From our front-page news:
We know you guys love to win stuff, so your ears are sure to perk up with the knowledge of two sweet contests being held by NVIDIA and Intel. Neither are related, but both offer up some great prizes. First is NVIDIA with their contest that aims to have gamers saying, "WoW"... can you even guess what game this is centered around? Purchase a qualifying GPU from a qualifying e-tailer between July 1 and August 1, and you'll have the chance to enter.
There only seems to be one prize, but it's an all-expenses paid trip to Blizzcon for you and a friend, so not a bad one at all. If you enter and don't win, you'll still get a free 30-day trial of WoW Classic out of the deal (because we all know a trial for that game is hard to come by, right?). The good news is that the contest is open to many different countries including of course USA, but also Canada, France, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, Norway and also India. You can find out more at the contest site.
Intel arguably has the more interesting contest though, at least if the $80K in prizes is anything to go by. The company has teamed up with Destructoid for "Friday.Night.Fights", where you compete to top their leaderboards for the chance to win some truly incredible hardware (even PCs valued at over $5K!). If you aren't the best gamer out there, don't worry... luck can also win you a prize here. You can access the contest site at the bottom of this post!
It begins! Register and compete to win some breathtaking gaming computers from Cyberpower and random prizes just for participating! The first game we're playing is Quake Live. Here's an extensive guide on how to pair up. The top 6 players after 2 weeks will move to a private semi-final mini-ladder tournament hosted by Destructoid Staff where we'll give away the computer prizes, live!
