Spreading the Xbox love

By Mir

May 2, 2011

Y’all know I’m a Wii gal, because I am not what you would call a serious gamer. Those serious gamers, though, assure me that Xbox is where it’s at.

So I have something Xbox-y for today’s contest, but if you don’t actually have an Xbox, yet, allow me to point out that Amazon is running a crazy Xbox special right now wherein you get 1600 free Xbox 360 Live Points (no, I don’t have any idea what those are) and $50 off with purchase. Definitely worth checking out if you’ve been considering one—they have several models from which to choose, either with or without a Kinect.

Okay! Assuming you already have an Xbox, or you’re thinking of buying one, today’s item-up-for-grabs is… a card for a 12-month gold subscription to Xbox Live. Why is this good? I have no idea, but several of my Xbox-devoted friends assure me that it really is. Okay, then.

Want to win this here gold card (which is actually green; apparently Xbox isn’t terribly literal with the colors…)? First, go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, May 5th, 2011 for a chance to win. I’ll choose the winner via random number generation and possibly interpretive dance (seeing as how the contest ends on Cinco de Mayo, and all).

Ready? Go!

JenLo on May 2, 2011 at 2:56 pm

Really, really want to win this!
Mary on May 2, 2011 at 3:01 pm

I’ve never actually used our XBox, but the husband and kids like it, and they use the XBox Gold membership for…something, so hey, it would be great to win this!
Ellie W. on May 2, 2011 at 3:02 pm

Oh! We are xboxers in my house!
Beth on May 2, 2011 at 3:08 pm

We’re an XBox family – this woud be a big score for us!
Liza on May 2, 2011 at 3:11 pm

I want the Kinect so badly I can taste it. Even though I barely speak video game. This would be a tool in my quest to become an xboxing family.
Karen on May 2, 2011 at 3:13 pm

Awesome, our current subscription is up this month! Coincidence? I think not!
liv on May 2, 2011 at 3:14 pm

This would win best wife ever! Please, random integer selecter, pick me! 🙂
Laura on May 2, 2011 at 3:31 pm

We love our X box and kinect! We’ve never had Xbox live because I’m too cheap
Winning would solve that!
Jen B on May 2, 2011 at 3:32 pm

My husband & son use X-Box Live to play their bang-bang games… would love to not have to pay for it for a year! LOL
Kate on May 2, 2011 at 3:36 pm

This would mean my boys could play together. In their separate rooms. Sick, I know. But less punching!
Monique on May 2, 2011 at 3:37 pm

I NEED this! My husband would love me ever so much more if I can present this to him! Come on RNG!! Pick me!
Rachel on May 2, 2011 at 3:41 pm

Robin on May 2, 2011 at 4:07 pm

oh my gosh. My boys just finally saved up enough of their own money to go in together for an X-Box 360 & we just got in on the Amazon deal you mentioned. An X-Box Live membership would be the icing on the cake. Pick me pretty Mir!
Kacy on May 2, 2011 at 4:10 pm

since I got an xbox for Chirstmas, and no I didn’t ask for it nor do we have kids over the age of 5… this could be interesting!
Sandra on May 2, 2011 at 4:11 pm

Awesome!
Kacy on May 2, 2011 at 4:39 pm

I swear I’m not the same Kacy as the one a couple posts above me! BUT, I have sat out on many of your giveaways so that I could save up all my luck for one like this. My membership just went out a week ago and this would make things a lot cheaper for me. Fingers crossed!
Leeanna on May 2, 2011 at 4:39 pm

oh my son would be thrilled!!
Corey Bishop on May 2, 2011 at 4:43 pm

Thinking of cheating on my Wii anyway…

Of course when I need something done I have to wait and wait……
Damsel on May 2, 2011 at 4:52 pm

My hubby would love this! Thanks!
beth s on May 2, 2011 at 5:07 pm

divrchk on May 2, 2011 at 5:08 pm

I love my Xbox. Another year of Gold would be fabulous.
Pamela on May 2, 2011 at 5:09 pm

If I play on the Xbox, does that make me a serious gamer? That would be very cool. Also probably news to my husband, the serious gamer.
steven lee on May 2, 2011 at 5:11 pm

We need netflix on our other tvs!
Kelli on May 2, 2011 at 5:13 pm

Wow! Would love this! Would it be wrong to slip it in with my son’s birthday gifts??? Nah..
tiffany on May 2, 2011 at 5:13 pm

Heather on May 2, 2011 at 5:17 pm

I’d like to say that I’m commenting to maybe win this for my kids, but it will actually be my husband that will use it. Early Father’s Day gift!!
Suzy on May 2, 2011 at 5:24 pm

Leah on May 2, 2011 at 6:42 pm

On Cuatro de Mayo my baby turns 11 and he would flip out for a xbox gold membership. He would probably even clean his room; I am not joking!
Anna on May 2, 2011 at 7:07 pm

Cheri on May 2, 2011 at 7:14 pm

saslabebs on May 3, 2011 at 8:21 am

X-box among others in our house.
joe on May 3, 2011 at 8:34 am

Xbox is amassing and probably has the best games on the market fallowed up by PS3. I have played both consoles and love Xbox, but it sucks having to pay for Xbox live every month because i am a broke college student. buy one if you haven’t, don”t get kenect it gets old fast and dose not have a lot of titles out. it was just made to compete with Wii for the motion gaming market.
Cindy on May 3, 2011 at 8:54 am

Yeah! I love your giveaways. Both my boys play XBox..
susan on May 3, 2011 at 8:57 am

My oldest has been bugging me for this!
Jackie Wishert on May 3, 2011 at 9:01 am

Between 3 nephews, we have several game systems. X-box is good.
Robin on May 3, 2011 at 9:11 am

Patti Coiner on May 3, 2011 at 12:51 pm

I really really really need to win this one! I have a serious gamer (19 yr old son) that is about ready to purchase another one of these. If I could give it to him a few months early for a birthday gift, HE WOULD THINK THAT I WAS THE BEST MOM EVER!
Enough said.

Debbie Williams on May 3, 2011 at 9:50 pm
