This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got a copy of rand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS on offer. This little guy comes with a sweet pair of chopstick styli and a Chinatown Wars t-shirt, too! Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!
The rules:
The rules:
- Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet 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. The winner will receive one (1) copy of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS, with a set of chopstick styli and t-shirt. Approximate retail value is $34.99.
- If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
- Entries can be submitted until Friday, April 10th, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
- Full rules can be found here.
I can play this on my Daughters DS!
I've heard that the sale and rental of games and movies has actually gone up because of the recession. Apparently when people don't want to spend money on their expensive trips and goings out they spend it on things to keep them occupied at home. Maybe I'll actually buy a DS if I win this one :-)

I'd carjack my son's DS for this.
