Win an Xbox 360 Elite Bundle!

Call the kids, grab a controller, and get some family fun time with an Xbox 360 Elite!

Do you have gamers in your household?

xbox-360-controllerI have one gamer in the making — my eight year old son. He loves all kinds of video games! I am careful to limit his time playing video games and make sure he stays active in sports, playing the piano and hanging out with friends, etc., but I do indulge his passion for gaming too.

So, when we got the chance to test out the new Xbox 360 Elite Bundle, you can imagine the screams of joy and gratitude: “You have the BEST job Mom!!!”

Jackson ConcentratingBut the squeals were quickly replaced by intense concentration as Jackson got down to business putting the Xbox 360 to work. Yes, I have a committed video game tester in my home and the Xbox 360 Elite did not disappoint!

I also have Susan’s husband Rob, a life long gamer, to come and set up the Xbox 360 Elite and enjoy it to the fullest along with Jackson. (Jackson and his Uncle Rob have a deep video game bond, which first started on Rob’s Xbox when Jackson was just two years old. They are just so cute together!)

Now, as disinterested as I am personally in video games, the Xbox 360 Elite can seriously sway me over. The Xbox 360 Elite can provide the whole family (non-gamers too!) with entertainment — sharing pictures, social networking, streaming movies from Netflix and more!

Yes, with Xbox Live, the online gaming and entertainment service for your Xbox 360, you can do so much with your Xbox 360. Movies, Music, Twitter, Facebook, etc., — it is a whole world waiting right in your Xbox 360!

But perhaps what I appreciated most when researching and testing the Xbox 360 is the fantastic resource for parents called www.GetGameSmart.com where parents can learn how to set parental controls on the Xbox 360 and find tools like The PACT and The Pledge to help families establish healthy boundaries and rules for the technology in their homes.

Get Game Smart is packed with tips and ideas — I highly recommend checking it out.

Win It!

  41. Better late than never! Thank you for chance to win. I don’t know who would be happier if we won this, the kids or my husband. 😀

  42. Because of financial struggles, my boyfriend had to sell his XBox. Because his brother is so far away, the only way they “spent time together” was playing on XBox Live. I really hope I win this because it bums me out to see my boyfriend missing his brother so much. This would make him so happy again.

  44. We have controlled our time game playing after a period of adjustment. Now I wonder what we would do withour our XBOX. There’s more opportunity for blogging at the website:

  51. We had this on our Christmas wish list but Santa just could not swing for an Xbox 360!

    Would love to snag one for my family!

  52. I have never owned a gaming console of any sort, not even an Atari, way back in the day. Always wanted one, just never was able to get/have one for various reasons over the years. It would be awesome to win this bundle.

    Reply

  58. My sad story is that my husband and I thrilled our oldest Grandson last year with a basic Xbox and a Madden NFL game. Sorry to say, his Mother (our step-daughter and we don’t like the word “step” as related to any of our extended family) destroyed it in a fit of rage aimed at another family member. She does not have the means to replace it (nor do we, at this point in time) so if we could win this (thanks for the opportunity) … It would definitely be a blessing!

  83. Thanx for an awesome giveaway!!!! We have four serious gamers in our house and this would be for the family to share. I’m crossing my controllers hoping to win this one(lol)!!!!

  116. My husband has always played Nintendo or PlayStation with the kids so it would be great to experience the XBOX 360 for a change. Thanks a bunch for this opportunity!

  122. HUGE set of gamers in this household, as a matter of fact the XBox is the only console we don’t own! lol! Thanks for the chance.

  126. That is a great article. I have 3 sons that love games. Their uncle too.(He is over 1x a week)We have family game night and play Scene It and pictionary. It would be great to win something like this to have family game night in a whole new way. Thank you for the oppertunity.

    Reply

  142. Oh my goodness, this would be a dream come true for us if I won! It would literally change my son’s, and well all of our 3 children’s worlds……they have been wanting an XBox 360 for so very long and we just can’t afford to get them one. My son is at that age where he wants to explore with video games and teach his younger sisters how to play them too! When we are at friends homes that is what he looks forward to most, using their video gaming systems, so having this in our home would rock our kids worlds! Thanks so much for the amazing chance to enter.

  262. sorry the above was in reply to Tammy Kennedy, thought she might try to get a used one for free if she didn’t win

    Reply

  263. you should post a request on your local freecycle (yahoo group) to see if anyone has a box they can give you for free. It won’t be new but maybe someone has one they are not using. Freecycle is groups of people who want to keep usable items out of landfills. do a search for freecycle (your city). Post a simple request and see what happens. Not saying you will get one but it can’t hurt to ask for one in good condition, at the same time you can post that you have a broken one that someone can have for free, someone may want one for parts. Good Luck

  491. I’ve been thinking for sometime about buying an Xbox. Mostly, thanks to my friend that has me super addicted and thinks that playing online together would be the coolest thing since sliced bread. This need for an Xbox became all the more apparent with the recent announcement by my nephew and I quote, “Aunt Ashley, you need an Xbox or a Wii. They’re so much better than those things”. Mind you, he said this while motioning to my Gamecube and my Super Nintendo…like they were old, useless eisores. So, needless to say, I’m video game deprived apparently. Thanks so much for the awesome contest! I’ll be crossing my fingers and toes! As will my friend and nephew. 🙂

  710. So wait, let me get this straight, we leave you a ‘comment’ and get a chance to win a Xbox360? Almost too easy to be true, but the Xbox is a very enjoyable game console to play-yourself or with other people. I think for the kids who are notorious for being rebels, parent lock is neccessary because at any opportunity kids will think that is freedom to do as they please.
