Surprised this hasn't been posted yet - correct me if I'm wrong.

Pepsi is giving away 1,000 Xbox 360 Kinect packs. This is the same promotional set Burger King offered last month, A 4GB Xbox 360, Kinect, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports. They'll also be giving away 50 Kinect Sensors with Kinect Adventures, and 450 copies of 1 unspecified Kinect game.

The promotion is at http://www.choosepepsi.com/kinect/ and the official rules are here: http://www.choosepepsi.com/kinect/rules.html

Per the rules:
To enter without purchase, hand print your name, complete street address and phone number on a 3 x 5 inch piece of paper. Mail completed entry postmarked no later than December 31, 2010 and received by January 7, 2011 to PO Box 1207, Young America, MN 55594-1207. Enter as often as you like, but each mail-in entry must be mailed separately in a hand-addressed, stamped envelope. Limit one entry per stamped outer envelope.

Good luck, lets see some more CAG Kinect winners!
 
Weird, a strictly snail mail contest? I guess US Postal Service asked them to do this lol.
 
With mail in contests there is usually a greater chance of winning because there are so many people who don't want to waste a whole $.49 (is that what postage is today?) for an entry. I'll be in for a few entries thanks!

Probably because there isn't much to get excited about... Once you have mailed in your entries, you have to wait until Jan 11 before they make the drawing, and then another 6-to-8 weeks for the prize to arrive. Not like the online based contests where the daily instant winners were keeping the threads busy.

Nah. Its more like you can't bot a contest where you have to use the snail mail. And, even if you did mass-submit, it would cost you postage, so a lot less likely people are going to submit thousands of entries (i.e. hundreds of $$$ in postage) for a chance that they might win a console.

Back in the day, all contests used to have the SASE option... Many tried to get away from it using this new fangled internet thingamabob to save themselves the manpower needed to process these 'free' entries. Didn't quite work out as expected for many of their promotions.

Not to mention that they are already allocating the resources to process the UPC clippings (w/ 3x5 cards), so having those same people also process the 3x5 cards (without UPCs) is not incurring a significant increase in the cost of the promo.
