Win $6000 of HP goodies in the Magic Giveaway: hold your horses, competition starts soon

How would you like to see six grands worth of state-of-the-art desktop computer, notebooks (not one but two), netbook, digital media receiver, multifunction printer, softwares and movie under your Christmas tree? Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I think this is as good a reason as any to accept presents. And did I mention you have fifty chances of winning?

So what does $6000 get you?

The competition starts soon and more details on how you can enter at this site will follow, but I just want to say for today I have the utmost respect for HP and Microsoft, who under less than ideal economic situations is going to make this holiday season a memorable one for at least 50 people, their friends and family.

Times like this I wish I could enter my own competition, but fortunately for everyone else you’re all eligible.

    HP is stepping it up as of late and for that, I also respect them. I just wish my dream machine HP Blackbird 002 was part of the contest!

    I’ll be coming back soon!

    Question for you…do you have an RSS feed I can sign up to via email? I tend to forget to read my feeds online…I would just prefer email anyways because I check my mail religiously…

    Just thought I’d ask.

    thanks

  13. This contest screams ‘show the good in you’. I couldn’t keep them all, HP is just making it real easy not to look stingy with family and best friends this Christmas.

  16. Mitchell says:

    Ohhh I can’t wait!!! Cheers

  17. Kai says:

    Wow! 4 computers in 1 contest!

  18. Kai says:

    Oh wait… in the picture it mentions two dv4 series notebooks… does that mean 5 computers? Wow!!

  19. Helmore says:

    I sure wouldn’t mind seeing a HP Mini on my doorstep this christmas :D :P
    Or any of the other prices for that matter….

    Can’t wait what the contest will be, I hope it’s something fun. Just a sign up here to participate is rather boring :P

  20. william says:

    Well; this certainly got my eyes open wide and ill enter if i can!!

    I am prepared to add that Im not sure id be so generous about HP’s motives here – I think it’s the best viral marketing possible for them! Just what they need in a downturn. Good on them for spending the money in a way that does cheer up 50 people and not just on some poster somewhere!

  21. jjpriest25 says:

    Very appealing…..
    So how soon is “soon”?

  22. Long Zheng says:

    Next couple of days.

  23. Caffery says:

    Wow, I am so excited till I need to leave a comment here. :D

  24. The Patri0t says:

    Bravo HP yet again :D

    Looking forward to it.

  25. Now this is one sweet package! :)

  26. JMacalinao says:

    I’ll be happy if I can get my hands on, at least, the Mini 1000. But I’m always unlucky in big contests, so probably not. :P I’ll still enter, of course; better than doing nothing. :)

  27. Sid says:

    WOW i am waiting for this one more info abt it .. I just need one not too greedy …. :delighted

  28. Sushovan says:

    Droool…. This is sheer pleasure for the brain!

  29. Elias says:

    Nice idea, Microsoft! :)

    Min. requirements will be the same as Crysis :)

  30. So, yeah. I’ll be entering. ^^
    *Drools* Shiny new technology….

  31. @ william
    If each of the 50 winners are the generous type, this could actually benefit 300 individuals. Now that’s what I call viral marketing.

  32. william says:

    @andre True!! Ill see what i can do for you if i win ;) (though; this is a big if alas!)

  33. DBR9 says:
