Use your head, win a handheld. UPDATE: The contest is now over.
We've all seen the DS Lite. It's sexy, and according to Jonny's review, it's
of hardware, too. Thanks to our partners at href=http://www.lik-sang.com/list.php?category=273&lsaid=262405&>Lik-Sang
we'll be able to give one lucky reader out there one of these super-sleek
wonder-units. The premise is simple: all you've got to do is write an
explanation (100 words or less) of an alternative use for the DS Lite. The
flashlight for a miner's hat; a really expensive paperweight; even using its
ultra-thin shell for cutting fruit in half, samurai-style! We're looking for
the most creative ideas, not the best writing (thus the word limit), though
being clear, concise, and funny can't hurt. You may want to check our DS
Lite hardware profile to look at the system and read about its features, to
help you find ideas for your entry. The rules are as follows:
- Must be 100 words or less.
- One entry per person.
- Idea must be family-friendly.
- Include your real name, plus a screenname if desired (in case you win),
and make sure you email us from an address we can reach you at in the next
couple of weeks.
- This contest is open to our readers worldwide.
- Employees of Planet GameCube and Lik-Sang are ineligible. Winners of
the PGC 7th Birthday Bash contest are also ineligible.
- By entering the contest, you grant Planet GameCube permission to post
your entry and name (or screenname) online.
As long as you meet those minimal standards, you're in! The contest starts
today, April 29th, 2006, and ends Sunday, May 14th, at 12 Noon, Eastern
Time. The contest is open to readers worldwide. Simply send your ideas in to
