A Giveaway, Again? For a Third Time?

Yup.  Over at Marissa's Bunny, they still have a Halo Reach Xbox 360 to give away.  I just can't find a good home it seems.  The situation was...entertaining is a good word, after the last drawing.  I will simply quote the situation here.  Makes it much easier.


"If you don’t subscribe to our twitter feed, you missed a bit of drama yesterday.  The first winner, a 13 year old young man from the central US won the drawing, but his Father citing privacy concerns of his own refused to sign the paperwork accepting the consoles.  Reluctantly, we had to draw a second winner.

Congratulations to 71 year old Grandmother of 9 Peggle Helen from New Mexico.  In the spirit of the giveaway, she’s given almost everything in the bundle away.  One of the PS3s goes to the original winner, since now he won’t have to have his Father sign for it.  The second PS3 and the arcade xBox unit is going to her local Children’s hospital.  She’s keeping the Kinect, the Legendary Halo : Reach, and the Defiant map pack for her own pair of xBoxes she has and plays daily.

That leaves one thing.  The Reach xBox.  I’ll tell it in her own words from an email overnight.

“What the hell am I going to do with three xboxes, invite my other geriatric friends over for a party?  Do another giveaway, get more votes for your lovely little girl!”

Uh, okay.  It’s not such an epic bundle, but it’s still a fantastic prize.  We’ll call this one the “Grandma Gives Back” xBox giveaway.  Starting today and going until March 30th, and all going to one lucky winner, we’ve got:

  1. -A Reach Special Edition xBox 360 slim
  2. -A code for the Defiant Map Pack, courtesy 343 Industries

One person wins it all!"

So......Maybe the Xbox is cursed?  I mean, two people have passed on it.  Hey, maybe you can be the third person.  I'm sure the wonderful people over at Marissa's Bunny would love nothing more than to do another giveaway.....

To see how you can decide the fate of this unfortunate, homeless, lonely Xbox, look here.  Good luck to all that enter!  You have until Friday, the 1st of April, at noon to enter.
