Community Update: New Member Contest Win a XBox 360 this month for your participation.




 After a long, stressful day in IT, video games can be a great way to unwind and relax. That’s right, you know where this is leading. It’s time for a cool new contest on IT Knowledge Exchange. The month of September ( Sept 1-Sept 30) is your chance to get your hot little hands on your very own Xbox 360 game system.

Let me recap how our Most Active Member contest works. Each time our members ask, answer or discuss a question, they automatically earn Knowledge Points for their participation. Keep in mind we will be reviewing all entries and adjusting Knowledge Points.

Looking for unanswered questions? [You can find them by topic here](https://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itke-community-blog/filter-to-see-only-answered-or-unanswered-it-questions/).

This contest runs for the entire month of September. So shortly after September ends, we’ll award one of the great prizes below to the top three Knowledge Point earners. You could be our next winner!

Here are the sweet prizes we’re offering…

1st Place → Microsoft Xbox 360 game system

 Xbox 360 puts you at the center of the most exciting games and entertainment experiences on earth. Xbox 360 not only has the best, highest-rated games, and the most robust title library, but it also offers access to the industry-leading Xbox LIVE service and tailored digital entertainment experiences that revolve around you.

2nd Place → Chumby – Interactive media player

 Chumby takes your favorite parts of the Internet and delivers them to you in a friendly, always-on, always-fresh format. It’s a window into your Internet life that lives outside your desktop, so content like weather, news, celebrity gossip, podcasts, music, and more has a place to play away from your world of documents and spreadsheets.

3rd Place → $100 Amazon gift certificate

 Redeem your gift certificate for whatever you wish. You’ll find lots of geek gear and toys on Amazon.com and we’re paying.

Our contests are our way of thanking the top members who put a lot of effort into sharing their hard-won knowledge and expertise. This is a brand spanking new contest so everyone has an equal chance of being the next Most Active Member. As usual, read the [Contest Rules](https://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itke-community-blog/techtarget-contest-rules) and start participating today to be eligible to win one of these cool prizes. Thanks!

nitendo = family console

ps3 = amazing game console with better graphic than xbox 360, free internet unique games... : killzone,uncharted,grand turismo,little big planet...

xbox 360 =not a great console. not worth buying: 60$ a year, xbox 360 unique games: halo,gears of war 

i prefer ps3 it was a youtube survey. proably a lot of people answring don't even play xbox. also, there was some price hike controversy recently that might have led some people to decide they aren't doing it anymore. I just wanted to update this thread. The team at Intel did a wonderful job of taking care of me. While they were not able to supply me with the keys to the original titles offered in the promotion back in August - they were able to offer me suitable alternatives. I'm very thankful for their help in resolving the matter. Thank you Intel - my kids are loving their new Intel-powered PCs and I'm glad I purchased them!
