To celebrate the 6-month anniversary of the Busy Gamer Podcast launched 26 weeks ago back in October, we've got a very special prize: a sealed copy of Mass Effect for Xbox 360 (Platimum Hits edition, which includes a bonus episode and other content!) and the first two Mass Effect Redemption comics.
This one's a little different than past giveaways. You may earn up to FOUR chances to win!
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: "I'm entered to win Mass Effect pack & celebrate 6 mos of Busy Gamer Podcasts! #bgnme RT + enter: http://bit.ly/de00w8"
- Rate and review our Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes
- Rate and review the brand new Best of Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes. (Just approved!) This is a new feed we've launched with 54 short audio segments comprising our best reviews and audio tours ranging from 22 seconds (Trials HD) to 5:50 (our 2009 Game of the Year, Borderlands).
If you do 2, 3 and/or 4, you do need to let us know your Twitter/iTunes name(s) in your comment so we can verify and include your bonus entries in the drawing and match them up to contact you if one of them wins.
BONUS: If we break 20 new reviews total on iTunes (between the two podcasts), we'll add a surprise Mass Effect item to the prize pack.
You DO have to enter a comment here and follow the other rules to be eligible. Here's where you enter:
Simply post a comment on this page. (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.
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 Thursday, April 15 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.
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.
We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes. 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!).

Here's to hoping I win!
I am in for a little MAss Effect.
You guys are doing a great job.
Sweet deal this week! I've been itching to get my hands on the comics and regret ever having traded away my copy of ME1.
I tweeted the message and posted a review on iTunes, though the review may not be up yet as I think they need to approve it. Check back for it though!
Name for both is CAiNiACprime
Tweeted and commented :D
Particularly nice Free Stuff Friday. Congrats on 6th months of podcasts, and best wishes for continued success of it and the site as a whole.
Count me in for this!
In it to win it!
Entered and Tweeted! I'll reinstall iTunes when the Best of gets posted. :)
First time on the site.
I think I'll poke around.
Thanks.

hey guys. Count me in for the mass effect action.
great contest, thanks gamewatcher
i've always been quite satisfied with the game library on my PS3 but I would buy an Xbox just to pay Mass Effect. It's probably the only game for which, by itself, I would buy a 360. I've been waiting for the inevitable release on the PS3 but I have no qualms with playing it while it's still current.
BioWare contest has me thinking ME but i probably won't win anything, auction prices are too high, maybe i have a better chance here :)

mass effect sounds great.
congrats on 6-month anniversary!
nice contest. in for the comics
added comment via twitter also user CaptainKnuckles
Those comics are the best giveaway you've done yet. I'm in.
I hope I win this one, I for some reason have not played ME 1 or 2 XD
Believe it or not, I still haven't played ME1, or read those comics, so this is right up my alley.
I want! I want! Please pick me!
This is already a better giveaway than the Bioware Bazaar.
IM in for some MASS EFFECT swag!!!
I live for Free Stuff Friday; and you never disappoint.
Thanks in advance just for the chance. I beat Mass Effect 2 without ever playing part 1, so this I know I can put this to good use.
Hope I win, awesome contest you're having here guys!
Count me in.
I'm syked about ME2. I posted on twitter also.
My twitter name is bizco17 also.
Your podcasts rock btw.
Count me in on the Mass Effect contest!
Thanks
I remember the first time I played Mass Effect... It was one of my favorite games i've ever play. The funny thing is, I never bought it.
This is a great prize pack! Please enter me. I also tweeted here: http://twitter.com/alee67/status/11897040813

comics and a game?! im in
Sweet contest. Twitter name furillae1
Won't be doing the rest but looking forward to six more months and then some.
Awesome, I love Mass Effect.
I guess it's about time I play Mass Effect. Even without playing them though, I respect the Mass Effect series. It's good to see another game let you carry over save data into the sequel. Now Suikoden won't be so lonely.
What a contest. I'm in.
this game is the best
I'm a big fan of Mass Effect and this is a cool prize pack!
Mass Effect is sooo close to edging out KoTOR as my favorite game of all time.
This prize pack is way too awesome!
I really want to play this game. Thanks.
I'm @louiedog on twitter. link to my tweet
Great prizes this week. Good luck everyone!
Mass Effect FTW!
I'm in, thanks a ton for the giveaway!
Here's my Tweet: http://twitter.com/ShaSt_One/status/12005098044
Yayy, Mass Effect!!
Grats on the 6 months and another awesome giveaway!
Twitter:hestar69
Mass Effect is a pretty awesome game, and I'm really interested in taking a look at the comics.
I'm in!
I'm never one to turn down a challenge. Unless it's dangerous or difficult. Other than that though. Unless I don't feel like it.
Good lucky guys.
