Microsoft launched the "Every 10 Minutes" promotion on Monday with Mountain Dew, promising to deliver the new Xbox consoles to winners before the gadgets hit stores for the holidays. Participants will have a chance to enter drawings every 10 minutes for the next nine weeks, the company said.
To enter, players must enter a unique code printed under caps of Mountain Dew, Pepsi and Sierra Mist bottles into an online account at Yahoo.com. Participants can choose which drawings they enter. In addition to the next-generation game console, winners will also get to select a free video game--either "Madden NFL 06" or "Need for Speed Most Wanted." The estimated value of the prizes is $580.
Microsoft will ship the consoles overnight to winners on the Saturday before the retail release date of the new product, according to a list of frequently asked questions on Yahoo. Microsoft has not disclosed the release date yet, but expects them to go on sale in stores before the end of the year.
