Here's what you have to do to win:
Make a post in the comments below with links to your favorite Engadget posts from each of the past three years (i.e. post your fave link from 2004, your fave from 2005, and your fave from 2006). Make sure you have one post from each year, as well as why it's your favorite post of that year, otherwise we have to disqualify your entry. It's a little tougher if you haven't been reading the site since 2004, but you gotta give something back to the old school, right? We'll pick five winners at random from among all qualifying entries.
A few rules (yeah, there are always rules):
- You may only enter this specific contest once. If you enter this contest more than once you'll be automatically disqualified and barred from all future giveaways. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) You may enter our other Birthday contests, but you can't win more than once; if you happen to win more than once (which is pretty unlikely, but still) we'll ask you to choose just one of your prizes.
- You can only win once.
- This contest is open to anyone anywhere.
- Contest is open until 11:59pm EST on Sunday, March 4th.

Anyhow, you guys are the best, and engadget rule!
I'm an Engadget OG since the early days of 2004 but how am I supposed to find posts from back then? Those were the good old days when it was just Pete but there were still a siiick amount of daily updates. Hey Peter we love you're posts!

Happy Birthday Engadget! :D
2006: Nintendo Revolution gets real name: http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/ - I was actually surprised about Nintendo made that decision... As well as the speed Engadget reported it.
2005: the 2004 Engadget Reward! http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/03/the-winners-of-the-2004-engadget-awards/ - 2004 was a very interesting year for gadgets, especially the way Engadget rewarded it ;)
2004: Intel releases 64-bit Xeon, http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/01/intel-releases-64-bit-xeon-processor-holds-breath/ - Intel's high end 64-bit debut, surprising!
2004
http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/31/indian-wireless-carrier-will-harrass-your-friends-if-youre-a/
haha this was one of the funniest things i had read about indian cell phone carriers that year.
2005
http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/08/how-to-the-magic-phone-part-1-number-pad-matrix-decoding/
this is was cool cos i actually destroyed a phone in my house try to do this and my mom kicked my ass for it.
2006
http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/india-announces-plans-to-develop-robot-army/
prolly one of the biggest load of BS type news things i have heard...haha we cant even have gps systems in our cars in india cos there's no road mapping logic there and they want to build robot army's.
From 2006, the BenQ FP241W review! This is where I first saw the monitor and eventually purchased it, and it is simply amazing.
http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/07/benq-fp241w-24-incher-reviewed/
From 2005, the unpacking of 360! It was a while after the launch before I finally got my own 360, so I drooled all over my computer when this was posted.
http://gaming.engadget.com/2005/11/17/unpacking-the-xbox-360/
From 2004, this was fairly amusing even though I found it much later than 2004. I had been wanting to make the switch over to a mac, but I didn't have the financial means to do so. This was the closest thing to a real mac that I could get at the time, and it looks a lot better than boring old Windows XP.
http://features.engadget.com/2004/06/09/turn-your-pc-into-a-mac/
i think i should win because it is actually my birthday today(the big 21. Come on engadget show me some love; and i can prove my birthday...
always a loyal reader,

You have to love the stackup of the three consoles and the fact that after years of waiting for the next gen consoles, they range from good, to ok, to just plain bad. I'll let you be the judge of what title fits which console. :-)
2005:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/14/wireless-ipod-by-mid-2006/
This was one of my first articles reading about the iPhone seeing as I am neither a fan of Apple of Cellular products. However this intriqued me enough to follow the story leading up to Job's announcement at the last "little-get-together" he threw.
2004:
http://www.engadget.com/2004/08/02/an-xbox-2-in-2005-yes-no-maybe/
Seeing as I am a M$Fanboy this was yet another confirmation as to why I loved this company. You have to love Ballmer and his "phrases" as well as the announcement for the 360.
And there you have it, three years in review! Congrats on 3 Years & Keep'em Coming!

2005: http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/22/playstation-3-for-spring-2006-launch/
This is like the last one, except this speculates on a Spring 2006 release, once again yeah right.
2006: http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/sonys-playstation-3-review-roundup/
Finally the PS3 comes out...what I had been waiting for.
As you can probobly tell, I'm a PS3 fan.

I was a sad panda when I heard the news that the xbox 360 wasn't going to be hackable. That is one of the most fun aspect of the original xbox.
2006: www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/breaking-james-kim-may-have-been-found/
No other Engadget article hit me harder than the day they found James body. I will never forget that whole week where we all are just pulling for him and his family to make it through. R.I.P James.

2005:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/15/giant-spiderbot-not-your-average-john-deere-offering/

2004: http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/20/sony-playstation-portable-psp-hands-on-review/
Remember how fantastic it looked? The wonderment we all felt? ...Of course, then it released and the only games were (and still are) crappy ps2 ports and the disc drive was loud and annoying, but I still remember the excitement of a 5 year old in the weeks leading up to the release.
2005: http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/31/eight-foot-nes-controller/
Tell me how anything could ever be cooler than an eight foot NES controller. Unless of course it's a ten foot NES controller...
2006: http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/would-you-trade-your-ps3-for-a-lifetime-of-tacos/

Love this post. PS3 will come with NO hard drive? LOL. But the good news was that it would support OTHER OS'...linux was the rumor and well... look at what we've got today. A HDD AND linux. AND the hard drive is swappable!
Favourite post from 2006
http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/archos-wifi-capable-604-slips-by-the-fcc/
This post is about the archos 604 wifi. I had just recently purchased my av500 and saw the 604 and said meh. Then THIS came out and with WIFI and I was pretty crushed... so not I think I like the looks of the 704, though it has a 7inch screen... which is kinda big... and the new gen 4 has that stupid $100 add-on dvr station instead of coming WITH the unit!
Well there are my fav posts from 2004, 2005 and 2006.
