NSS: Won $250 Gift Card for Best Buy

Entered a sweepstakes through putting reviews on their website, was contacted by their marketing agency and apparently won one of the daily $250 prizes! At first, I thought it was a phishing attempt, but apparently, I really won.

It's rare where my name is pulled out of a hat. It feels kind of nice.

Already got that. Trying to decide on:

1. External HDD
2. Nice headphones
3. A hodge podge of bluray movies, DVD concerts, and CDs for the new TV/audio systems.
4. PS3 games
5. Something for the g/f since she bought the TV.
6. Point and shoot camera.
7. Wireless keyboard/mouse combo for work.
Oooh....maybe an HD radio receiver...

Soooo many choices....

nice! And congrats on realizing it's real. I wonder how many of these go unclaimed these days because people think it's just spam. I wouldn't have given it a second look and chucked it.

Heh...I did all the reviews for the sweepstakes. I had 11 reviews and it put me in the top 100...so the odds were pretty good.
