p TV for that, which unfortunately I'm not giving away--yet. Check back around the holidays and we'll see what I can work out with one of the large and very generous retailers I'm working my butt off to charm).

I'm paying for this, so there's no need to charm anything but my wallet.

IMPORTANT: To further increase your chances of winning, leave a comment at the VERY END of this post. You can do so below in the "Comments" or "Post a Comment" section. You also can also do this once per day. THIS IS CRITICAL TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES TO WIN--SO LEAVE A COMMENT DAILY!

In other words, with this particular contest, the more you leave comments and email me the location of the hidden word, the higher your chances of winning.


Good luck!

Christopher
