NCsoft has given us five copies of the limited edition collector's edition of Aion for our 25 days of giving contest series. The collector's edition comes with a 6.5"-tall figure, extra in-game items, soundtrack CD, posters and a reference card.
So what do you have to do to win yourself a copy? Well every time I've seen anything about Aion, I always see something with big angel-like wings. What else do you think would benefit from angel-like wings? A snake? A shark? A refrigerator? Just tell us what you think would benefit from having angel wings in the comments below and you'll be entered into the contest!
No limit to entry, but you have to wait for at least five other people to comment before you can enter again. You have until Sunday, December 13 at 11:59 PM CST to enter and we'll be picking five random winners after the contest closes. Contest open to US residents only. Good luck!
[Update: Contest closed! Winners are Malcolm Ramsay, kirobz, MkShiranui, nygfan and Sefiran.]
If you don't win and are looking to pick up Aion, then you should hit up Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target or Walmart as you'll get some exclusive extras:

The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. In case of a dispute as to the owner of an entry, entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized account holder of the screen name from which the entry is made. The authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, entrant’s rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsors in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the Commonwealth of Virginia or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Virginia.

But having money with wings would be cool, it could fly to me.
but he thought now forget it Yo homes to Bel Air.... He can just fly across the land to the house around 7 or 8 and yell at his wings 'Yo homes smell ya later' look at his kingdom he was finally there to sit on his throne as the prince of Bel Air.
That'd be so much awesome the world would quake from the awesomeness when it enters into existence and roars across the sky.
Then Cindy would ask what happened to them, and he would say "I let him go"
And could do this multiple times, because he has angel wings.
That'd be so much awesome the world would quake from the awesomeness when it enters into existence and roars across the sky.
And argument does not change for this is my greatest wish.
I'd like to see Superman with wings, that way when he would fly across the land, the villagers would wonder why someone who already can fly needs angel wings. Seems like kind of a waste.
