We've got a Best Buy gift card to give you [contest]

By Phil Nickinson  | Mar 12 2010 | 4:38 pm  | 611 Comments

AND ... WE'RE DONE! Winner will be receive an e-mail shortly.

We found a $150 Best Buy gift card under a stack of phones and decided it'd be better off in your hands. (We'd probably just spend it on more Lost DVDs anyway.) So, as to not make a big deal out of it, just leave a comment here on this post. We'll lock things up at 7 p.m. EST tonight, so get in while you can.

Update: Uh oh. So you all might have noticed that we're allowing anonymous comments again. That's good, insofar as comments go, but bad when it comes to winning stuff. To be chosen here, you're going to have to be registered in logged in. Otherwise, well, you're anonymous. And it's hard to send stuff that way. :-/

lonelyphoenix7#ac says:

I speak on behalf of my poor Motorola Droid. It's been naked ever since it was left on my doorstep from the one they call "Big Red". It requires a data plan to stay alive, which despite the cost, I provide because this child is very special to me. However, the cold winter months are still upon us, and my Droid could use a coat to protect it. Just ask yourself, WWGD? (What would Google do?) Save a Droid. Please, donate today.

I love Best Buy! I have been wanting a new HTC Eris or Palm Pre Plus for Verizon but my contract isn't up for almost a year. The full retail price of these phones is way to much for me to pay on a college student's budget. A Best Buy gift card would help out so much. Getting a new phone would help my life run so much smoother, and not to mention the phones are just so cool! Thanks for a great chance to win!
