All the giveaways thus far have been Halo related, which is appropriate since this is the Halo 3 countdown week. Today’s giveaway is a little different though. I dedicate today’s card to everybody out there that has recently suffered from the Red Ring of Death. To every gamer that won’t be able to finish the fight on Tuesday because their Xbox 360 is temporarily visiting the repair center, this one’s for you.
Entering the giveaways is extremely easy. You simply have to leave a comment on the article of the item you are hoping to win. You may enter to win your favorite item, you may enter to win a few of the items, or you may enter to win all the items. Only your first comment per article counts (but you won’t be disqualified for commenting more than once) and winners for each item will be drawn and announced after 09.25.07.
Giveaway #5 : The Red Ring of Death Condolence Card
When people suffer a loss, they go through an emotionally trying time. It is important that your friends know that you support them and that you are there for them in their time of need. What better way to do that than with a condolence card. This is a modified version of my original Red Ring of Death Condolence card that Kotaku did a small blurb on. The red ring on the front is crafted out of brilliant red crystals and is a sight to behold. It took me about an hour to get those little gems in a state of circular perfection. Inside the card I did a little word play with “console” on this version which makes me giggle.

If you are a recent victim on the RRoD, this card will perhaps help ease your pain. If you have a gaming friend that is without a console right now due to this all too common phenomenon, you can thoughtfully send it to them. You can even keep it and simply ogle the beautiful red ring made out of crystals. I only hope it brings a smile to someone that is going through a difficult time. Stay strong, you will get through this.
*If you want to enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment. Entries will be accepted on all giveaways until 09.25.07. Good luck!

Lol, thank the Microsoft Gods that I have yet to experience the dreaded Red Rings.
I would definitely want to give this card to someone who had experienced this.. but maybe I might get the Red Rings of Death sometime? *shivers at thought*

Heh, nice. After so many flashes, it’s nice to see a ring that sparkles.
