Win An XBOX360 Elite And A Copy Of GTA4!
Posted on April 2nd, 2008 by John Cow under Make Moooney Online, The NetJust when we thought Top Hosting Center couldn’t possible be any cooler, they messaged us on IM to let us know they’d like to sponsor one of our bigger contests. Obviously they didn’t have to tell us that twice! We’ve negotiated a little and you guys are probably going to be very happy with the outcome. We’re going to give one of our readers a brandnew XBOX360 Elite and a copy of the new Grand Theft Auto IV which is coming out at the end of the month, possibly the most anticipated game of the year!
We didn’t go for anything less than the best on this one, here’s what Microsoft says about the elite:
-
Xbox 360 Elite console: The console is equipped with an HDMI port, HDMI cable, a black wireless controller and black Xbox LIVE® headset. It also comes with three powerful core processors, 16:9 cinematic aspect ratio, anti-aliasing for smooth textures, full surround sound, and DVD playback with upscaling capabilities right out of the box.
As you can see, the console and all it’s accessories (wireless controller and headset) come in fashionable black. This version has the huge 120GB hard-drive and a HDMI cable to hook it up to your HD TV set for the ultimate Next Generation gaming experience! Besides the gaming, the whole media system is pretty good too. We use it a lot to stream moovies from our mac to the 360 via WiFi, so we can watch them on our big screen TV in the lounge, it’s ideal!
The winner will be picked via a lottery and you can choose how many tickets that you have in the draw! The more tickets that you have, the greater chance of winning! Here’s how to get your tickets:
- 250 tickets - Write a small blurb about this contest on your blog, 100 words minimum. Please make sure you linkback to our sponsor and to this post so your readers can find it.
- 250 tickets - Become an affiliate with THC for free. This is really a no-brainer as Top Hosting Center offers 50% commission for each sale you make for them! Within a few sales you can buy your own 360 if you don’t win this one! (We’ll check if you have one of their banners on your blog!)
- 25 tickets - Every comment, about this contest, you leave on another blog’s latest post will get you 25 tickets, as will leaving this link in a new forum thread somewhere, or when you mass message your myspace or facebook friends. Perhaps even use Twitter to let all your followers know
- 25 tickets - Subscribe to our RSS feed and THC’s blog feed.
That’s all kids. Contest will run until the 30th of this month, that’s when GTA4 is scheduled for release. We will throw all the tickets into a big hat and pick a lucky winner. Thanks again to the people at Top Hosting Center for being an awesome blog web host!
