Bitmob Giveaway: Wii Sports Resort Beach Towels
By Dan Hsu in Wii Sports Resort, contest, Bitmob Giveaway on Jul 21, 2009
We know you guys love art books. You made that very clear in the comments in our last three Bitmob Giveaways.
But do you love...towels?
Nintendo recently stopped by with Wii Sports Resort for a press-only contest to see which outlet would score the highest amount of points and win some giant bronze Wiimote trophy. Turns out I still suck at the game, although oddly enough my previously worst event, 3-point shooting, is now one of my best. Nintendo hasn't announced a winner yet, but it's certainly not me/Bitmob.
Anyway, while here, Nintendo dropped off some really nice Wii Sports Resort beach towels to give away to our readers. They're huge and made out of some super-soft space-age material only Nintendo could afford with all its soccer-mom money and that cats seem to love.
The wrinkles are because I just unpacked this towel -- and I don't iron prizes. Sadie the cat is not included.
Just comment below and we'll pick out three (3!) winners at random before Tuesday, July 28. Continental U.S. only, void where prohibited, and you must be registered on Bitmob with a real name and email address.
By the way, congrats to Ronald Zimmerman for winning the Dark Sector art book.

By the way...my cat somehow knew to wake up from her nap just in time to get in the way and sit on this giant thing I was laying out...as cats tend to do. I didn't place her in this picture. But it turned out for the better.
GO TOWELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will drive down from San Rafael on a work day to get the prize and meet you guys since I couldnt go to the Bar thingie you guys had.
But next BitMob thing you guys have (social Gathering) I will be there.

I was completely going to go. but I had friends coming to the bay so I had to assume the morally obligatory "San Francisco Tour Guide" role.
Next time though, next time !

@Joshua The Buckshot's much more fun than tourist traps like Pier 39. It's cheaper, too! And there's a lot of good eats (like Brothers Korean BBQ and Hard Knox) on or along Geary.
Nothing brings out the comments like free swag! And boo I need to pay more attention to BitMob posts about community gatherings. I'm from the Bay Area and always down for a bar night.
The Soul Calibur 4 T-shirt I won at the meet-up was already covered in Sadie the cat's hair, but I just don't feel it was enough for me. You see, I collect cat hair, but only when it's attached to swag.

Please tell me about this Buckshots, I am new in San Francisco, but not so new that I couldnt show everyone a good time.
What are those BuckShots?
Why is it cheap, and yeah Pier 39 sucked, but they wanted to go to the Magnetron stores and the stupid RocketBoat.

@Joshua: Buckshot is where we had the Bitmob meetup the other week. I also highly recommend the place. It's cheap because $3 for Blue Moon all night is cheap.
As for other places on Geary...I think I'd steer you down to the Mission instead. Best restaurants and bars block-for-block than any other place in the country, in my opinion.
And um, what the heck is a Magnetron store? Sounds like an ill-conceived Transformer...
P.S. Shoe, don't count this as a contest entry. Just helping out a fellow San Franciscan.

I prefer prizes to come pre-covered in pet hair, as my dogs soon get the job done anyway.
Good luck to all.

Magnetron is the stupid Refrigerator Magnet store on Pier 39.
It's basically a big Keychain/Refrigerator Magnet/I

I could have used a towel last weekend. Better late than never though.
@Joshua you should try out the Mayflower in San Rafael. Its a pretty good pub.

@Chris Thanks, I am new here and Im trying to get to know the places, to go and eat here.
@EVERYONE in the bay
If you guys wanna hang out or whatever, shoot the shit about games and stuff, let me know, I dont have many friends to hang out here in NorCal. Bars and Restaurants in SF are cool to go.

Oh man, all this conversating is gonna make it hard for me to strip out duplicate names for the random drawing.
Bah! Lousy residency rules! I would love a towel, but I'm in Mississauga, Canada! Enjoy your soft warmness American winners!
There are three things I love about life: hot rod... hot dog... and hot muthaf***ing boys! That beach towel is pretty awesome too...I suppose.
Johnny V needs a new towel! My kittens keep peeing on the ones I leave on my bathroom floor! Plus, Max is an internet celebrity!
I needed a towel for Cancun too. Please let me get that towel! You know how much chicks dig Wii *cough* Wii Fit girl *cough*.
My bf just spelled understand as anderstand. I lollllllllled and i want that towel!!! DO U ANDERSTAND THAT!? jk but its a cool towel!
My dad would throw his back out if I got this for him. Well, he'd do it anyways, but it's still an accomplishment.
Having just gotten back from a float down the Illinois River, I truly appreciate the miracle of a nice beach towel. Hope I win.
I know I just won an art book, which I appreciate very much. But, I must have that towel. I'll be the coolest guy on the beeyotch!
I could use a good beach towel. Is the game out and I overlooked it, or are we nearing release? I feel like Nintendo kind of forgot they were making this game until just recently.
If there was a keyboard in that picture then I think Nintendo would have the craziest cross-promotional viral image ever.
The towel is really cool! I definitely would love another one to carry to the pool! (My kitty has already stolen my current pool towel).
I wonder if all these witty comments have any impact towards Shoe's choice of the winner. We shall see...
It's really random! I'll take out duplicate names then use a random number generator. Witty comments are nice, but they won't help your chances.
Whoa! I love the graphics and I'm sure my cat would be stoked to layout on something that just might remind her of what warm summers were. Moving to the Bay Area has been a frosty affair for my cat and me.
I have three cats, one is nervous wreck(Micho), the second has an abnormally small head(Pinche, yes as in the spanish curse word), and the third is deaf, and he likes sharp edges to poke himself on(Wero). I'd love to have a towel they can pose on as well
