The editor-in-chief giveaway: Win Ryan Block's video games

August 24, 2008

Filed under:


You know, when you're the editor-in-chief of a site like Engadget, you tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. Companies send you all kinds of interesting promotional materials, gadgets, swag, etc. It's great. Sometimes, though, you just let it pile up in your living room for years and years, then, when a new editor-in-chief takes over, you send all that stuff to him in about ten huge boxes. Luckily, we've got a way of dealing with this other than just throwing it in storage -- we're giving a ton of it away. That's right, you could be one of the lucky readers to win a massive stash of gear recently jettisoned toward New York by Mr. Ryan Block. Here's just a few things that are up for grabs in this round:

Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock (Xbox 360), Eye of Judgment + PlayStation Eye (PS3), Microsoft Flight Simulator X (Windows), Project Sylpheed (Xbox 360), The Matrix Online (Windows), Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire (PS3), Singstar (PS3), MLB 08: The Show (PS3), Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (PS3), Twisted Metal Black (PS2), Socom (PSP), Pursuit Force (PSP), Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow (PSP), Pokemon Pearl Vision (Nintendo DS), and more!

Interested? Here are the rules:
  • Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but a description of what percentage you plan to keep versus what you'll have to sell off, or any fond memory of a Ryan Block post is good too.
  • You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
  • If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  • Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  • Winner will be chosen randomly. That winner will get a massive amount of video games. Packages represent a brief history of Ryan Block's tenure as editor-in-chief. Approximate value is incalculable (but no more than $600).
  • Entries can be submitted until Friday, August 29th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
  • Full rules can be found here.

Don't like video games? You can still enter the drawing to win a bunch of Ryan's gadgets.
