On what may be put biggest competition to date, we’re giving away an Xbox One with Kinect and a copy of Ryse to one lucky reader. The results are in and we have a winner. We’re about to make one person’s weekend. Could it be you?

Well yes, it could – if your name happens to be Jaco Foot! I won’t laugh at your name, because deep down, I’m jealous, and wish I could have won this for myself. Here’s the list of people who almost won an Xbox One.

XboxWinner

Jaco, we’ll be in contact soon to get your details, and get your Xbox One off to you. Thanks to everyone who entered, and thanks to Xbox South Africa for sponsoring the prize. We hope to have many more big competitions like this in future – so don’t feel too glum that you didn’t win.

        Not true. I am happy he won.

        Mostly because when I clicked the link I was thinking, “oh please god let it not be me, what was I thinking when I entered!” 😀
