Is this still available or gone 

[Cryptopher]

Hmm this is intriguing - at first I thought that this was simply clickbait but perhaps there is more to this.

Do you have a timescale on when the details may come through?

I'm not saying that I want the Xbox One, but simply want to keep tabs on this thread.

[Nyau]

I don't know what should I think about this.. who wouldn't want? I never had any console, so I would really love to have one!

[Lauda]

Well, I understand that you dont cant say  when you will ship the xbox.But maybe you can give a eta about it,Maybe a month or two.  

EDIT: If you are buying XBOX for winner, Why are you doing that?  Maybe you can send only cost on BTC of this instead off XBOX, or,  Is there any other reason for it?

Is this still available or gone 

Okay guys, please read the thread. He said that he is probably going to ignore repetitive questions. I'm going to clear this up one more time. There is no estimate, nor has this begun. He said that the sole purpose of this thread is to gather interest for his first giveaway which is going to be the Xbox one. He said that he can't give a time frame yet so everyone will just have to be patient.

If we believe OP, then this is going to be the first of many giveaways.

[FanEagle]

Well, I never played on something more than a gameboy or supernintendo so it would be nice to have it, for once, something more realistic than a 2d graphic... well, I kindly miss battletoads... many hours of playing that, I never finished *nostalgia comes on*

Right, But an eta is different to a exact date, because if he say a month,two month, It is different of one year or so.But anyway if it dont can be announced We must respect his desicion.

This sounds wonderful, though it'll be tricky. Quite some winners will not be able to go there for various reasons (too far, work, ...).
So much less "users" will actually benefit.

i have already thought about this. i do realize that some people will not be able to make it to such events. my options are to have the winner verify they live within the general area and has the possibility of making it. (something i don't want to do) or use some kind of "pass" feature during the competition. when i introduce myself and explain how everything works, i can inform people that i am putting my faith in them to think of others and if they win an xbox or tickets they don't want or need to simply pass them on to the next person. i know there will be people who disregard this and re-sell them, but that's fine. if they win the prize they can do what they want with it. i also think it will be interesting to see how many people pass the prize on to the next guy.

However.. will you get some (mili)cents from all of us visiting the pages you'll show us? (no problem at all from me, it just came into my mind...)

this will be a key part of my revenue strategy. traffic, advertisements, a large user base, and maybe one day, sponsorship.

A chance to receive an Xbox One for free? Why not? I'm in!

if i do this, i will probably set things up to give away the xbox for christmas.

i will probably do BTC and cold hard cash at some point. but for now my focus is products because people have an appetite for consumer products. i think it will generate the most interest. it also gives me an opportunity to give things to people they normally would not be able to afford.

[Deathwing]

I am not sure if this is a joke or not but why not! I'd love to have a Xbox One!

[WEB slicer]

it's not a joke. alot of people will be pissed and completely reck my rep if this was all just one big lie.

to be honest, i'm also a little concerned that if it doesn't happen for whatever reason you guys are going to hate me and jump in my ass to the point where nobody trusts me and my account is done for.

i can add a little more detail to this. like i said, since we aren't that far away from christmas, i would like my very first give away to be during christmas. it's a big holiday that most people celebrate and giving is a big part of it so i think this holiday fits my business model well. i also think it will add a certain special something to the tone and flavor of the business. however, i will start to take action and lay the foundation for this business long before christmas. as of right now, this is the plan.....

• for the rest of this month and august i am going to continue talking to people, figure out all the details, and structure the game plan.
• in septemeber i am going to handle the business side of things such as expenses, taxes, legalities, and setting up the business.
• in october i will setup my social media presence, introduce myself, and declare the intentions of the business.
• in november my focus will be to spread the word around social media and interact with followers.
• in december i will announce what is being given away and the xbox will be shipped in time for christmas.
• after the first give away, i will probably do 1 prize a month until i have accumulated enough followers. once my revenue stream can support it, i will offer prizes every 2 weeks.

You sharing us now your details , idea and future plan. Like I said I will keep an eye for this thread for more ETA and future updates . I have an idea now for what will this be. But of course like you I will keep this to myself because Im not sure.

[Lauda]

Well at least you've given people a rough estimate, however 5 and a half months is a lot of time. I'm going to assume that a lot of people are very impatient here. You should have made the thread differently.
I think that a good portion assumed that this is a giveaway that is happening right here and right now because of the title. Some didn't even read your first post here.

Anyhow, I'm still curious. Have you decided how you're going to pick someone?

[WEB slicer]

time goes by quick.

when i posted this it was just an idea. now that i want to pursue the idea and begun planning it's become clear that alot of preparation needs to happen before this is possible. i also can't start giving stuff away without any kind of established user base because i need followers to drive traffic and cultivating followers takes time. anybody who doesn't have the patience to watch this business go from idea to reality probably won't have the patience and determination to compete for the prizes anyways.

i have already posted my current method of how the winner will be decided. i'm not picking the winner. they have to win it by being the first person to publicly respond on social media channels.

Just another idea related to this.
Since the shipping and import taxes may be an issue for some, I'm sure that you credit card (or bitcoin!) is accepted worldwide.
The point is that it could be an idea to buy the product you are after from an online shop from the winner's county.
(But I'm not sure about the price fluctuations).

[WEB slicer]

i will pay the shipping. winners will be responsible for import taxes.

after more consideration, i will not have items shipped directly from newegg. there are several reasons for this. mainly costs but i also want to have the prizes in hand so i can make a video and show people what is up for grabs and i have it in my possession.

[BurgerKill]

this is currently the most difficult question to answer and i am still thinking about the best way to do it.

as of right now, the plan is to make an announcement on social media and inform people of what is currently being given away. after the news spreads around the internet and i have peoples attention i will make a second announcement that it's time to give the prize away. the first person to respond after i make that announcement will be the winner.

wow very interesting!
where you will make the announcement? here?
if so, we must to stay tuned on this thread.
