_1.png "Saints Row 2 for PS3")
Of all of the Grand Theft Auto sandbox game knockoffs, the Saints Row series is arguably the most involved - if not the best.
With a new title in the series coming out later this year (and no doubt being featured at PAX East!), we thought the time was ripe for a big Saints Row 2 giveaway. This way, you'll have time to beat it before Saints Row 3 hits this fall.
Saints Row 2 is a solid game, and it will help you learn your way around Stilwater, get some respect points, practice the combat and stunt driving controls and even log on for some multiplayer!
Here's how to enter and boost your odds with up to 4 chances to win one or perhaps even BOTH versions:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do. INCLUDE WHICH VERSION YOU WANT, OR WHETHER YOU'D BE HAPPY WITH THE GAME ON EITHER PLATFORM.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win Saints Row 2 for #PS3 & #Xbox360 at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: RT + Enter here: http://bit.ly/eDDFFr #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 (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 confirm the bonus entry and 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:
Simply post a comment on this page - and be sure to say which version(s) of the game you'd want if you win. (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. Check to ensure that it appears on top with the new date or it won't count!
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 8:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, March 16 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 (and we're waaaay overdue!). 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next 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 much of this stuff ourselves!).

Have it for the 360 so the PS3 for me. Had a blast playing it and eagerly awaiting the next game in the series. Hope they do a better job on bugs and glitches. I remember it freezing many times and having to replay a bunch of stuff. Rekilling hoes and pimps are not as fun as you think it is.
Xbox 360 version because it has achievements!

I've never played any saints row game, but heard it the first one was great.
Xbox 360 version
360 version.. i had the game but it stopped loading correctly so i was never able to finish it :(
I was kicking around the idea of picking SR2 with "The Third" on the way. I enjoyed the first one greatly. One of my favorite gaming memories is playing through the final level using a rocket launcher and by pure accident managed to perform a contract kill while on a vehicle. *Achievement Unlocked
Saints Row 2 for the 360, please. :)
Going for the XBox 360 version! Tweeted @auxtek72
