Microsoft and Mountain Dew giving away 9,000 Xbox 360 consoles later this year

Almost forgot to mention this during the ongoing madness that is E3, but just like we said they would, Microsoft and PepsiCo confirmed yesterday that they will indeed be doing a massive Xbox 360 promotion later this year where they're giving away a console every ten minutes for nine weeks beginning in August. Hope you really like Mountain Dew, because to win you'll have to use codes found under bottle caps of specially marked bottles of Mountain Dew to enter these regular online drawing they're going to be holding at Every10Minutes.com

I don't like it, but I certainly will now. August will mark the day that Mountain Dew becomes my favorite drink.

�the month. August will mark the month. August is not a day...

Wont buy it, but, hell, I'd take one if they're givin them away for free.

I love Mt. Dew but hate XBOX. So first one to email me can have my XBOX if I win it......

they did this in canada with the ipod. a draw every ten minutes, but you have to enter each draw seperately. so even if you get a winning cap, you have to sit at a computer and enter the number every ten minutes to have a chance to win. they will probably give away three or four out of the 9000, it's not that big of a promo, but it probably will sell a lot of mountain dew

Xbox 360! Who couldn't like the 360? Look at that punim!

Kyle the ipod promotion here in Canada wasn't every ten minutes it was every hour and you could enter as many codes as you want.
Oh and sparta what's that e-mail.??

Hmmm too bad I will have to get the playstation 3 too keep my Mountain Dews cold... gotta love the look of the new tactical gaming Mini Frdge

I have enough money to BUY a 360 now, since Microsoft bought that domain name off of me from my website called "How Often Do I Masturbate?"

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:15AM]

Not a big soda drinker, but I think when they start doing this, I'm gonna go buy 10-20 dollars worth of Mt. Dew, and dump it down the sink. It'll be just like playing the lotto.

What's up with Pepsi and MS Europe not doing the promotion in Europe. MS said they would commit to Europe this time round but it looks like we have been shat on again. I'll still buy the console though.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:15AM]

This is quite genius. Start putting stock in Pepsi.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:15AM]

There's no such thing as Mountain Dew in Europe...

Well, at least not in belgium, holland, germany or france...
I heard there was Mountain Dew in Spain... Dunno about Italy...
I drank it once, in the Czech Republic...
So I think MS won't promote the Xbox with Mountain Dew help =)

"Its either Mt Dew or Crab Juice"

Feck it. I've decided. I'm buying an Xbox 360, a PS3, a PSP, an Athlon 64 X2 PC and a Dell 24" LCD.

"I've decided. I'm buying an Xbox 360, a PS3, a PSP, an Athlon 64 X2 PC and a Dell 24" LCD."

Holy crap, dude. You've got the exact same purchase list as me.

I'll add a Nintendo Revolution, though.

One good thing about the Xbox 360 coming this year and the others next is that I will actually be able to afford all of them on launch day. (I'm honestly wary of buying any system on launch day - especially MS's with their exploding power supplies and Sony's with their DRE's - but I don't think I can resist.)

Thankfully, their Press Release
(http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/05-17-2005/0003633398&EDATE= )
states that "other Pepsi products" will be included in the mix.

At least now I can enter. Mt Dew is made from cat urine.

You misspelled PLAYstation and wrote GAYstation. Was that a freudian slip "Anonymoustipser"? You should preview your comments before submitting to avoid errors like that one.

As with every contest like this in the US - I'm sure there will be no purchase necessary

good bye gaystation fans- " well seems to me your jealous about the fact that playstation 3 is better in graphic wise in game play, and your the type that goes on with stupid bullshit, when no one really wasnt talking bullshit to begin with.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:15AM]

umm .. how will you get the cap?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:15AM]

lupinste,

I don't think that Anonymoustipser actually misspelled PLAYstation. Douh!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:15AM]

So every ten minutes is a separate drawing? So you have to enter every ten minutes to try to win every ten minutes?

The footage at e3 was purely conceptual. The cell and the ps3's gpu have yet to be completed. Don�t mistake raw numbers as absolute proof of superiority. Take a look at amd for example.
