I wonder if Paul Thurrott is lurking on the forum. It would definitely be bad for anyone entering this competition if Pauly-boy wanted himself a free Xbox (but he probably was already sent a free one by Microsoft, so
)

I was meant to say that you say:
=============================
Competiton Length:
The competition is open from right now, up until the 31st of July, 2008. Prizes will be sent to you within one (1) month of us deciding the winner (a decision will be made by the 5th of August, 2008).
==============================================
Sadly i am going into hospital for a majour operation on 29th July, even thou i will have someone at my flat but will i have to confirm anything by email if i did happen to win?
reason being only me who knows how to use a computer, and if confirmation is nessecary then i cant reply, unless i email my home address incase.
Can a mod answer my question? , who knows i might be lucky and dont want to loose out if i did happen to win.

Once we've decided who the winners are, they'll be contacted by us for their address for the delivery, and we'll try to make an estimate on how long it'll take (so you know when it'll arrive), however we can delay it for up to about a month if necessary.

Hardware is preferred, where possible. What exact program where you thinking of reviewing?

Neat! I ain't too good at writing reviews buy hey, I'll give it a shot!
I may do a review of the AMD 6400+ 3.2GHz processor when I will buy it in the summer holidays (Starting 22nd July so I better get starting then). I may add some Benchmark Videos of Crysis, Bioshock, COD4, UT3 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. which are some games I struggle with my AMD 4600+ 2.4GHz dual core processor)

Should it be sent in Microsoft Word document form? Because I have pictures to go with and it'd be easier to use Word for that.

I'll do a review on the Asus R1F tablet PC. I'll start writing it in the holidays (from 5 July).
