In this last of our Crimbo Commenting Challenges, we invited you all — young, old, sick, lame, witty and banterless, to compete on an unusually fair and level playing field. Rather than relying on some modicum of skill, this challenge just needed you to leave one paltry comment in order to win. So, which lucky waster managed to snag themselves a shiny new phone?
Anyway, with no further ado, our lucky winner (selected at random), and the soon-to-be-proud owner of a Sony Xperia Go is… irononreverse, who apparently is looking forward to 48fps being the new standard in cinemas. Oh, you Hobbit-lover you. Still, thanks to everyone who submitted a comment — despite the low standard for entry, we still got some rather… interesting responses.
Who Won Our Crimbo Commenting Challenge?
Win a Sony Xperia Go, In Giz's Crimbo Commenting Challenge
BlackBerry 10: Which Apps Will (and Won't) Ever Be There
irononreverse won by virtue of me not entering.
You’re welcome.
Congratulations IronReverse; for the nature of randomness!
Boo to me for getting your name wrong… IronOnReverse. Shows how often I look at my clothing tags to not get this reference!
I don’t blame you, it takes a special kind of man to read the care instructions on their clothes.
Well done irononreverse!!
wonder if the randomness was based on number of comments posted or just one entry per commentator?
Anyway, well done ironreverse
We took duplicate entries out, don’t worry
Chris, seeing as its Christmas Eve and you, like me, are probably doing bugger all today (apart from listening to Bublé of course). Could you perhaps highlight some of your fav comments from that thread? Congrats to irononreverse by the way!
chipbuttyman chipbuttyman, where fore art though chipbuttyman?
Congratulations Iron on Reverse!
Lucky boy! Enjoy!:)
Whatever you do, IrononReverse don’t load ICS on the Xperia Go. Does all sorts of horrible things to the phone’s performance and battery life.
im guessing you mean dont load stock ics on it, im not entirely sure on the go specifically but usually a well made custom rom bashes out those issues
What about Stock Android?
I was actually referring to the Sony official firmware. As you may have discovered by now, though Gingerbread was OK ICS is dreadful.
Well blow me.
I am honoured to be counted amongst you all as a talentless hack.
You know, I think this is the first thing I’ve ever won, I didn’t even get that Pringles speaker from their Pringles Advent Tree on Facebook. T_T
Thanks guys!
There ain’t nothing wrong with loving a bit of Hobbit.
