This competition has been running for a while now and you have the last chance in entering it before the closing date (2nd May 23:59 PDT). So, do you fancy laying your hands on the box of awesome (opens in new tab)? US only, unfortunately.

It's contents are pretty impressive:

  • Samsung Focus (opens in new tab)
  • Samsung Series Notebook
  • Windows 7 home Premium
  • Microsoft Arc Touch mouse
  • Samsung 46" LED TV
  • Xbox 360 250GB console with Kinect
  • 3 Kinect-enabled games
  • Xbox Live 12 month gold membership
  • Microsoft Office Professional 2010

This bundle is worth quite a chunk of money so better get your entry in should you wish to be in with an opportunity to win, win, win. Please note -- however -- that this offer is through Facebook and requires access to your personal information, not to mention you are required to sign up and supply your name, address, email, etc.

  • That is a quality prize pack, although I'd swap the Focus for a Trophy and sell the Xbox since I already have one (but keep the Kinect).
  • i'd make use of it all.
  • Shame, I deleted my Facebook account. No biggie though. I didn't keep any personal information on there and I doubt I would just to win a contest (unless I was guaranteed to win).
  • Uhhh, another US-only contest...Microsoft, you cannot win only in US! You need to do more for worldwide developers! (or at least UK ones, as I don't care for the rest :-P )
  • -10 on Microsoft for requiring entry via Facebook. Nice prize, but no way am I willingly handing over personal information to Facebook.
