Xbox 360 Giveaway

By | October 11, 2007 | Xbox 360 |


*Update 2 – There is no deadline for entries / the contest. The contest will end when all prizes are exhausted, and I expect it to last about 2 weeks, with a giveaway every 3-4 days.

*Update 1 – Wow, I have been getting so many responses, that my messenger is locking up a little. Add me as a friend, and then send me your name and main email, and you will be entered. I may be slow to respond, just a warning in advance!

It isn’t a frequent occurrence that I have something significant to give away. So, you can imagine how surprised I was when I discovered that I’d be able to give away an Xbox 360. You can’t argue with a free game console, especially when it’s free and benefits a good cause. Every instant message sent benefits the charity of your choice!

How to Enter:
To enter, follow these steps:
1. Visit http://im.live.com/messenger/im/home/?source=fsu and download Windows Live Messenger 8.1
2. Add one of the text codes below to your display name
3. Add as a friend and send a message to the following address:

LiveRepFSU@hotmail.com

Valid text codes:
   *red+u – American Red Cross
   *bgca – Boys & Girls Clubs of America
   *hsus – Humane Society of the United States
   *naf – National AIDS Fund
   *mssoc – National MS Society
   *9mil – ninemillion.org
   *sierra – Sierra Club
   *help – StopGlobalWarming.org
   *komen – Susan G. Komen for the Cure
   *unicef – U.S. Fund for UNICEF

Once you’ve done that, you’ll be automatically entered into every raffle and every prize – an Xbox 360 isn’t the only thing I have to give away! Additionally, for every person you refer, you’ll receive an extra contest entry – with no limit to the number of people you can refer. You’ll simply have to direct them to this page to download Windows Live Messenger and have them message LiveRepFSU@hotmail.com with one of the above text codes in their display name. It might sound complicated, but it’s really quite easy!

The prizes include:

1st place: A brand new Holiday Xbox 360 Pro Bundle* (comes with Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance)

2nd place [2 winners win both]: Brand new copies of Project Gotham Racing 4 and Blue Dragon.

Random Giveaways: Crash of the Titans, Timeshift, F.E.A.R and F.E.A.R. Files expansion pack.

Special thanks to our sponsors – Sierra, and the Windows Live Messenger team at FSU!

*Already own an Xbox 360? Don’t worry, we can substitute the grand prize with something of equal or lesser value. Feel free to repost this on any site, they do not need to be redirected here to enter.

    This is a wicked giveaway! Thanks.

  • Darren Brown

    I just wanted to thank you for doing this giveaway as many many will do this and save many lives because to be honest everyone likes to get things free. I don’t expect to win this so I’m not going to follow the rule of only adding one text code. I could make a case for each fund and its to hard to just just pick one. So I’m going with all of them in my name and going to support them all. Thanks again.

    Is the “*codehere” supposed to turn into an “i’m” graphic?
