XBINS GiveAway Contest
Posted by Iriez | June 25 00:13 EST | News Category: (default)
 
From a xbins announcement ...
[QUOTE]
In celebration of our 5 year anniversary, with over 2 million unique visits, xbins is proudly presenting the first xbins contest! As the center of all xbox homebrew, we still thrive today in providing developers support to contribute publically to this large scene. We must first give our most expressed thanks and appreciation to our sponsor http://www.modchipman.com who is providing the prizes for this competition.

Here's how the contest is going to work:

Various 'items' are going to be randomly hidden on our FTP server. Inside these item's will be a code. Once you find one of the item's, you will enter the code inside(just open the file with notepad to get the code) into the code box with your email at the bottom of this page. Once that code is submitted, it will no longer be valid. One prize per person. The contest will begin at 3pm PST on Saturday June 30th, and will last for 3 hours. You will need to join our channel #xbins on Efnet, IRC in order to participate. You may learn how to do that here . I want to note that the channel will be left unmoderated so that people can actually talk in the channel...something not done in quite a few years ;)

The prizes are as following: 1 $100 giftcard, 2 $50 dollar giftcards, 2 Liquid Metal Ghost Xbox360 cases, 6 Xbox360 faceplates, 5 XCM xbox1 ruby cases, 5 xbox1 clear cases.

You can view the contest page here

I think this contest is a little bit stupid, for 1 reason...

Everyone will be downloading files looking for these codes, and it will put a huge load on the server, slowing it to a halt for users who actually need the files on xbins.

Still, might be interesting, lets just see how it goes.

I wonder if they will take off the download limit, I believe you got banned/suspended/kicked or something if you d/led more then 20-30 items. This will be interesting.

LoL! I hardly doubt that we will get several million hits at once, seeing that it took us quite a few years just to build up the 20-30 million visits we've had

Congratulations Xbins for serving the scene for 5 years, and good luck everyone in the contest.

I'd really like to snag one of those gift cards for a brand new Blaster360 and some other stuff, but I'd settle for a case too smile.gif

How is this gonna work? Is it gonna be a drawing, where you enter a code to be entered into the drawing, or if you get a code are you automatically a winner?

No, we will not. You will know what the files are when you see them. They will not be contained in other files, they will be plain text files that will be obvious to the finder. Trust me on it. I wont give more details, just accept what i have to say.

With 2 million unique visitors and 20-30 million visits, that says people are coming back for more. Always a plus smile.gif

No, but amazon is able to handle far more visitors at a time than you wink.gif

I wish you luck. All I know is that I won't even try. Too many people... the odds of me winning are low sad.gif
