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 can’t wait till this all begins…I’m drooling, hoping and what ever else I can grasp until this massive giveaway gets underway…

    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

    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.

  13. Ben

    aww aww ! Am following you zeng !

  14. Oscar

    “but fortunately for everyone else you’re all eligible.” Not so true… <_<

  15. Mitchell

    Ohhh I can’t wait!!! Cheers

  16. Kai

    Wow! 4 computers in 1 contest!

  17. Kai

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

  18. Helmore

    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

  19. william

    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!

  20. jjpriest25

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

  21. Long Zheng

    Next couple of days.

  22. Caffery

  23. The Patri0t

    Bravo HP yet again :D

    Looking forward to it.

  24. Jarle Nygård

    Now this is one sweet package! :)

  25. JMacalinao

    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. :)

  26. Sid

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

  27. Sushovan

    Droool…. This is sheer pleasure for the brain!

  28. Elias

    Nice idea, Microsoft! :)

    @ 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.

  31. william

  32. DBR9
