Prize Information
I clicked on an ad about a GTAIV sweepstakes. Well, turns out the sweepstakes entry period has expired but I thought the prize information was a little odd...
On or about April 23, lucky winners will be chosen from all entries to receive the following prizes:
Four Grand Prizes: Four winners will score a four-day/three-night trip for two to New York City to attend the Xbox LIVE Gold Party. Trip includes round trip coach air transportation for winner and a guest from a major U.S. commercial airport nearest winner's home, three (3) nights standard double occupancy hotel accommodations (one room, two people), ground transportation in New York to and from the airport and hotel, and $200 cash, awarded as a check from the Sweepstakes Administrator
- One Hundred First Prizes: Custom Xbox 360 Elite console
- Two Thousand Second Prizes: A Rockstar baseball bat
- Five Thousand Third Prizes: 500 Microsoft Points
- Three Thousand Fourth Prizes: 1000 Microsoft Points
- Two Thousand Fifth Prizes: 1600 Microsoft Points
- Five Thousand Sixth Prizes: One-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription
- Three Thousand Seventh Prizes: Three-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription
- Two Thousand Eighth Prizes: One-year Xbox LIVE Gold subscription
So, first think I saw was the baseball bat - sweeeeeet. The console would be awesome (can't have enough 360 consoles).
The wheels kind of shoot off around 3, 4, 5 and then 6, 7 and 8... Aren't those groupings kind of backwards? Why is 5k 1month gold subscriptions the sixth prize and 2k 1 year subscriptions the eight prize? Shouldn't both groups be in the other order? How much you want to bet MS legal had to get involved and there's actually some reason to put those in backwards order?
I don't know - I wish I saw this before the 14th so I could enter. I'd probably win but miss the notice and have the prize pass on to another winner *cough*SXSW*phizzpop*GH3*cough*...
