Free Product Giveaway: Xbox 360 Pro Console, LIVE Membership, Messenger Kit
The drawing is now closed. Last month, at the Streaming Media West show, the generous folks from the Xbox team provided us with a bunch of great giveaways. While the items went fast, I still have one Xbox 360 unit that was never given away which will now go to one lucky reader of my blog. The winner will get one Xbox 360 Pro console, a 12 month membership card to the Xbox LIVE service, 1600 Microsoft points and an Xbox 360 Messenger Kit. Winner: Douglas S. from Austin, TX.
In order to make sure the unit goes to a reader of the blog and not some high-school kid who happens to come across my blog, you must leave one post in the comments section below with you name and a link to your company website, LinkedIn page, Facebook page etc... something that proves to me your not some kid just trying to strike it rich. I will pick one lucky reader at random at the end of the month and ship it out. The drawing is only open to U.S. residents.
A BIG thanks to the Xbox team for the great giveaways and for making this possible!

Thank you for this amazing website and awareness on emerging technologies. One of the most exciting things coming is everything will be through a TV! I haven't had the chance to mess with streaming netflix, twitter/facebook updating through an Xbox as I just have a Wii so far that connects through the TV. As with my job I am constantly finding new ways of using music with many outlets and after doing a few things with gaming syncs this is the next step and nothing would help more in my quest of trying to save the music business than this Xbox to help the staff here learn and help with content streaming and using the Xbox for that purpose. I will promise to have fun as well.
Thanks!

I would like to be a part of your giveaway, however I do not have a facebook page or other web page. I am not in high school. I am closer to 40 than I want to be. Hope that is enough to get a chance to win. Thanks.

Hello Dan,
Started reading your blog this year once I began researching online video after becoming displaced in March. I have a blog of my own, hope you don't mind a link to a post last month about X-Box. Looking forward to more great insight and giveaways.

Dan, I've been a fan of your analysis for years. I'm also a fan of Xboxes and all sort of other toys. This is a beautiful combination of the two. Thanks!

TV and the Internet are going to collide in a wonderful way, and I'd love to get a sneak peek at one of those ways with the xBox 360!

Dan,
The Wii, is getting boring, I could use an Xbox instead!
