Need for Speed: SHIFT Giveaway!
This article was written by: Jennifer Kye
Special thanks to the awesome folks over at EA Black Box for hooking Platform Nation up with a brand spankin’ new copy of Need for Speed: SHIFT. We originally wanted to keep this PS3 copy to ourselves, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we’ll be granting one lucky winner the game!
Just leave a comment below telling us what you’re thankful for this year. No, it doesn’t have to be Turkey/Tofurkey Day related, but bonus points to those who can make us laugh until we cry. Make sure to leave a valid email address so that we can contact you!
Before you go off in your mad dash of commenting, here’s guidelines to keep this somewhat organized:
- Must be a US resident. Sorry international folks, but shipping costs can get pretty pricey. (No worries though, we’ll hold plenty of contests open for all!)
- Please note that we’re giving away a PS3 copy of the game. EA Black Box was kind enough to give us a freebie, and beggars can’t be choosers.
- Giveaway ends Wednesday, December 2, 2009, at 12 PM PT. Any entries submitted after this deadline will not be eligible.
- Winner will be contacted via email and will have 48 hours to respond back. Failure to do so will force our hand into selecting another winner. So please check your inbox, and make sure you have Platform Nation on the “not spam” list.
Have an awesome Thanksgiving and good luck!
