The editor-in-chief giveaway: Win Ryan Block's video games

You know, when you're the editor-in-chief of a site like Engadget, you tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. Companies send you all kinds of interesting promotional materials, gadgets, swag, etc. It's great. Sometimes, though, you just let it pile up in your living room for years and years, then, when a new editor-in-chief takes over, you send all that stuff to him in about ten huge boxes. Luckily, we've got a way of dealing with this other than just throwing it in storage -- we're giving a ton of it away. That's right, you could be one of the lucky readers to win a massive stash of gear recently jettisoned toward New York by Mr. Ryan Block. Here's just a few things that are up for grabs in this round:

Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock (Xbox 360), Eye of Judgment + PlayStation Eye (PS3), Microsoft Flight Simulator X (Windows), Project Sylpheed (Xbox 360), The Matrix Online (Windows), Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire (PS3), Singstar (PS3), MLB 08: The Show (PS3), Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (PS3), Twisted Metal Black (PS2), Socom (PSP), Pursuit Force (PSP), Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow (PSP), Pokemon Pearl Vision (Nintendo DS), and more!

Interested? Here are the rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but a description of what percentage you plan to keep versus what you'll have to sell off, or any fond memory of a Ryan Block post is good too.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winner will be chosen randomly. That winner will get a massive amount of video games. Packages represent a brief history of Ryan Block's tenure as editor-in-chief. Approximate value is incalculable (but no more than $600).
  
• Entries can be submitted until Friday, August 29th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

Don't like video games? You can still enter the drawing to win a bunch of Ryan's gadgets.

Yeah.....why not....

[Funke, Tobias Dr. @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:35PM]

Indeed.

[Trevor @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

Quite frankly, I would give most of these away to my friend, as I have neither a 360 or a PS3. With a contract reserving the right to play them whenever I want, of course.

[steven @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:40PM]

Sure, why not?

[Ben @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:42PM]

pick me

[Blenjar @ Aug 24th 2008 3:43AM]

I don't have any video games at all. I want one. please.

[Thursday @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:42PM]

Soon, you'll have to scroll through 50 pages to find a comment that's not a reply to the first.

[Dan Jenkins @ Aug 24th 2008 2:15AM]

Engadget is the apple of my eye.

[kyle1193 @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:43PM]

free stuff is good stuff

[SneAKz @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:45PM]

Yeah, I definitely want Pokemon Pearl VISION.

[Alex @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:51PM]

Of course you want Pokemon Pearl Vision...
I mean...someone has to fit those poor nearsighted Pikachus for glasses...

[Hailfire753 @ Aug 23rd 2008 10:52PM]

I love video games! I would keep 'em all. Ryan, I'll miss ya'.

[Yay. @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:02PM]

I play Starcraft; my main race is Terran, but because of my low APM (180), I often play Protoss in ladders.

[Erik Haile @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:13PM]

freeeeeeeeeeee............

[Gibz @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:16PM]

Fun stuff.

[Dave @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:23PM]

I'll take the GH3 for 360, the rest can be auctioned off for charity in the name of myself or engadget, so long as someone benefits (and I get GH3) :)

[caffeinated @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:33PM]

choose me!

[nick @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:42PM]

[nate @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:52PM]

good reason to get a ps3 eh?

[DaKingsta @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:52PM]

@Bigsauce:
I feel sorry for your inbox.

[Chrislyn @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:55PM]

Thanks in advance engadget :) Hope I win those cool games.

[VK @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:59PM]

I would love to win any of these. Broke college student's dream.

[nima @ Aug 24th 2008 12:01AM]

to be perfectly honest, i just want that guitar for my 360. I'd put the rest of it up in a raffle to fund my trip to the Dominican Republic with the rest of my UM's med school class to provide free health care. Hell, if I don't win and you have anything else you'd be willing to send for me to raffle off, i'd appreciate it :)

[Scott @ Aug 24th 2008 12:02AM]

Here is my comment. Please give me some stuff. Thanks, Ryan!!

[BML @ Aug 24th 2008 12:05AM]

I'd keep... none of them? I only have a 360, and already have guitar hero.

[hiko36 @ Aug 24th 2008 12:06AM]

Millions of games, games for me. Going to the country, gonna play a lot of games, going to the country gonna play me a lot of games!

[Jake Latyschow @ Aug 24th 2008 12:08AM]

I will eat a whole monkey, get it on video, and send it to you if you give me some gear!

[lolec @ Aug 24th 2008 12:13AM]

I like how people reply to the first comment to have grater chances of being selected.

[Nick @ Aug 24th 2008 10:54PM]

[Andrew @ Aug 24th 2008 3:27AM]

[Achille @ Aug 24th 2008 12:21AM]

[iofthestorm @ Aug 24th 2008 12:23AM]

These games are kind of meh in my opinion, but why not?

[Gregg Martinson @ Aug 24th 2008 12:30AM]

Yes. Me wants.

[steveo @ Aug 24th 2008 12:37AM]

Ryan certainly had his moment at Engadget. Thanks for the laughs and the unabashed Apple kool-aid drinking ;-)

[Scott Sell @ Aug 24th 2008 3:46PM]

I don't have any consoles, but I'd give them to a friend with the agreement that I can raid his Pop-Tarts (and play the games) whenever I want.

[Peter @ Aug 24th 2008 1:16AM]

If i win, i would sell all the items and give all the money to a worthy cause, like my gas bill. C'mon, it's time i won one of these things.......

[Martin @ Aug 24th 2008 1:13AM]

[littlefirestar @ Aug 24th 2008 1:33AM]

I really like games, and the more I have, the more I'll stay away from all those bad things like drugs and violence, just hand me some games instead! Do I need to mention I'm a girl?? Girls like games too!! *stubbornface*!

[Byron Doyle @ Aug 24th 2008 1:25AM]

I would totally keep and play all the stuff that I actually had the consoles to support. Which is to say, most of it. Send it this way, please!
