Update: Our contest is now live, click here to enter! At a time when less is in reach for most, HP and Microsoft want to help spread the magic through the HP Magic Giveaway, a program that enables 50 top blogs to run their own contests to give away 50 prize packages whose value exceeds $6000. Microsoft and HP have decided, Neowin is one of the top blogs, and we will be participating in this giant giveaway.
The prize packages include:
- HP TouchSmart IQ816 PC
- HP HDX 18 series Premium Notebook PC
- HP Pavilion dv4 series Entertainment Notebook PC
- HP Mini 1000
- HP MediaSmart Connect
- HP Photosmart C6380 Wireless AIO multifunction
Our competition will begin shortly once we finalise the finer details of the competition. You will have 50 chances across 50 sites to win the package and we hope to split the package into individual prizes to enable up to 10 people to win a fantastic prize on Neowin. This is a global competition so if you are in the UK, US, Kazakhstan, Australia or China it doesn't matter, feel free to enter once the competition begins.
Neowin would like to thank Microsoft, HP and Buzz Corps for this excellent opportunity at Christmas. Stay tuned for the exact details of our competition.
chuur i'm in, just hope it isn't too cheesy, also should advise whoever's head of the competition that should be able to do each piece of hardware seperately similar to neowin give away so lots of people has a chance instead of 1 person gets over the top amount of computers lol 3 notebooks and touch screen pc and printer in one go is like whoa xD
Yup, in the article I note "we hope to split the package into individual prizes to enable up to 10 people to win a fantastic prize on Neowin"
They are global but due to shipping restrictions and taxes etc alot of companies restrict large prizes to US only and stuff.
I doubt that it is truly global due to export laws. For example, if someone in North Korea or Iran were to win the prize, they'd be SOL.
No, HP is based in California. Though it has offices around the world, it's still a US company. Some sites just don't like to pay the shipping cost, export/import taxes, VAT taxes, etc. that are required for various other countries. No to mention the fact that there are some places that simply cannot be shipped to.
Can't wait to see what it is
I know... But I got my hands into the prize bowl before I was staff... so
Such nice prizes up there! Good luck everyone!

Bring it on
ya I still never received my 3rd place prize lol
From what I can remember, you didn't want it.
I hope the selection isnt someone picking a random number and hope that multiple posts don't count!
plus to help weed out the multiple account makers... they should have a rule to where you gotta be a member of Neowin for atleast 6months or something to be eligible or something like that

It should be a form or something you fill out, mabye answer a few q's You can get great feedback this way as well...and then putting it into a random draw and then selecting 10 people for each prize or whatever that way it's like a lottery and nice and random and everyone has an EQUAL chance to win.
For people who are asying they shlud get atleast 6 months.. u have a point but this is a way to attract users too and maybe some of them will stay since neowin is great!
