Win a WALL-E signed Xbox 360 and custom faceplate

[SpaceGhost2K]

We will be giving away one - ONE - of these consoles. The faceplate was designed by SpaceGhost2K and custom painted by MyPaintEffects. The Xbox 360 was made possible through a GRACIOUS donation by gh0st_r1der, who not only provided the console, but arranged for the entire development team to sign it as well. It took both sides AND the top to hold all the signatures!

Besides the awesome grand prize, which we believe will also include a copy of the game (we're confirming that right now), we'll also have other WALL-E prizes and a number of other collectible faceplates (including the Canadian Launch plates that NOBODY has, apparently). Kamshaft is amassing a swag stack of fantabulous proportions as we speak.

**EDIT** Update on the prizes. In addition to gh0st_r1der contributing this signed console, which is a Falcon BTW, that was signed by the team at Heavy Iron Studios, parent company THQ is also donating a number of copies of the game plus three "swag bags" that include WALL-E shirts, coolers and more. Plus MadCatz is contributing some other prizes for this increasingly massive faceplate database launch, and it looks like UbiSoft may be throwing in some prizes, too. WOO HOO!

Our TENTATIVE timeline is this:

NOW: Uploading plates to the database, constructing the viewer access part of the database. Shipping and hoarding the prizes. Also trying to get an answer from xbox.com and Xbox LIVE about covering the contest.

JUNE 17th: Database goes live. We NEED the community to check it over EXHAUSTIVELY! We will solicit feetback from the community here, most of which will concern getting the data right in the database. That will include acquiring/improving photos, tracking down missing information, and correcting erroneous information. It will most likely NOT concern the design of the database itself. We will focus upgrades to the actual mechanics of the database after the contest.

JUNE 24th: The GAME is out, and the CONTEST begins! Contest entries start being accepted. Two major requirements are 1) You have to be a member, which requires joining if you haven't already, and 2) You will enter your contact information following a link on the front page. There may be an age restriction. I have to check into that. If there is, it will be 13 or something. There may be other restrictions concerning a set amount of time to respond to the notification or another winner will be redrawn, OR that Xbox Addict reserves the right to cancel the contest or award alternative prizes at their discretion with no notice. ALSO, other community sites will be told about the contest, and hopefully the word will spread like wildfire. I told Kamshaft that I wanted more than three thousand entries in the drawing.

JUNE 27TH: The biggest movie of the 2008 is released. Period.

JULY 20TH: Contest entries stop being accepted at 11:59PM PST.

JULY 21ST: Winners will be selected and notified. Winners will be announced upon their notification.

And here's the prize. (Xbox and faceplate only, not the enormous fellow behind the console. :) )

[gh0st_r1der]

Actually the Xbox360 I'm giving is a FALCON (with 65nm CPU) with extra heatsink inside and BENQ DVD drive.
Those don't break.

[SpaceGhost2K]

Falcon A!

[SpaceGhost2K]

I noted the Falcon part in the original post, plus I added a note about a few other prizes that are confirmed. We have even more prizes that remain UNconfirmed, and we'll announce those as soon as they're locked down.

[dmiller68]

[mypainteffects]

Just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU to Space and gh0st_r1der for making this happen. I really appreciate their faith in me, and the chance to help out on such a project. I just wish my schedule and life allowed for me to get it completed in a more timely manner. Thanks again!

Hey, we asked a lot from you. I didn't plan far enough ahead, and gh0st didn't even know it was coming. I totally blindsided him with it. It was the two of you who totally pulled it off, and everything is where it's supposed to be with plenty of time.

[SpaceGhost2K]

Kamshaft and I are working on the entry form right now and we should have it accessable soon.

[SpaceGhost2K]

OK, an update on the contest. We've already had at least one person contact Kamshaft, upset that we weren't taking entries for the contest yet.

One thing most people don't know is how a website like this is run. It isn't run with a dozen people and a bunch of money from some corporate entity keeping them all employed. This is Kam, and a few volunteers who help out WHEN. THEY. CAN. That's it. This place is a lot more impressive when you know that.

However, it means that when real-life intervenes, plans don't always go forward as.. well, planned. In this case Kam's wife had a baby two days ago. He has a wife that needs attention plus a brand new baby girl, AND a three year old son who is a three year old son with a brand new baby sister, and all that implies. So if we miss the opening date of the contest, that's how it is.

One one hand, I'm sorry we didn't meet our date for the launch of the contest. On the other hand, the prizes we got were remarkable, unbelievable for a site like this. We've gotten wonderful cooperation from a number of organizations including THQ, MadCatz and Microsoft, not to mention some awesome efforts from the efforts of members gh0st_r1der, mypainteffects, and of course, Kamshaft.

Nothing changes about the contest except that it starts a day later. It still ends on July 20th, which is a LOT of time for people to enter and to get the word out. The prizes didn't change, except that we might ADD some more.

Here's a link to the page if you haven't seen it.

We'll make some noise when, hopefully tomorrow, we start taking names and kicking butt. Or something like that.

[Variation-XBA]

Kamshaft and I are working on the entry form right now and we should have it accessable soon.

Give us an update asap please~ :)

[PLAYMKR]

So how do you enter? I swear im reading this over and over and still cant find out how to enter. :bang:

So in my further reading, i take it the "entry page" is not finalized. No problemo.

[laughs]

Wow! How cool is that!?! gh0st_r1der

check the front page of this sub forum it will say where to enter in bold

[Symmetric-XBA]

who is goin to do the drawing for this contest? is someone from the site going to choose the winner? or is an outside source doing the drawing?

[SpaceGhost2K]

First, the contest entry form is now accessable, so everybody please enter!

(And let me know if you have any problems entering.)

Second, Kam has written a program to pull winners names out of the entries. We won't have anything to do with who it selects except notifying the winners.

Here is a summary of the prizes:


1) WALL-E custom faceplate and signed console, WALL-E prize package provided by THQ including a copy of the WALL-E game and the other items pictured on the contest page, and an HDMI adapter provided by MadCatz. Signed WALL-E console and custom faceplate made possible by a joint effort of XBA members gh0st_r1der, mypainteffects and SpaceGhost2K.

2) WALL-E prize package provided by THQ including a copy of the WALL-E game and other items pictured on the contest page, and an HDMI adapter provided by MadCatz.

3) WALL-E prize package provided by THQ including a copy of the WALL-E game and other items pictured on the contest page, and an HDMI adapter donated by MadCatz.

4) WALL-E game provided by THQ and a customizable NHL faceplate kit provided by MadCatz.

5) WALL-E game provided by THQ and a customizable NHL faceplate kit provided by MadCatz.

6) WALL-E game provided by THQ and a customizable NHL faceplate kit provided by MadCatz.

7) WALL-E game provided by THQ.

8) WALL-E game provided by THQ.

9) WALL-E game provided by THQ.

10) WALL-E game provided by THQ.

11) E305 plate, new and unopened (number range between #162 and #176 out of 5000 so they're super low numbers). Provided by Xbox USA.

12) E305 plate, new and unopened. Provided by Xbox USA.

13) E305 plate, new and unopened. Provided by Xbox USA.

14) Canadian Launch Plate (various numbers out of 158 made). Provided by Xbox Canada.

15) Canadian Launch Plate (various numbers out of 158 made). Provided by Xbox Canada.

16) Canadian Launch Plate (various numbers out of 158 made). Provided by Xbox Canada.

17) Canadian Launch Plate with printed signatures, (#15 out of only 42 made). Provided by Xbox Canada.

The signed console and custom plate package is easily worth more than $1000, and Tacohead has the limited Canadian Launch plates listed at lowdown411.com as being valued at $800 each. I think the more limited one might be worth more than that. I'd never even seen either one of them before I got them, unlike the War of the Worlds, X-Men, PREY and Moto GP '06 plates, which a couple of people in here own.

[Variation-XBA]

Wow, the prizes get better and better! July 20th is too far away
