Update: Giveaways for right now are over, but they do give out stuff periodically. Keep watching their twitter.

LINK

Basically you need to follow @ugodotcom on twitter and when the text under the headline on the main page changes to the contest entry, you tweet it to them. The first person to send it wins.

Below text is from giveaway page:

--------------------------------------------------------
That's right, UGO is moving to Broadway (technically, we're already on Broadway, but now we'll be on Tourist Broadway) and like any person preparing for an existential fresh start, were shedding our most valuable possessions.

Everything must go!

Here are just a few things we're giving away on the UGO homepage today.

-Uncharted 2 Collector's Edition (The big box autographed by the dev team and packed with a replica knife)!

-A Mod Nation Racers Vinyl Toy in a Cardboard Car!

-Two Limited Edition Brink Posters!

-Crysis 2 Limited Print Concept Art!

-A Mound of Comics!

-A Final Fight T-shirt!

-A Copy of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz!

-A Half Eaten Box of Raisin Bran Crunch!

-And more!!!

Here's how it works. We'll post a secret message in the kicker of our Top Story. The kick is the punchy text below the headline. Here's a pic:

To win, copy the kicker and Tweet it to @ugodotcom. The first to tweet wins and will be contacted via a direct message - so be sure to follow @ugodotcom.

Keep your eyes on UGO.com for your chance to win.

[quote name='UberSwiss']Well that sucks. The last guy that won tweeted after me. Maybe I'm missing something in the rules[/QUOTE]

They're using HootSuite to post, so they're probably also using it to check. Sometimes, when people tweet more or less simultaneously (which happens with contests like these) the first one listed at twitter.com may be different than the first one listed in a twitter client. It's sort of like you lost a coin toss. It sucks, but it happens.

That makes sense. Thanks for informing me.
 
I won one of the signed Crysis 2 prints! According to the UGO guy that DM'ed me, it's SICK!

I was really gunning for that Uncharted 2 bundle, like everyone else, but bad news to four people (myself included) that show that they tweeted before @brendanTmurphy on the Twitter.com timeline. @craig19c shows as the first tweeter and I show as second (@loesjoel).

Either way, I'm pumped to have won something, though I don't really think I'll have any use for it. We'll see when it comes!

How do you see the timeline?

Holy shit. Could that be one of the limited aluminum prints, which was posted on kotaku last week? If so, congrats. That is awesome.

[quote name='@ugodotcom']Some controversy with the last winner the 1st tweet was based on timestamp on our program the difference in time was literally seconds[/quote]So yep, they're using their HootSuite timeline for the contest. Well, like someone said, it's a crapshoot. Good luck for the guy that won, poor luck for @craig19c - and me I suppose as I could have turned up in the top spot just as easily, too!

Oh well, I'm pumped anyways.
 
Thanks OP!

Won the ModNation Racers vinyl car.

And regarding the people who posted before BrendanTMurphy had all already won something. So I assume UGO decided to give it to someone who hadn't won yet. Which was perfectly in their right even though I believe they said earlier that people could win multiple times.

That being said, at the very beginning of the contest I confirmed with UGO that they had NO problem with someone winning multiple items. Even after winning the Crysis 2 art, I direct messaged them saying I wanted to go for the Uncharted 2 CE and they said "go for it." Of course, I also offered to let them give my Crysis 2 art to someone else if I were to win the UC2 package.

Good to know. I really wanted the Brink posters and thankfully I got them. Getting a new apartment in a few months...gonna need some decor!
 
Failed to get anything on the first contest day, but snagged a War Machine cap yesterday. Should be pretty hardcore.
