Newegg Video Contest

101airborne · 11-01-2009, 12:54 AM

Turns out newegg is having a video contest with a grand prize of $5000. The contest is open to any college students willing to put the time into making a video about "what they would do with the money that they saved by shopping on newegg"

Decided to take a shot and make my video here it is!

YouTube - Newegg Eggstreme Campus Challenge - Dylan Stout - Eggstreme Savings Trailer

Feel free to comment to comment on the video.

If anyone else has entries, post them as a response! I am curious to see who else entered!

well that leaves you a long time to cross your fingers

Good luck though.

101airborne · 11-01-2009, 09:27 AM

Yeah, haha. Five grand is a lot of dough, imagine what you could do with that kind of money on newegg :D

Man, I could make sweet sweet love to that site. *Newegg/Dylan mutant babies*

5 grande

. I'd prob spend 1,500 on newegg then the rest on me -_-.

101airborne · 11-01-2009, 09:36 AM

Problem is that they give you a Gift card for 5,000. I suppose you could buy then resell on eBay or something and generate cash that way to spend on yourself.

But first I need to win. Haha

$5k on newegg?

*dreams of a completely decked out gaming computer... plus a new home theater setup... plus a home server...*

*realizes that it's too late to make a movie and I lack a camera anyhow*

Curses! Foiled again!

Best of luck to ya', though.

A cleverly done video, if you don't win the contest, you can sell them the video to use as an advert

Good luck with it, I'll cross my fingers for you, closer to the date

ebackhus · 11-01-2009, 08:32 PM

An absolutely AWESOME video, dude. Very well done!

Thanks guys! If you feel up to it, leaving a comment or a rating on youtube will help my chances of winning!
