Doritos and Mountain Dew giving away over 5000 free Xbox One systems
This year, Microsoft and PepsiCo will be giving away free Xbox One systems in a new "Every 2 Minutes" promo. And as usual, the event will coincide with the release of new "Game Fuel" products.
Microsoft and PepsiCo are continuing their long-running partnership to market Mountain Dew and Doritos products to Xbox gamers. This year, the two companies will be giving away free Xbox One systems in a new "Every 2 Minutes" promo. And as usual, the event will coincide with the release of new "Game Fuel" products.
To participate, you'll have to buy specially marked Mountain Dew and Doritos products to collect codes. Then, starting September 30th, you'll be able to enter those codes onto Every2Minutes.com. Finally, on November 5th, you'll be able to use your points to bid on Xbox One systems. Nightly auctions will run every two minutes from 9PM ET to 2AM ET. That means 150 systems will be given away every night.
The auctions will run until December 9th, meaning the promo will end up giving away over 5000 systems.
While you'll be able to find codes on standard Mountain Dew and Doritos products, the two brands will have special editions targeted specifically at gamers. Mountain Dew Game Fuel returns in Citrus Cherry and a new Electrifying Berry flavor. Doritos will also offer a special "Gamer Pack," which includes Doritos Nacho Cheese chips in a "conveniently packaged, re-sealable, wide-opening table-top box, so gamers can snack easier and play harder."
We really didn't make that last bit up. It'll be available in Wal-Mart come October.

I think Sony made the smartest move by giving a PS4 to every GameStop manager.

I wonder how much taxes you would have to pay on it?
-
Eh, 35% ish or so

You're supposed to report any prize/sweepstakes as income, no matter how small. However, a 1099 needs only be issued for $600 or greater, so there's not much of a trail for the IRS. Also you'd be taxed at basically your effective income tax rates (probably around 20% unless you're making bank).

If Doritos really wanted to make a snack that resonated with gamers they would make the chips about half to a third of their original size, then package them in cans.
That way they could grab the container in one hand and load a mouthful without taking their eyes off the screen, and they wouldn't get their hands -- and thus, controllers -- mucked up with chip residue.-

Wait, you mean, this wasn't completely fabricated? http://www.theonion.com/articles/2d-doritos-sales-lagging,4029/

This is how they can reduce the number of winners who claim their prize. Remember back when Pepsi and Coke went to codes for their under-the-cap sweepstakes? Same thing. (Well, in this case, it is quite literally the same thing).

i cheated the first xbox 360 give away contest and won one
-

if you signed up with your email address you got a free point code or something or if you refered a friend they got a free point i cant remember
anyways i just ran a macro submitting all these bullshit email addresses that were on the same domain, and all the misdirected emails would be forwarded to one account and then i just put all those points into my real account.

Yep. Friend of mine has won a few of the Mt. Dew contests. Got the 360 (twice?) during that contest. He and his brother anyway.

Is a small chance at an XBone worth the onset of Type 2 Diabetes? All signs point to "yes."
