The finer details:
-Single post wonders, spammers, rude or offensive remarks all result in a DQ.

Well, this is... different. :)

Here's hoping the new contests will get the desired results N4G management is trying to achieve!

It'll be interesting to see the cause / effect of this. :D

[movements]

This is neat.

[RockmanII7]

This will definitely draw a crowd.

[Pandemic]

Bloodmask will win the $250...

[-Alpha]

Omg, I want that PS Move bundle or $250!

I think I'll blog

[BusterFang]

Lol xD you probably could win it Alpha, judging by your bubbles and your previous post on articles :O

But this is definitely a good contest to have going on

Thanks for sharing CAT, just one question though, does this rule applies to all of the NewsBoiler sites of just N4G.

[Cat]

This is only the N4G contest - each of the NewsBoiler sites will handle their contests a little differently!

Cheers.

Just joined up, but use the site all the time. Just moved from Dublin, Ireland to Boston, getting settled in. Big PS3 gamer, though not online here yet (PSN id SKillerDublin) Just got my PAL PS3 to work here.

[Nineball2112]

I see you want that Move bundle starter kit! :D LOL A little self-promotion never hurt anyone though.

[AuToFiRE]

lol i already have one, i dont care if its a game or a bundle, if its the bundle im giving it to my girlfriend as a gift

[TheLastGuardian]

I have a Move Bundle already too. If I win 2nd or 3rd place I'm going to pick Gran Turismo 5.

[Joule]

Cat how do you qualify for the forum contest?

I am a very productive forum poster.:)

"Using a random generator engine"

This means I'll never win. LOL.

[TheColbertinator]

lol Hope you do you filthy WHORE XD

Good luck to you guys

[LostDjinn]

@That_Whore (I can't believe I just said that)- There's so much win in that statement.

@TheColbertinator- Well said. Good luck everybody.

[gaffyh]

is it this open to people worldwide?

[Cat]

Yes, like our past monthly contests this is open to everyone, if we need to change that in future monthly contests we'll let you know.

[LordMarius]

By the gods, a PS3 Move Bundle. ;_;

[redDevil87]

lol

[skynidas]

50 dollars for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place... Taking in account all the time that someone have to spend to get into those 3 spots, 50 dollars is nothing, but oh well let's see how N4G performs this month.

And the lottery ticket thing... lol.

[ironcreed]

Lottery idea seems pretty neat. Can't complain about having a chance to win a free game of your choice.

[Faztkiller]

Gonna be hard to get top 5 with Dial Up

[griff]

oh no.. I can't even pay my monthly bills.. let's see..

[MrMickeal]

I would love to sroove with the playstation move. So It would be the best if I win this contest.
