Based on the visits to our E3 coverage this week, we found that the Busy Gamer Community is pretty evenly split in its interest in the future of Xbox 360 and Wii.
So what better way to gauge your passion for these platforms than a Pick and Win giveaway (or as we'll call it this week: PLATFORM BATTLE)!
For this week's giveaway, we have two classics for each platform: a sealed copy of squad shooter Rainbow Six Vegas for Xbox 360 and funky Wii zapper Elebits. Whatever your choice, no name calling or hating (you will be disqualified!).
You may earn up to FOUR chances to win:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do. INCLUDE WHICH GAME YOU'RE PLAYING FOR.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win Rainbow Six Vegas or Elebits at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast! RT + enter: http://bit.ly/9xcjMX #bgnfsf
- 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, 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 GAME YOU ARE PLAYING FOR. (You can do the other things listed above if you want to earn some extra chances to win - there's a small chance you could win BOTH.) 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 Wednesday, June 23 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. 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!
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!).

Rainbow six vegas was maybe the best War game back then until MW came along and i guess now it seems Call Of Duty is getting boring

Rainbow Six Vegas definitely, it looks like Call of Duty but realistic, elebits is cool but I have it and it gets boring after an hour.
Doesn't look like my previous comment from this morning made it properly... (if it turns up, please disregard this one)
Going for Rainbow Six Vegas
Thanks & good luck everyone!
