CONTEST CURRENTLY ON HOLD. WILL RESUME IF WE EVER GET SOME ARTICLES GOING AGAIN.

It’s become clear to me that this site needs a serious kick in the ribs to get it going again. We’re pretty much we are out of articles, so drastic action is needed to keep this place from going belly up.  So, to cut right to the point, I’ve decided to have another contest.  Nothing lame this time though, I’m giving away one of these:

No, not a jpeg. An Xbox 360 Pro.

Yep, a brand new XBox 360 Pro.  Don’t look at me like that, I know I haven’t gone out and bought it yet (you’ll get a real picture when I do).  I want to make sure that people actually participate this time before buying the prize.  Also, I’m afraid this contest will be limited to participants in the US and Canada only (sorry guys, it’s expensive to ship overseas).

If you already own a 360 and you end up winning the contest, you can choose to receive a Wii instead (if I can actually find one, that is).  I honestly don’t know why anybody would want one though (that’s coming from someone who owns one).

So, how do you go about winning?  Here are the rules:

• Contest will run all throughout the month of March.
• Winner will be determined by a raffle ticket system.
• Create a new topic on a forum plugging this contest, get one ticket (please leave a comment on this post with a link to the post).  Limit one ticket per forum.
• Create a 100+ word blog post linking to this contest, get one ticket (please leave a comment on this post with a link to the post).  Limit one ticket per blog.
• Get an article published in March, get five tickets per article (that’s published, not submitted).
• I will contact the winner sometime in early April.  You have 5 days to answer me, or I will pick a new winner.  Once I’ve gotten things squared away with the winner, I will send them the prize.

So yeah, get the word out about the contest and write me some articles.  You may end up with a new console.
