CONTEST: Get the last comment on this post before 3PM Eastern, win awesome stuff

WINNERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN UPDATE!!! After a ridiculous 200 comments in the final ten minutes, we looked at the times in our system and selected four winners based on who got closest to 3PM without going over. First choice of prize will go to:

rrg482 for this comment.

Second choice of prize will go to:

Jim for this comment.

Third choice of prize will go to:

Brian for this comment.

And sloppy fourths will go to:

Lindsay for this comment.

Hilariously, Greg Voakes of Fork Party missed out on winning by placing this comment a mere one second after 3PM. Sorry, Greg.

We’ll be emailing the winners and giving them choice of prize in the order they finished. If for any reason they do not meet the criteria listed below, we’ll dig down further in the list.

Thanks everyone for playing and please support the companies who were kind enough to sponsor us and allow us to give all this away. That was a lot of fun and we appreciate your support of the site. We’ll do this again soon!

Original post:

We’ve got a bunch of stuff to give away, including a $250 Grace Digital Wi-Fi Music System, $230 Atrio headphones, $100+ prize pack from Gillette, and a $70 iMainGo portable speaker system. All you have to do to win: Be the last to comment on this post before 3PM Eastern.

The rules: 1) This contest is open to US entrants only (sorry, Canada). 2) We’re using our internal commenting system to verify which people got in before the 3PM cut-off. Your clock is irrelevant. 3) You MUST use a valid email in the comment form (otherwise we have no way to contact you…no spam or signing up for anything in return, promise). 4) The person closest to 3PM without going over (i.e. 2:59PM and 59 seconds) gets first choice of prizes. Then the second closest gets second choice. And so on
