Reminder: win the ultimate Halo 3 setup from X3F
by Jared Rea 
{ Sep 17th 2007 at 2:15PM }
We're talking about a 50" Panasonic 1080p plasma television, a Bose 3-2-1 GSX surround sound system, and an Xbox 360 Elite gaming console. The only thing missing from this baby is a crate full of Mountain Dew Game Fuel. To enter, simply leave a comment over at Xbox 360 Fanboy and cross your fingers. The winner will be chosen at random but you can enter once per day to improve your odds.
Do it today. And then again tomorrow. The Chief deserves more than RCA quality.

I never win anything.
i WORK for stuff. I hate people that WIN stuff.

I won a freezer about a year and a half ago from the grocery store. I didn't even know I had entered a contest, either. I just got a letter in the mail saying I won a freezer and to come by and pick it up.
It was huge. I had to give it to my parents since I had absolutely nowhere to put it.
But yeah...I figure I blew all my luck load on that. Shame, too. I'd much rather win this or the lottery.

I never win either... I hope I can win this time a DS Lite and a game with this image.

Samfish why would you blow all your luck load all over the freezer. You ruined a perfectly good freezer.

X3F is absolutely the best setup for an X-box I have ever seen!
DaMan09 @ Sep 18th 2007 12:52AM
The only thing I ever won was a GBA at its launch. I think I am overdue to win something :D
Jake @ Sep 17th 2007 2:22PM
That isn't the best setup. Plasma TV's typically have a slower response time than LCD's. It is almost like some extra lag that the TV causes. A 50" LCD would have been better and LCD's are kind of the defacto gaming television.
I could be wrong. Maybe this particular plasma suffers from negligible response lag. But you could have likely gotten a better gaming setup for the same money.

Vegnagun @ Sep 17th 2007 2:29PM
Or so you claim.
felixlighter @ Sep 17th 2007 2:30PM
It'll do I think...
Jonah Falcon @ Sep 17th 2007 2:31PM
The guys at XB360 FB won those items, by the way. They didn't purchase them, so if you have an issue, take it up with Gaia.
Jonah Falcon @ Sep 17th 2007 2:27PM
Should mention it's USA only, Jared.
MCosta @ Sep 17th 2007 7:25PM
X3F for life
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 17th 2007 2:27PM
A Elite?,Why not a Halo 3 XB360?
BTW did anyone else watched the spoiler in youtube?
Jonah Falcon @ Sep 17th 2007 2:28PM
I'd much rather have an Elite over a Premium, thanks.
The odd thing is this setup doesn't come with Halo 3 -- and the winner is announced a week after the game's release.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 17th 2007 2:33PM
Well is still neat but I rather have a premium especially if you plan to play it in a daily basis,every Elite I have seen so far has the RRoD.
But for a contest a Halo 3 xb360 would be better.
Well thats my 2 cents.
T3H WICKERMAN @ Sep 17th 2007 5:44PM
THEY WON THIS STUFF IN OUR WEBSITE CONTEST A MONTH OR TWO AGO FROM EA. Fuck beggars can be choosers! It was a wing commander tournament between the major 360 sites and Dunners kicked the shit out of the competition so several lucky bastards on X3F/joystiq can win it!
Vegnagun @ Sep 17th 2007 2:28PM
I got my machete and hunting gun and I'm ready to mow down pandas.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 17th 2007 2:39PM
Machete?, Hunting gun? Phfff
In my times we hunted Pandas using nothing but a torch, bow and a bunch of arrows, sometimes we killed them with our bare hands oh and the pandas in my time were 10ft tall, we call them dinosaurs but the church doesn’t want you to know about that.
riggs @ Sep 17th 2007 2:43PM
i would like to see you shooting a bow and arrow with a torch in your other hand XD
Vegnagun @ Sep 17th 2007 2:46PM
You don't think I know? I'm keeping up with the times. Why I remember when I had to kill 50 pandas using only my hair and a toothpick. I fashioned a make-shift explosive out of the two of them, and tossed it deep into the crowd. It only took down a few so I had to get in there and get my hands dirty. I took out whole families of pandas, I didn't spare a single one.

eww bose speakers

I was planning on getting my first HDTV this summer, but then my wife said I had to waste all the money I saved up on a new baby. Priorities.
Shagittarius @ Sep 17th 2007 6:30PM
Crack that whip.
Kye (NDF - Earth Ring) @ Sep 17th 2007 2:33PM
What? No copy of the game or Halo-themed 360?
Jonah Falcon @ Sep 17th 2007 2:43PM
There is no Halo-themed Xbox 360 Elite.
Maybe they should make one - and make it purple like The Arbiter. You know - a Covenant Elite-themed Elite.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 17th 2007 2:46PM
I agree a covenant XB360 elite would be awesome but I'm sure he means the limited edition Halo XB360.
Vegnagun @ Sep 17th 2007 2:49PM
Yes Jonah there is a halo themed 360 is green and orange. It's not elite though.
Vegnagun @ Sep 17th 2007 2:55PM
it's*
Colton @ Sep 17th 2007 2:34PM
im gonna go do that now
Matt @ Sep 17th 2007 2:36PM
Hook me up!
WiNG @ Sep 17th 2007 2:38PM
Im going to enter.
Then I will sell it all and invest it.
Yep, that's right. If you lose you can be even more upset that if I'm the winner, I will just be tossing these toys.
Neil Marr @ Sep 17th 2007 2:40PM
Sure, I'll take it.
t_m @ Sep 17th 2007 2:41PM
US only competitions suck. meh.
samfish (MSDF- Nurse Outfit!) @ Sep 17th 2007 2:43PM
ONLY 50"?!
Christ...what cheap bastards! But I *GUESS* it'll HAVE to do.
riggs @ Sep 17th 2007 2:44PM
that would actually be a great idea +5
WiNG @ Sep 17th 2007 2:47PM
Buying a plasma TV is a giant waste of money, almost as much as buying an expensive car. Actually, it's more of a waste than that.
Andrew T. @ Sep 17th 2007 2:48PM
Me never wins anything. waahhh. :( *sniff*
Matt B (SDF ) @ Sep 17th 2007 2:53PM
Looks more like the ultimate 360 setup. There is no Halo anything in that package unless my eyes deceive me.
mfed3 @ Sep 17th 2007 2:56PM
win

The ultimate equipment to finish the fight with!

put me in coach
Peter @ Sep 17th 2007 4:24PM
How the hell is a fake surround sound simulation the "Ultimate Halo 3 Setup"???!?!?!??!?
Franssu @ Sep 18th 2007 7:32AM
a Bose system ? How on earth can you call this crap "ultimate" ? Even a venturer 5.1 HTIB system will sound better than that.
Anyway, I would have loved to participate in this draw (to keep the 360 elite and resell the rest), except... I live in Canada. Oh, well, I'll return playing 360 on my measly 92" screen.
