great idea - super prize!
but UNFAIR to limit the xbox to just those countries.....! worldwide.....
If not, I'm sure the shipping and handling would cost way too much.

It's a variety of regions. Mainly:
- Postage is quite a lot overseas for such a heavy package.
- The Xbox's power plugs and region settings are specific to the countries/regions they're purchased in.
- Our senior staff only live in the US, UK, and Australia, hence why it's not really possible for other countries.

Does an acceptable review get you one entry into a random drawing, or are judges judging the reviews, and the best three win?

The management team will be individually judging each review; our three individual scores for each article will then be added up into a total score; the highest total score will be the winner.
We will be judging against a set of criteria to make it fair - i will post these in mid july. You can resumit if you need to change your article after i change the criteria
It will be fair and honest judging

This is a fantastic idea, and kudos to TVF management for coming up with it.
I'm torn between my new camera, my monitor, or a couple different software titles to review...
Can we review games? I'd love to do one of the Orange Box...

What a great way to make this place fun. Good luck to everyone writing a guide, and where can we find the list of Windows Vista Hardware? The only thing I can think of that is "Vista Ready" is my eVGA 8800GTS 320Mb.

You can even review your dog if you slap a 'Designed For Vista' sticker on it
(just don't expect to win if you actually do that)
How did you know that I had a dog
. It wouldn't make no difference if it was my dog or girlfriend
.
Might make a difference to your girlfriend.........
