You may have noticed that I mentioned an upcoming sports gaming-related contest in my post asking you to pick the winners for our Blitz: The League II PS3 contest. Well, in this case, “upcoming” meant “next week,” as we’ve got another great giveaway for you all, thanks to our friends at New Media Strategies! (Side note: Keep voting on that contest, people!)
You’ve probably seen ads on Destructoid for an EA Sports-themed contest that Gillette (as in, Mach 3 and Fusion razors) is running. Head here for the details of Gillette’s Champions of Gaming contest! (They’re also after the jump.)
But what we’ve got for you are copies of the five games mentioned above -- one of each for the Xbox 360 -- and we’re giving them away this week on Destructoid to facilitate you entering the Gillette contest. First up is Madden NFL 09, which isn’t amazing, but is a very solid football game nonetheless. This time, I’ll run a simple Photoshop contest: ’shoop some facial hair onto a photo of John Madden; the funniest photo wins. Please post your entries (or links to them) in the comments.
We’ll be accepting entries through 4 PM EST tomorrow, November 18, and afterwards, we’ll announce the Madden winner as well as tomorrow’s contest (for NBA Live 09). Get to shooping, folks -- oh, and the contest is open to anyone, anywhere! Only one entry per person, please, so if you post multiple images, pick one of them as your final entry.
In a nutshell, you compete in an Xbox Live tournament with any of five different EA Sports titles (Madden NFL 09, NBA Live 09, NASCAR 09, FIFA Soccer 09, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09) for bragging rights, as well as prizes to certify your sports gaming prowess. There are nine weekly Qualifying Rounds, running from October 31-December 28, a week of leaderboard qualifying in a Knock Out Round from January 4-11, 2009, and a Global Competition around February 3, 2009, held in Orlando, Florida.
There are tournaments in North America, Asia, and Europe -- the Global Competition will feature one winner per game from each of the three regions. Those fifteen winners will be flown to Orlando to compete against each other, and the winners will have a chance to play against the Gillette Champions: Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Thierry Henry, Denny Hamlin, and Roger Federer! Pretty cool, eh? Weekly winners get a Gillette razor and a 3-month Xbox Live Gold subscription; weekly first prize winners receive a Gillette shave kit, a copy of EA’s FaceBreaker, a 12-month Gold subscription, and 1,600 MS Points. Oh, and in addition to being flown to Orlando, the finalists will get a shave kit, 3 EA Sports games, a 12-month Gold subscription, and 4,000 MS Points.
It's your source for wow gold , farming strategies, wow power leveling tips and everything related to World of Warcraft gold. Get all your cheap wow gold here, for free wow gold! and you will sup...... read more
So not only do I have to see these wonderful ads twenty times every Sunday I get to see them on Dtoid too? HELL YEAH! And I get a chance to win a copy of FaceBreaker? FACEBREAKER?!?! The greatest boxing game since Don King's Prize Fighter?
I don't know if my heart can take so much greatness so let me know when this promotion is over so I can visit the dtoid frontpage again!

So with NBA Live 09, I have double the chances? I'm so winning this :D
yeah as soon as I read photoshop and facial hair it was too obvious not to do. also I need to get photoshop on this computer instead of always relying on Paint
okay, I know that you'll probably only accept only one entrant, so go ahead and choose my first if you have to. This one's just see what kind of horrors I can unleash upon the world.

Photo-shooping? That is something I am capable of.
