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.

[garfep Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

Oh man, this would be so amazing to get. And again, good luck in the future, Ryan.

[JohnEBoy Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

Neeto! Keep 80% to 90%, only got a PS3 and a PSP to use :/

[st0rmz Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

I'll make some room.

[geargutz Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

Ok, I would love to take some of these titles off of your hands!

[birddog Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

I will keep all the games, develop an online comic strip, and use the comics to offer snarky commentary on videogames and the industry.
Oh, wait...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

I got one word for you. "EBAY"!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

[PGPProtectors Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:34PM]

Games ?
Games are fun :)

[wwwmumonteacom Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

Damn I need some video games I am bored of working all the time...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:40PM]

[D Cole Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:35PM]

I like free stuff!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:39PM]

Durrr!

[heshmati4 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:35PM]

Notice that Ryan isn't giving his Apple products away... :)

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:35PM]

My fondest memory of Ryan is when he painted Engadget the copyrighted color "magenta" Good times!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2008 12:10AM]

Id love to get this stuff. I'd play every game!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:40PM]

In on this =P

[goblue Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:35PM]

I'd appreciate some free stuff! I'll keep it all!

[Steve19970 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:35PM]

Hmmm...interesting set of games here. I'd have to be choosy about which ones stay and which ones go. Hopefully the Singstar mics haven't been slobbered on too much. :)

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 11:08PM]

I would probably sell some, but others would be too precious to sell. You don't find a Ryan Block in every tech blog.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2008 10:36AM]

now that's a lot of games for a alot of moolah.

Good luck Ryan with that special project of yours!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:35PM]

I'm a gamer!!1

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

All for me!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

Count me in!!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

I'm a "collector" of games, although I hate that term because it makes it sound like I don't play them, which I do. I'll keep everything of Ryan's I don't already own.

[mrdanhibiki Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

Christ, he's got a lot of crap, don't he?

[cout Peter Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

Well, even if it was open to Canada, it would exclude Quebec since there is a tax on lottery for some stupid reason, so I'm going to blame Rene Levesques, since he was an idiot.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 24th 2008 12:20AM]

Hi there! I'd prob keep all the games i don't currently own. Can't have too many games :)

[dkrew72 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

OMG thats awesome!

[DylanRK Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

Yep.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

ohh shinnies!

[recklessfred Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:42PM]

Sell it all for the monies I can get.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

Hook me up!!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

I don't think I'll sell any of the games (if I like 'em!)

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:38PM]

my comment

[Blade Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

I'd keep everything except Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock -- don't own a 360. Everything else would get put to good use!

[indiecognition Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

me too.

[LordFarkward Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

G'luck Ryan, I'll miss you trying to defend Engadget against raging fanboys complaining about whatever bias ;)

[awhansen01 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

i love swag, and would keep it

[Ahmedz Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:46PM]

If I won GH3, I would keep it since I always wanted GH3 :P
either way, I'm probably not gonna win so why the hell bother..... :(

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:38PM]

YES PLEASE :]

[Battousai Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:45PM]

Well...might as well try!

[FallenArms3 Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:37PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:38PM]

I would keep it all!!!!

[PandasRule Posted Aug 23rd 2008 10:38PM]

All of the above games I do not have so that would be nice if I could finally play them.
