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.
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.

You don’t mean that. I know you…
Alien Emperor Trevor
October 3, 2014 at 19:11
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!” 😀

7010 entries!!! Madness
MIke
October 3, 2014 at 15:10
Yeah I kinda want to see the list at the other end. Who was 7010?
ReaperOfSquirrels
October 3, 2014 at 15:14
Probably Rince, Admiral, or myself…. or some other regular 😛
Anon A Mouse
October 3, 2014 at 15:23
I’m sure I will be 7011 or something.
Sir Rants A Lot Llew
October 3, 2014 at 16:25
Along with me.
RinceThis
October 3, 2014 at 15:10
That 10 was the regulars right?
Admiral Chief 0
October 3, 2014 at 15:11
Indeed, although I think we have about 30 regulars (becoz of the size yes?)
RinceThis
October 3, 2014 at 15:11
DA SIIIIIIIIIIIIZE!
Sir Rants A Lot Llew
October 3, 2014 at 16:25
But only 10 high end commentors 😛
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 15:27
It’s never the regulars…
RinceThis
October 3, 2014 at 15:28
I think LG is biased to us man. 🙁 And we do all the hard work!
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 15:31
Yea. I think the next prize should go to the 30 or so people that keep the comment section going. That’s pretty much everyone I follow on disqus.
Except Ryanza. Always anon.
Oh and Mike
Admiral Chief 0
October 3, 2014 at 15:32
So the prize should go to ALL 30? I DON’T WANT TO SHARE WITH RINCE, OR TREVOR
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 15:32
My bad, ONE of the 30 😛
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 15:33
And don’t worry about Trevor, he’ll never figure out which way to hold the controller and eventually give up.
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:34
That’s because he’s a lefty. The unaligned sticks confuses him.
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 15:35
I’m a lefty, and if only this keyboarmkhirt,bkbmv
Alien Emperor Trevor
October 4, 2014 at 12:24
i didn’t even know there were buttons on the front until Rince pointed it out to me.
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:33
That’s true. I pour my heart out on this forum and allow people to mess with me while I cry black tears. And I don’t even get acknowledged. Madness.
Hammersteyn
October 3, 2014 at 16:01
lol black tears.
Alien Emperor Trevor
October 4, 2014 at 12:23
I’m probably not getting the same mental image that you do :/

Due to a court order I will not say anything about the Random.org’s “randomness”
Johnny
October 4, 2014 at 06:57
Jaco’s a good friend and we are actually pretty avid readers/followers of LG, sure you can’t call us regulars down here in the comments, but he’s a true gamer through and through. You deserve it bro.
Spaffy
October 6, 2014 at 08:33
Yea, just jesting. I’m a sore loser, ok?
FoxOneZA
October 3, 2014 at 15:42
To Geoff it’s 700 010 entries 😛
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:43
lol
ReaperOfSquirrels
October 3, 2014 at 15:10
7010 entries? Wow, that’s decent, but I wonder how many of those are regular readers and how many just found that article through News24.
Admiral Chief 0
October 3, 2014 at 15:10
Indeed, sad panda is us
Mark Vincer
October 3, 2014 at 15:34
To win, name 10 regular commenters!
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:34
That sounds fair.
Mark Vincer
October 3, 2014 at 15:35
To be fair, I’m not that regular. Need more special K
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:35
Who are you anyway? 😉
Mark Vincer
October 3, 2014 at 15:39
I’m number 15 on the list, bitch! *Cries and runs away*
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:42
Trevor is probably NEIN
Alien Emperor Trevor
October 4, 2014 at 12:21
I vanted vun vun!
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 15:37
Trevor. Rince. JJ. Admiral. Rants. Jim. The Hammer. OVG. Umar. Kensai.
I can easily do 20
Mark Vincer
October 3, 2014 at 15:51
DO IT!
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 16:14
Jonah, Brady, Tosh, Sage, Kromas, Mossel, Lardus, ReaperOfSomething, that excheez dude, Ottokie
Mark Vincer
October 3, 2014 at 16:17
Still not in top 20 :'(
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 16:23
Well, if you eat all your vegetables and don’t do anything productive all day, maybe you’ll grow up to join Admiral, Rince and Trevor up in the top echelon. 😛
Mark Vincer
October 3, 2014 at 16:26
Can I not just change my name to Mark Vincer – Staff?
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 16:31
Yea, that should it.
Sir Rants A Lot Llew
October 3, 2014 at 16:33
Hey 🙁 What about me? Don’t make me pull out a lengthy rant!
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 16:35
Uhm, you were under the first 10…
Sir Rants A Lot Llew
October 3, 2014 at 16:37
oh wait… Urm whoops, so I was. I’m just gonna go sit in a corner and be quiet…. It’s the shock of not appearing on the random.org list
Spaffy
October 3, 2014 at 16:39
hate random.org …
Sir Rants A Lot Llew
October 3, 2014 at 16:49

I haven’t been on news 24 in over a year. That site is just so laughable.

Jaco
October 3, 2014 at 15:44
You might want to rephrase that
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:48
I feel your pain?
I suppose this is Lagz after all. Say something wrong once, it will follow you forever.

Mother********* I was sixth on the list. Dunno what’s worse not “ranking” and not winning or being that close.
Travis
October 3, 2014 at 15:22

As usual I didn’t even make it into the list Q.Q Just as well probably because I’d be to cheap to by the games lol.
Congrats to the wiener!
Travis
October 3, 2014 at 15:26
Lets be honest most of us would have just sold this for the cash. probably to buy games, pc components or a PS4.
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:50
You sir are correct. In my case at least.
Hammersteyn
October 3, 2014 at 16:00

It is a pretty schweet piece of kit to be honest. And all connected without a hitch…so far!
JJ of Meridian
October 3, 2014 at 15:32
Just messing around, you know how us pc folk get. ;P
CAE9872
October 3, 2014 at 15:29
I ended up just buying one. Now…I need more SA friends.
So please send invites – my Live tag = CAE9872. Please state you from LG site otherwise I just assume you some random soul…

Geoff promised me he’d let me win after I let him have his filthy way with me, but here I am, once again, not even on the list! I couldn’t walk straight for a week, Geoff! For a week!

A month? Yeees. Far more. Parcels from feb still stuck in system, in Gauteng. We have several parcels, that we sent and are expecting in limbo.

Sigh, so I didn’t win. So I did the next best thing and bought myself one with Shadow of Mordor! So far, loving the console and the game.
