Win a PlayStation 3, people! BTL II giveaway extended...again photo

*Sigh* Perhaps we shouldn’t run any contests under the guise of sports -- maybe then, we’d get more than a (baby’s) handful of entries. People, we must confess: we figured you would be willing to go above and beyond for a chance at a PS3, especially with all the great games available for the console this season (MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2). But obviously, we were sadly mistaken in our overestimation of your desire for a free videogame console.

What more can we do? We here at Destructoid feel like exasperated parents (we’re not mad; just disappointed). We line up contest after contest for you, dear readers -- with nothing but kick-ass prize packages -- and time and again, you repay us with what seems like a “meh” of indifference at best, and sheer laziness at worst. Sure, you might have to get off your ass occasionally to create an entry for some of our giveaways, but is that so much to ask? How many of you have better excuses than “I meant to enter, but I forgot/didn’t get around to it”?

In any case, we’re going to take the role of the battered wife here and give you one more chance: we’re extending our Blitz: The League II giveaway for a second time, so you’ll really have no one to blame but yourself if you don’t get an entry in. You have an extra week; the deadline is now 11:59 PM EST (yep, the clocks go back an hour tonight) on Sunday, November 9, 2008. Please refer to the original post for information on how to enter the contest. And please, send us your entries! You can win a real football helmet, for crying out loud!

I would have entered already if I had access to a camcorder. But hopefully I'll get lucky if I go and try to get someone to let me use theirs.

The competition is open worldwide on this one, Mirax.

I think that american footballs have been banned from England and I don't have a video camera so that's double out for me.

I got mine in on time the first time you set the deadline as the 31st, Samit. That had better mean something.

If I can manage find an american football in England, can I win a video camera so that I can enter this contest? xD

@lastSKYsamurai: Wow, I'm actually quite impressed that you took the time to put that image together! Nicely done. And if anything, you can always win the contest and sell the console on eBay!

Ah, true. But I don't think the Price Of Ordering some football gear over from the mainland would cover it. lol.

Next time. :)

I'd actually love to participate in this. I imagined myself running down the field with a soccer ball in arm and just leaping onto the floor inside of a soccer goal and having a ref throw up his arms to signify a touchdown.

But damn dude. I'd have to like, rent a camcorder and everything.

Maybe it's the lack of a camera. And a football. And people.

I don't even have the money for a football, let alone for a video camera. Is that enough of an excuse?

@Gamechamp: Certainly! In fact, most of the people who have commented here have legitimate excuses.

<_< >_> Actually, I just got an idea. It all depends on if I can find somebody with a video camera to borrow, get a teacher to lend me a football, and if they'll let me bring a pet on school grounds.

I feel so bad for not entering, Samit, it's just that I already have a backwards-compatible PS3. That, and my camcorder is broken. And I'm scared to tackle someone. And I don't have a football.

AND YOU SHOULD STOP MAKING SPORTS CONTESTS.

the contest premise is weak therefore you don't have people entering.

hire me and ill write up fantastic premises that will get people to enter not just for the prizes but the spectacular things they have to do!

I'm just kidding Samit, I love you and your crazy sports obsession.

i'm with Necros. It's already pretty obvious most of us aren't really into sports. Which in a sense, makes it easier for people who are somewhat interested to win something this big so easily.

But overall, I won't enter cause I have no camcorder like many said, and no money. Plus my care for sports games are nothing if it's not SSX or NBA Street 1 and 2. Or NBA JAM.

Make a NBA JAM contest and i'll enter. ^_^

on second thought, i may try to enter. Granted I find a camcord and get like...some of my big friends to help out. or maybe my dad or somethin.

and lookie here I still have a football. Maybe this may be a easy PS3 for me. that better be a BC PS3 sir.

I already have a Dust Collector 3 and would probably use the game as kindling if I ever felt like starting a fire. I'd do it if I had a camcorder though, just for shits n giggles. I'd probably hurt someone though, perhaps it's for the best I didn't enter...

We also shouldn't be able to see the other entries in advance. Ron's is far far beyond most of our technical abilities and resources.

Well, I tried to make an entry but I killed my little sister in the process. The tape is now evidence in an impending court case. But in seriousness, why do people always gotta make everyone work so hard in these contests. people don't want to bust their buts when they know its not likely they will win.

How many sports gamers read gamer blogs? How many gaming nerds (who do read the blogs) have any sort of football?

ive had an awesome idea in my head since this was announced, but havent been able to find a camcord someone is willing to lend me. I will try extra hard this week to persuade (read: blow) people enough to let me use theirs.
