Microsoft searching for Gamer Dads

By Spencer . May 31, 2007 . 7:14pm

To celebrate Father’s Day, the Xbox team is looking for stories about great dads who are also gamers. Anyone interested on giving their father fifteen seconds of fame can submit an essay between 250 to 500 words in a contest to Microsoft. If you draft the winning entry you will win:

One (1) Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment console

One (1) Xbox 360 HD DVD drive

One (1) Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

One (1) VIP Xbox 360 Accessories Kit including a Wireless Controller, Memory Unit (64MB), a Wireless Networking Adapter, Universal Media Remote, 2 Play and Charge Kits and a Xbox 360 lockable metal travel case

The prizes are yours to keep if you’re 18 or older for writing the essay. I imagine if you’re writing about someone you admire you should share the bounty with them, at least give them the 360 to play. The contest is running now and it’s going on until June 9^th.
