Glad to see another spam bot won. Seriously all his posts are for freebies. Does he even read the sites?

Cmon man I got to win a 360 one of these days. I am still stuck in last gen.

Wont some rich person feel for my poor soul and buy me a nice new 360?

But seriously, they even made his name a hyperlink to his profile where you can clearly see he's been commenting for a few months...

For what it's worth, the vast majority of readers of X3F (or any website, really) do not leave regular comments. Also, while Derek hasn't left many comments, he's definitely a reader. We even answered one of his emails on the Fancast.

I guess my son will have to wait for that Wii then. Ahh well, if I can't trade in my regular 360 for anything snappier he'll just have to practice his Lightsaber skills until the day comes he can watch *me* play Force Unleashed...

...but only watch.

Boo, I didn't win. I was going to sell it on eBay and use the proceeds to buy a bunch of regular Xbox 360 stuff. xP

Congrats to the winner, though. It certainly is nice of you to give your old Xbox to a friend. Is your old Xbox a Pro or an Elite? Because you could probably get a transfer kit to transfer the contents of your old hard drive to your new one. It overwrites everything on your new hard drive, though, so be careful with that.

Congrats Derek,

It's good to see that someone else was going to bless their friend w/a 360. I'll keep trying to get my friend one. I hope your friend is appreciative! Be a blessing man! Be a blessing!

We try to have as many giveaways as possible so all of our loyal X3F Army members have a chance to score some cool gear. This time one guy got lucky over the others.

Now... GET HIM! lol... kidding

Bullshit contest and bullshit winner as always.I am not gonna bother entering these things anymore.I have done 20 contests on this site and have won shit.Hes gonna give it to his friend my ass.Hes gonna pop it up on ebay.I had intentions to give it to my little cousin who doesnt have a 360 but i guess this guys friend who fully capable of buying something most likely is better than a 12 year old kid with a dislocated shoulder.

I think its pretty funny reading all of the comments where people say they'll never enter again cause they entered 20 contests and didn't win. Boo hoo!

...And yes - I too become delusional thinking "This is the time! This is the one I will win!" When in reality let's say on this contest there were 6,000 entries. You made 5 of them yourself - one per day for 5 days. Brining your chances of winning to 1 in 1200. Those are actually pretty good odds compared to just about any other contest out there, but also... 1 in 1200 is still a long shot.

Think of it this way. Think of a number between 1 and 1200, then ask people all day long to guess it - or better yet - get your friend to think of a number between 1 and 1200 and see how many guesses it takes to get it. I'm guessing more than 1 guess which is exactly how lucky you'd need to be to win this contest!
