Contest reminders: Win Grand Theft Auto 4, a PS3, and a trip to Cancun for two photo
     Mexico

You know, I never thought this would happen. We actually have so much stuff to give away to our readers that we have to pace ourselves. We can't wait to get these huge contests out the door to unveil the treasure chest of other stuff we have to get out of the Destructocloset. In the meantime, the two active contests are as follows:

WIN A COPY OF GRAND THEFT AUTO IV AND A DELUXE PS3 PACKAGE

All you have to do is complete a survey and let us know how to reach you when the contest is over. That's it!  The game isn't out for a bit so you still have some time - get on it!

WIN A TRIP TO CANCUN MEXICO FOR DESTRUCTOID'S TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY

To celebrate the unusual phenomenon that is Destructoid I am flying two random people from our community to join our Destructoid two year festivities in Cancun, Mexico. Mr. Destructoid will be present at the event but cannot protect you from venereal diseases, but he can cover your airfare and hotel. We're crossing the border with you in a body bag near the beginning of April - be sure to get your blog entry in and let us know why we should bring you.  Industry people and weird kids that wet their beds from the midwest are all invited, the more the merrier. Here's the hotel we'll be staying at.

More contests and slightly maladjusted news to come - thanks for supporting Destructoid! Rawr!

Its because we don't have any middle staff or high operating costs so far. Anything we make goes straight to staff or community, and the ad business is all outsourced. I've always said I wanted to give back more to the community and we're totally pulling it off :)

Just a note for the Cancun contesteers: All American flights to Mexico require a passport now. Can't get away with a birth certificate or a hand job anymore. Also note that passports take -3 weeks- to process before you'll have one sent to you.

So entrants should make sure and apply for one this week!

This is for planes, I'm really not sure on paperwork required for Zeppelins, Hot Air Balloons, or the dragon from "The Never Ending Story."

Please don't attract any more attention to the PS3 competition. The odds of winning are already lottery-esque.

Goddamn that picture is awesome. And Eschatos is right, these posts aren't helping my chances.

I'm going to win that PSTriple. The disembodied spirit of Chad Warren came to me in a dream telling me so.

So many contests! And so much more to come. Niero, Destructoid has really taken off in the last year and a half that I've been registered here. I remember the first contest I won involved me being one of the first people to post a comment on one of the stories... I still display that Fatal Fury hat proudly. A contest like that would be over in 5 seconds now-a-days.

Are these open to Australian residents? Because we sure could use some fun down here, what with the constant RAPE and all.

I'd love to win a PS3 so I don't have to pay $800 for one. And that's the 40GB model. ;_;

Well, Niero, I've never actually won anything on Dtoid, so you're failing at giving back to me. So, I expect some contests where only pudgy, bearded 24-year-olds from New Jersey are allowed to enter, STAT.

You know where to find me, baby.

Also, Niero those awesome last commenter captions before you go into a blog fails to show italics. I thought I screwed up my comment at first

They ignore bold too. I think they just ignore anything inside of BBCode, actually.

As long as we get the PS3 and game to take with us, otherwise it'd get pretty boring there with only the beach.

I finally decided what I'm doing for the contest. It's going to take me right until the deadline but hopefully it'll turn out awesome and I'll win :).

I'd totally enter if:

a) That PS3 was a 60GB or it was the 360 version of GTAIV.

b) I didn't have classes during the Cancun trip.

Still, yay for community contests!

Anyone going to Cancun regardless if the win or not the contest?

I think I'll need a roommate to be able to pay for the room >.>.

We need another shoop contest. They're the only contests I ever win, my name never gets randomly selected.

Damn randomization with its inherent bias.
