[Highlite23-XBA]

So after a long process and $2000 plus of winnings we crowned a Grand Prize winner tonight.

Bunny Rabbit, aka, Ryan, was the last man standing in what turned out to be a very exciting finally to the 5 month giveaway.

Along with his qualifing booty that he won, he will also be receiving a brand spankin new Xbox 360 Premium bundle with a 12 month XBL Gold account courtesy of XBA.

I would like to thank everyone who participated and our freinds in the gaming biz, who provided us with all the goodies we gave away. As alway, XBA is nothing without it's members and we always try our damndest to give back for the ongoing support.

So let's all give a big Congrats to Bunny Rabbit, and keep an eye out for the next opportunity to win some cool stuff.

Look for a few words from our winner on the main page in a few days, he was a little excited right after the contest and needed to gather his thoughts. :cheers:

Thanks again form Steph and Tony, Game On!

prehaps the people that "run" the site should update the contest and giveaways section, rather than putting stuff in this very scarce sub section..

putting contest stuff on the contest page.. wow what a concept

lol, I agree the contest page needs to be updated, a contest for 2004 is a little old :D

[Highlite23-XBA]

Your right, we'll get right on that, sorry for the lack of maintenence. Now can you offer some Congrats to the winner? :p

Tony & Steph,

I've said this so many times that I probably don't need to say anything anymore, you guys get the idea, lol....THANK YOU GUYS for doing this. Allowing us to even be in the grand prize was more than enough for me. I am not a greedy person, and I am happy with the stuff I won for the monthly contest that was going on. This site has grew so much and am happy for XBA. You guys manage to bring out new ideas to make it what it is today.

I understand the hard work you guys do and that right there is greatly appreciated by myself. It's an honor to be a member of this forum since it has been built up from nothing to a very huge and clean community.

Once again, Thanks for a great 5 years!


Bunny,

Congrats buddy. Of course anyone would like to win, but I was just happy to be in this contest with you and the rest of the members. It was exciting, and would love to do something like this again. I think we all together made the best of it and I think that's what made it so much fun. Don't kill yourself waiting for that day that baby comes to your house! Haha.

[George89]

Thanks so much Tony and all of the XBA staff for my prizes, and congrats to BunnyRabbit for winning the grand prize :)

[Shadow20002]

I got disconnect in the middle but anyway, congratulations Bunny, hope you will enjoy the Xbox 360 as much as XBA! :)

[JediMasterChief]

OK, I'll make my post a bit shorter than Xbox Masta's.

As always, a big thank you to Tony, Steph, and everyone else at XBA! Congratulations to Bunny Rabbit (put that X360 to good use). In the end, we're all winners. And I can't wait for the games and other stuff I won earlier!

[wbio]

Yes, congrats Bunny :cheers:

[m4oH]

Man congrats bunny, I think I will be participating in the next contest/giveaway.

[Jackyboy]

wow nice prize, congrats bunny

[Ninjermy]

Rabbit is the man. We made a small deal before the draw and since he won I get 50$ w00t! :cheers: to you rabbit mang!

[BananaMan]

congrats brotha.

[Liquid Gears]

Wow, it's taking long enough for the prizes to arrive. What's the deal? HURRY UP!!

[Xbox Masta 4]

I am not sure who is sending your item out, whether it be Stephen or direct but just take your time. I wouldn't really expect it soon. It appears Stephen is very busy, and he wouldn't even reply to me on AIM last time. I haven't got my prizes from August, but I will wait patiently for them. One person says there ship, then the other says they haven't. Hopefully things work out and everyone gets what they've waited for. I would just suggest waiting patiently as well and it will soon enough come.

[JediMasterChief]

I haven't received my prizes yet either. C'mon! I won in August and it's now January. Have the prizes really been sent out? I know it's all free, but it's never taken so long for prizes from XBA to reach me.

Hopefully the prizes will come soon. I've tried to IM and PM Tony several times, but haven't gotten any reply.

[Highlite23-XBA]

To all of the winners, I know I have directed many of you to "Others" to confirm whats going on, but i have confirmed that all prizes have been shipped. Now I can confirm that they actually all shipped on Friday, sorry.

So, everyone got an additional game for the controller fiasco, and all trades that winners notified me of were taken care of. The shipment went regular shipping so some of you will have to wait a few weeks, others should recieve items within a week or 2, everything was shipped from Canada, so please keep that in mind. To be honest, the shipping bill was pretty hefty, I think thats what caused the delay more than anything.

So there's the scoop. :)

[Ninjermy]

Well at least they are on their way! Boy I'm glad I live in Canada to :cool:

[JediMasterChief]

Friday? Tony, you told us during the Grand Prize draw that the prizes had already shipped. I guess it was just a case of misinformation.

It's generally not a problem. But hopefully they'll arrive soon.

[BunnyRabbit]

Ive got my 360! Thank you XBA! =) <3

[Shadow20002]

Prices received today! :)

Thank you XBA!

[The Jackal]

Just got mine today! Thanks XBA. The game to replace the control looks pretty good to. Only weird thing was the soundtrack had no factory wrapping or anything and the inside thing that holds the disc in place was broken :huh:

[vman]

YAY!!! I got my prizes today!!! XBA, i thank you!

[Wolf]

me 2.

[George89]

yay i just got my prizes today :) THANKS XBA :) :) :)

[Highlite23-XBA]

Glad to hear everyones packages are arriving, and thank you again for your patience.:)

[BunnyRabbit]

Frackit! Mine arrived while I was at work and I hope they dont send it back to Canada...

[JediMasterChief]

I haven't received my prizes yet. But given that I live in Europe, I could probably expect that. Hopefully they'll arrive soon. As long as I know the prizes have been sent off.

EDIT: I got the prizes today. Thank you XBA! (especially Tony and Stephen)
