Free Stuff Friday - 'Not at Comic Con' prize packs (Busy Gamer News)

Free Stuff Friday - 'Not at Comic Con' prize packs

Scott Pilgrim poster Not at Comicon poster Serenity Float Out Hellboy book and figurine Dark Horse Comics and our local Seattle comic shop, Comics Dungeon, threw a little party for those of us unable to attend San Diego Comic Con and we picked up some cool prizes to pass along to our busy gamer friends (many of whom are also big comic fans). Plus, GrrlGotGame threw in some extra comics she's finished or mistakenly bought twice, making this week's giveaway a great one for 1-3 lucky winners!

There are three prize packs. Depending on how many entries you submit (up to four with bonus entries!) and how lucky you are, you could conceivably win all three:

Prize Pack 1 (Hellboy pack): Hellboy Seed of Destruction Book and Figure Boxed Set (pictured above), Hellboy B.P.R.D. poster, Legendary graphic novel preview, Aliens #1, American Vampire #1-4, Demo #1 and Daytripper #1

Prize Pack 2 (Joss Whedon pack): Serenity Float Out "Wash" one shot (pictured above) and Angel Blood & Trenches #1-4 full mini-series

Prize Pack 3 (Poster pack): 'Not at Comic Con' and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World posters (pictured above)

Here's how to maximize your chances and maybe win more than one!

Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do.
Tweet the following on Twitter: Win a 'Not At Comic Con' prize pack at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast! RT + enter: http://bit.ly/dkgxWo #bgnfsf #SDCC
Review (or re-review) our Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes
Review (or re-review) the Best of Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes. This is a short audio highlights feed with our reviews, audio tours and other timeless bits.

If you do 2, 3 and/or 4 (and why wouldn't you?), you do need to let us know your Twitter/iTunes name(s) in your comment so we can find, verify and include your bonus entries in the drawing and match them up to contact you if one of them wins. If we can't easily tell who you are on Twitter and/or iTunes, the bonus entry is disqualified.

You DO have to enter a comment here and follow the other rules to be eligible. Here's how to enter:

Simply post a comment on this page and SAY WHICH PRIZE PACK(S) YOU'RE PLAYING FOR. We need at least a first choice and, if you do bonus entries, you might include a second choice in case you're insanely lucky! (You can do the other things listed above if you want to earn some extra chances to win.) Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.

NOTE: If you play for extra chances on Twitter or by posting podcast reviews on iTunes, you still have to enter here AND let us know your Twitter and/or iTunes names so we can match you up. iTunes ratings alone do not count since we can't see who posted them, so add or update a comment! (If you already posted an iTunes review, you can still update your review once a week for a bonus entry in each week's giveaway. Just log in to iTunes and click Write a Review; it should load your existing review and let you modify it.)

You may also want to white list this domain; we've had MANY would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)

Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 5:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, August 4 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.

We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes and podcast extras. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. Check our Busy Gamer Podcast on Sundays for possible hints about what's coming. 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Free Stuff Bonus - Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.

We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win! While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be very grateful (we pay for most of this stuff ourselves!).

I like the third pack. The first time I saw the trailer, I thought that Scott Pilgrim would be a pretty dumb movie, but the more I hear about it, the more I want to see it. The latest trailer is actually pretty funny.
