October 2 update: The *7* days of Bitmob Giveaways are now over. Congratulations to all the winners, and everyone who participated. Thanks for the support, guys!


Day 7, Tuesday

This is it! Wrapping up our "7 days of Bitmob Giveaways" promotion, we're giving out one prize package that contains all of the following:

  • 1 PlayStation 3 game
  • 1 Xbox 360 game
  • 1 Wii game
  • 2 PC games
  • 1 PSP game
  • 5 3DS games

These will be a random assortment from Bitmob's library (for some reason, we have a lot of leftover 3DS product -- go figure). For a chance to win all these games, you'll have to search for this icon somewhere on Bitmob (not counting the one you see here):

Here's a clue:

 

The green 3DS icon is at the bottom of an article that has appeared on the front page of Bitmob within the last month. But that's all we're going to tell you because we want you to work for this one!

If you find it, send the link to that post to letters [at] bitmob [dot] com with the subject head: Bitmob Giveaway Day 7. Make sure to include your mailing address in that email! (We promise we won't use it for anything other than to send you the goodies if you happen to win.)

If you do not live in the continental U.S., we won't be able to send these games to you unless you state in your email that you're willing to cover shipping (but note that these games may not be region-free -- we don't take any responsibility for that).

We will pick one winner at random this weekend and announce the results here. Good luck!

Day 7 winner: Nicole Bouchard


Day 6, Monday

We have five BloodRayne: Betrayal codes (Xbox 360) for our fans! You want one? You just have to find this clue on Bitmob somewhere....

We've hidden the above icon in a story that we published within the last week (not counting this one, of course). Find it, then email the link to us at letters [at] bitmob [dot] com with the subject head: Bitmob Giveaway Day 6. In a few days, we'll pick out five qualified winners at random, then email them a code to download the game for free!

Hint:

The article in question has a main image that contains a certain flying mammal that you could maybe say is related to one side of BloodRayne's family.

Day 6 winners: Carlos Reyes, Linda Wang, Jack Miao, Coburt Jordaan, and Ray Juanengo


Day 5, Friday

We have one copy of Codemasters' F1 2011 for Xbox 360 to give out, and we're including some KontrolFreek analog-stick attachments as a bonus (including Speed Freek, pictured below the screenshot).

For a chance to win this prize package, all you have to do is find the below green F1 icon in another racing-related post on Bitmob that's been published on the front page within the last three days, then email the link to that story (along with your mailing address) to letters [at] bitmob [dot] com with the subject head: Bitmob Giveaway Day 5 (we can only ship this prize within North America...sorry!).

This is the icon that you must find. Hop to it!

Day 5 winner: Marc Morrison


Day 4, Thursday

OK, see if you can follow along here.

Pokemon Trading Card Game Online is now in open beta at http://www.pokemontcg.com. The physical product, however, has an expansion called Pokemon Trading Card Game: Black and White -- Emerging Powers, which contains codes to unlock virtual cards in Pokemon TCGO to boost your online decks. And that's where we come in.

One Day 4 winner will receive two (2) Emerging Powers sets (containing both Theme Deck starter kits pictured above, plus eight 10-card booster packs -- enough for two players to get rockin' with everything and then some).

To get a shot at winning this hefty prize package, you will need to find a certain famous little monster on Bitmob....

We do a humor series here called Bitmob's Quality Assurance, and a well-known Pokemon is hiding in one of its installments. Find him, then email the link to that story (along with your mailing address) to letters [at] bitmob [dot] com with the subject head: Bitmob Giveaway Day 4.

In a couple of days, we'll pick out one qualified winner at random and send him all the Pokemon TCG goodies. Good luck!

Day 4 winner: Grant Lilleston


Day 3, Wednesday

Blockbuster wants to give one Bitmob fan a copy of Gears of War 3 for the Xbox 360, signed by the development team at Epic Games. (Yes, we know we just ran a Gears 3 contest below for Day 2, but we wanted to squeeze this in here while the game was still a baby on store shelves.)

(Click for a larger view.)

Why? Because Blockbuster wants to get the word out about their own promotion right now: Buy a copy of Gears of War 3 from any of their locations, and you will receive a free pass for unlimited in-store game or movie rentals for an entire month.

You want this signed edition? Here's how to enter:

1. Follow @bitmob on Twitter.

2. Tweet this message out:

7 days of gaming prizes from @bitmob, including a signed copy of Gears of War 3: http://t.co/8RT55mBK

Note: You can re-enter this contest by Tweeting that out again once per day until we announce a winner in this post (thanks, Brandon!). By the end of the week, we'll pick out one qualified winner at random and direct message him for his mailing address (that's why you need to Twitter-follow us).

And yeah, that means we don't have a hidden icon for you to find today. Our poor intern Samir Torres has been neglecting his wife while making these for us, and he made one for Day 3 before we decided to go the Twitter route. Here it is, so it doesn't go to waste. Sorry, Samir!

Day 3 winner: Danny Concepción


Day 2, Tuesday

We have three sets of Gears of War 3 "Go Commando" t-shirts, boxer briefs (clean, never worn), and bumper stickers. They're part of GameStop's National Go Commando Day promotion and...well, don't ask. We're not sure what these are about or why they exist, but we do know that we want the Gears underwear out of our possession ASAP.

To win one of these three sets (each containing all goodies mentioned above), you just have to find two Bitmob articles containing the below Gears icon (of course, this one you're looking at doesn't count). We've hidden two of these in two different posts...one more single-player focused, one more multiplayer-centric. Find 'em, then email the links to those pages to letters [at] bitmob [dot] com with the subject head: Bitmob Giveaway Day 2. Again, as a reminder, the search bar is your friend with these things. Tags, too.

Later this week, we'll pick out three qualified winners at random and send them their prizes. Note: We can only send these prizes within the continental U.S. (sorry!).

 

Day 2 winners: Chase Koeneke, Ronald Zimmerman, and Stan Omaye

 


Day 1, Monday

We've hidden this Warhammer icon in a Bitmob post containing a trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team.

Find that story (hint: search bar!) then send the link to letters [at] bitmob [dot] com with the subject head: Bitmob Giveaway Day 1. Later this week, we'll pick out two winners at random and send them a download code for Kill Team on Xbox Live Arcade!

 

Day 1 winners: Brandon Dithrich and Max Sobel

Sorry for anyone who commented earlier. That story became corrupt for some reason, and we couldn't edit it anymore, so we deleted it and created this new one. Same content...just the comments are lost.

Oh I wonder why my comment disapeared. No matter, it's just a comment it can be re-writtten. lol.

Come to mention it, when I made a comment yesterday it did have an error fart at me. I went back to the article though and saw that my comment was there so I thought nothing else of it. :)

Oh noes, it did another error fart at me! It says it's recording the error for you guys though so.... It wasn't me! :D

Yeah, sorry James. We need to fix that. If you comment and see an error...the comment still goes through. You just have to manually refresh that page to see it. :(

Does the Continental U.S. limit apply to all physical prizes, or just the Day 2 one?

So far, just Day 2 prizes. We'll always note it when necessary.

That Gears 3 copy would be awesome! Oh, and I vow to always use this in comments since it cost Samir time with his wife:

Ooo I'd love to win that copy of GoW3. My brother's birthday is coming up and it'd make a sweet gift for him as he's such a fan of Gears and it'd save me from buying him anything! Double win right?! :D

 

 Forgot to ask, is this signed by the guys at Epic, you guys or just random people off the street? Not that it matters really, I'm just interested. :)

Signed by various homeless people. Hope that's cool! (I'll clarify in the above text -- good question!)

Hey, that would be unique... weird, but unique!

There's still time to win some Gears of War 3 "Go Commando" swag from our day 2 giveaway. Everyone here could use new underwear.

*GASP* You never told me we had THESE. Just as well. I don't need my Pokemon card collection getting any bigger.

I...I still have card game league badges. That I wear, when new Pokemon games launch. /pathetic.

I promise not to post any pictures of me with my prize. You're welcome Bitmob.

"We have one copy of Codemasters' F1 2001 for Xbox 360 to give out,"

Codemasters must have had some incredible foresight to create a 360 game back in 2001.

For shame, Shoe. :)

September 26, 2011

Fixed. I can't tell you how many times I kept doing that! "F1 2001" just sounds so natural. :)

F101 is also a more natural-sounding abbreviation than F111.

It's still showing as F1 2001 for me. WEIRD.

Man, it's all Xbox (is that what Bitmob's green+white color scheme is about?).  Minus the cards.  I was pretty into the TCG about a year ago... ah well.

I kinda realized that...sorry! The Gears stuff was just good/bad timing, since that game just came out, and it's the hyped thing at the moment. Then it seems like most multiplatform codes we get are 95% for Xbox 360. F1 was just coincidence. But tomorrow's prize won't be 360, I promise!

Also, the green is for Bitmob. :)
