I meant to get this contest up days ago. Actually, I wanted to post it before Christmas and offer it as a nice holiday treat to all the readers of the site. But news kept on happening, and I just never found the time to post it. But now, on a slow Saturday afternoon, I have a few moments to offer all of you some cool free stuff.

Here’s the deal:

Anyone can win. Doesn’t matter what country you live in, if you win, I’ll send it to you. But I mail on the cheap…so if you live in another country… it might take some time for you to get it.

If you’ve entered a previous contest…things will be slightly different with this one and all subsequent contests in the future. You see, I used to say if you email me a reason why you should win, it might help you out. But after the last 2 contests – where I got a lot more entries than I’ve ever received – I realized that a lot more of you are reading the site and I can’t pick one story over another. So I’m just going to pick random entries as the winners. I’ll ask someone to pick some numbers and based on when you enter you might win. It’ll be as random and fair as possible.

So how can you enter? Send an email to TheColliderMailbox@gmail.com

In the headline say “Collider Contest 12.31.07”

In the body of the email you need to have two things: First is your address, and second is what item you want. If you don’t include what I just said, I’m going to delete your entry….so please don’t forget. As always, you can only enter once… if I get more than one entry you’ll be disqualified.

And most important – this contest is open until January 7th at noon Pacific Time. I will email the winners that day to let you know you won.

Finally, next to each item is how many I have to giveaway. Of course I need to say thank you to the various PR companies who have made this contest possible. Finally, some of these items have already been sent to me and some haven’t. I’ll mail the winners once I've received everything, as I only want to go to the post office once.

And now…what you can win.

The Riches DVD – Season One - (3 copies)

Street Date Jan 8th

Why work to live the American dream when you can just steal it? Corruption moves into the neighborhood on January 8th when The Riches - Season One debuts on DVD from Fox Home Entertainment.

An intimate look at a family that is less than ordinary, The Riches is a “unique and intoxicating” (San Francisco Chronicle) drama featuring superb performances from Emmy-winner Eddie Izzard and Oscar-nominee Minnie Driver, who most recently received a 2007 Emmy nod, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, for her performance in “The Riches.”

Wayne and Dahlia Malloy (Izzard and Driver) and their three children are a family of on-the-run travelers who live their lives conning and scamming the unsuspecting, greedy “buffers” of the world. However one day – in a darkly comedic, yet fortuitous twist of fate – an opportunity presents itself, allowing The Malloys to escape from their past by pulling off the con of all cons, join the enemy and become “The Riches.” Little did The Riches know that while life on the road may have been hard, that was nothing compared to life as law abiding citizens in an affluent gated community!
