Win a $200 GameStop giftcard from Dtoid's Twitter Friday! photo

Some people like to recommend other people to follow on Fridays, but Destructoid prefers to give free stuff away to the readers that support us and hang out on the front page every day. This week, we have a $200 GameStop giftcard to give away courtesy of the Wolverine Uncaged Edition, which you can only get by preordering the game through GameStop. Have you entered our contest to win a free copy of that, by the way?

To get a chance at winning the giftcard, follow Destructoid at our Twitter page. We will announce that we are ready to give it away at a random time during the day today, and all you have to do is reply and say "I want it!" We'll grab the contact info of the first person who replies and send you a giftcard. Easy as that! As for all you bitter Twitter-haters, the first prize in the currently running Wolverine contest is a $200 GameStop giftcard as well, so instead of wasting your time complaining in my comments why don't you go enter that instead. No time to be pissy when there's this much free swag to win!

Update: We have a winner, congrats Pluimer! (screenshot attached from Twitter API DB for posterity)

Was last week the Galactrix one? If so, I won one. Not sure who the others were. I've been stuck on my computer all day for weeks writing papers, so I've been taking advantage of twitter contests.

Cool maybe I should check it out, I know if I was playing through a game there would be no way I would continue doing something so hideously boring

lol i'm sitting hitting refresh instead of playing through my brand new just delivered copy of wolverine, and have been doing so for like 8 or 9 hours. i am clearly out of my mind

Lol, at least Mega 64 has cured a little bit of the boredom, and I am starting to think by random they meant as long as someone gets around to it...maybe

Destructiod's contests are getting more and more ridiculous. They're all "take a picture" contests and now these Twitter contests where they demand we stay glued to the screen just to have a crack at a single gift card. Meh. I wasted any entire day basically last week trying to get the Puzzle Quest Galaticx game and got squat for it. I cam in second once and ended up finding out that the giveaway before it was the one to give to first and second posts. Waste of time.

Not if you win $200 (at Gamestop)

i guess so. yea there must be something wrong. if colette is the one still doing it, her profile says she lives in miami. its 10:30 pm here on the east coast, i can't imagine she was planning on waiting past now. i think i'm going to have to throw in the towel soon
iLL0GiCaL L0GiC's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/01/2009 21:31
iLL0GiCaL L0GiC
thats the thing, if this was for a xbox code i'd have given up a while ago, but $200 is a lot of money. that'd cover all the games i want for like the next 6 months probably
kandenkiller's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/01/2009 21:32

Nah I can wait till midnight seeing as how I live on the East Coast also
