GIVEAWAY: IPod Touch Update (11/27)
November 27, 2008: Happy Thanksgiving! And time to give thanks to all of you for coming back to WeekinRewind, for your great patronage, for all your comments, for reading and reacting to the reviews (pro and con--I want it all, a place where we can freely talk about movies), and for going for it in these giveaways.
I'm having a lot of fun--I hope you are, too. Some have asked why I'm doing this. Because I'm lucky to do what I do, I'm happy you visit the advertisers who support this site (they kind of pay for the giveaways), and because I want to do it. So there.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that there was a huge surprise in store for the iPod Touch giveaway, and there it is above (try to overlook my mug--I hate having my photo taken).
When I bought the iPod, I was thinking--okay, ear plugs are fine, and all, but wouldn't this iPod giveaway be rad if you had a BOSE SoundDock to listen to it on? P.S., my peeps--that Bose SoundDock is the best on the market. It's BOSE! You can find it at Best Buy (like I did) for $299. And it's yours if you win the iPod. Happy freaking holidays!
A better picture of both is to the right (click to supersize it). Hot!
And P.S. again: TIME IS TICKING ON THIS GIVEAWAY! We've got LESS than a month left on this contest, so if you haven't been playing, start catching up!
Here's an update on the giveaway:
As with the Playstation 3 giveaway , we are also making winning the iPod Touch easy. 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 words "iPod Touch" in a sentence at the end of the review.
Not hard at all, particularly if you look through the A, N, Q or R sections.
(If you missed the previous entries, look through the S, J, P, L, B, C, T, D, M and F sections. LOOK FOR THEM AND EMAIL THE ANSWERS.)
The word will be in red. Once you find it, go to this page, fill out the information, send me an email with the name of the listing that has "iPod Touch" at the end of the review, and you'll be in it to win it!
DO NOT REVEAL TO ANYONE THE LOCATION OF THE WORD. DO NOT POST THE LOCATION 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 twice 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 iPod Touch and the BOSE SoundDock will be shipped overnight to the winner. So, you can either keep it for yourself or go all crazy and give them away as a holiday gift.
Here are the stats on this baby (it's the BEST iPod Touch available!):
- Price: $399
- Edition: 32 GB
- Holds: 7,000 songs
- 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display
- Dock connector, stereo minijack
- Up to 36 hours of music playback; up to 6 hours of video playback
- USB through dock connector; component and composite video through dock connector (with AV cables, sold separately); audio through headphone jack
- Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)
- Nike + iPod support built in
- Maps location-based service
- Earphones, USB cable, dock adapter, polishing cloth
IMPORTANT: To further increase your chances of winning, leave a comment on 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!
