[botticus]

Thanks ship, I had debated creating my own thread for this exact reason.

As a moderator, shipwreck is displaying the sort of ingenuity that saved him and Snake-Eyes from a sandstorm by using a sail as cover. (sorry, that's the first thing that pops in my head whenever I see your avatar, had to find a way to work it into a post)

[chickenhawk]

Thanks for condensing these....I hate having to remember to enter all these contests every day. I like te TRU one where you only enter once....oh well, I can't complain about people giving away free stuff.

EDIT: shipwreck is a mod? Somehow, I didn't even realize that...how long has this been going on!?!?!

[radjago]

The URL for the Circuit City contest isn't right in your post, Shipwreck. Try copying the link instead of just the text.

It happened today. And as you can see by how well, I merged these topics and screwed up the order, things are going quite well. :)

One problem at a time. Don't fluster me people. :)

CC link in the OP works just fine for me.

[insano]

thanks for posting this shipwreck, much appreciated. for some reason the circuit city contest link isn't working.

not related to contest but ive been a member for awhile now i need to start posting more so i can get rid of newbie status. 1 post down, 3000 more to go :]

[chickenhawk]

It happened today. And as you can see by how well, I merged these topics and screwed up the order, things are going quite well. :)

OK, that makes me feel better that it just happened today....if it had been a while, I would have felt like a jackass for not noticing earlier....congrats!!!

It was weird, I posted in your then new topic and then when I refreshed, I was on the second page with another poster as the OP. No biggie....gott learn the ropes still I imagine. ;) I am assuming that one of your assigned areas must be the Xbox forums. :D

[DT778]

the toysrus one is void in Colorado, Florida, and Puerto Rico.

[shipwreck]

Okay, all the links are correct now. I may just leave well enough alone and just close the other topics rather than testing my merging skills again.

Well, there are a lot of valuable thank you messages in those threads, but I suppose they can be locked.

thanks for the linkage!

What about the IGN contests for 360s? There was a thread about them...

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

jr.com has a 360 contest going too

http://www.jr.com/JRContest.process?RestartFlow=t&Contest_Num=86

[MR ZOOTEMO]

find those egm codes :-) Please


Yes Please find them .

[help1]

4 contests, and 2 voided out NY..... WTF MATES!

thanks shipwreck and the peopel who posted it to ship.

[pimp tyranny]

egm codes:

U8ESAK

X7USHI

TOBRUK or T0BRUK

not sure, but i would imagine the latter with a zero since the other two have numbers for the second digit.

and that's nov, dec, and jan respectively.

[Santurio]

Thank you Mr Wreck! This will help out a lot.

EDIT: shipwreck is a mod? Somehow, I didn't even realize that...how long has this been going on!?!?!
I was thinking the exact same thing. I see his posts everyday and never noticed him to be a mod.......but realizing it happened today well that makes more sense.
Congratulation Shipwreck!!

[JohnnyDrama]

thanks OP, I entered almost all of them

[nikkai]

Well, here goes nothing

[help1]

For those in NY (near the island)who dont mind listening to Hip hop:

nice catch hfdpro.

i actually got sick of trying to enter during the contest and kept getting that fussy collection is null error. however, now, it was swift and smooth, i entered for all 3 days in about 5 minutes, thanks to autofill and capslock. :)

thanks again.

[doho7744]

Just got an email from bioware they're giving away an xbox 360. They will be making a game for it too. "Mass Effect" it looks cool. Here's the link.

thanks again.

I got the collection is null error when I tried it with Firefox (still using an old version, btw), but it worked with IE. I wasn't able to do the Air Force contest with Firefox (all of the controls seemed to mapped to the wrong screen locations. I found a few of them, but gave up on the rest), either, but had no problem with IE.

Thanks to all contest posters.

[nogard]

Thanks, entered into few of them. I wonder why so many are void in NY.

[Tyga24]

Thanks for putting together all of the giveaways shipwreck, I didnt even know about most of the deals.

[pimp tyranny]

so what's the chance for a win entering this many contests? still under 1% i'd imagine. any conjectures?

[Tequilla Gundam]

Actually, the normal chances of winning these contests, shown by studies, are

.002%(Bigger ones like Comedy Central, CC, TRU) - .05%(Smaller ones like Ubi-Soft and BioWare)

[guessed]

I just found this one:

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/sweepstakes/index.html?rb=972926393&special_uid=1&_LOC=US

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. The X-Box Sweepstakes is open from December 2nd, 2005 through December 20th, 2005 to persons over the age of 18 who are residents of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Prize: Xbox360 Platinum Bundle with 4 Games (ARV: $619.99). Sponsor: Ebuyer US, Inc. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Offers valid on select models. Prices may vary. © 2005 Ebuyer US, Inc.

BTW, if you remove the extra variables at the end of the link, i.e.:

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/sweepstakes/index.html

there is a contest for a Toshiba 52" DLP, which would be a very nice consolation if you don't happen to win the Xbox 360. ;)

Edit: For the Xbox 360 contest, they guarantee delivery to the winner by Christmas Eve. Pretty impressive considering the contest ends on the 20th, and they don't even take shipping address information with the entry.

[gopro]

thanks a lot man, good stuff.

Guessed thanks a lot man, just entered both those.

[binbinzhou]

thanks, I have entered most contests. And I told a friend about this. Hopefully one of us can win a 360.

[addicted2games]

I wonder why some of the contests are void in my state of Florida? #$%#$%$%

[Simmen Stenil]

Thanks, I entered all but the Air Force one.

[woobacca]

Sweet! Thanks for posting this shipwreck.

Is ebuyer's contest telling anyone else that they don't have a valid email address? I tried both g-mail and yahoo mail and tells me to enter a valid email address.

Thanks CAG's for all the contest links. Congrats to all. Also just to let you all know if I win I will trade my system for 3 360 games if I win.
