Competition of the Month! - Pepsi & Nokia


The first of its kind - a competition of the month! The first is the Nokia 5800 competition which is being held by Pepsi. If you haven't heard about it, then read on...
Pepsi has been renowned for its great competitions that spark up every now and then, to name a few: Max it for a £1 million and Big Nights In. However, this has got to be one of their most popular competitions. A Nokia 5800 phone, worth £300, can be won every 10 minutes if you have a Pepsi code, which can be found on their can ringpulls or on their promotional bottles. You are allowed to enter as many times as you like and can win as many as possible!
The Nokia 5800 is a great prize in my opinion, a recent, up to date mobile that people will be in awe at when they see you using its touch-screen on the bus. As a phone is given away every 10 minutes, you have to be dedicated enough to drink loads of Pepsi to eventually win a mobile. I love these sort of competitions because you'll buy Pepsi sort of everyday and then if you win a phone, its a great return for your cash!
The only drawbacks I can find with this amazing competition is that it is really annoying to hear when people have won 2 or even 3 phones when many more people are drinking their hearts out to win just one! It can be frustrating when you keep getting emails from Pepsi saying you didn't win also, but its all about dedication!!!

Blue Square Premier Season Review 08-09


Once I came back from my holiday, guess what I found?(you probably guessed right because you'd seen the title you cheats!) It was a Blue Square Premier Season Review DVD of the 2008-2009 season.
Now, let me give you readers a bit of an insight of what I am like with football. I regularly go to lower league games (1.because its much cheaper, 2.its more lively and passionate). Being a fan of Stevenage Borough, I loved that Blue Square were giving away the DVDs. There are not that many merchandise that you can get for the lower league clubs, so this was great and it was free!
The DVD is in a good professional looking DVD case with images both on the DVD case and the DVD itself. It was suitably packaged and ran smoothly when I played it on my Xbox 360.
The content of the DVD has a good roundup and quick review of the 2008-2009 season. It mentions all the teams in the league and shows the great games whilst regularly updating you on where clubs are in the table. Besides that, they have also included a fan's awards part that pops up around 5 times in the DVD. It shows things like "Best goal of 08-09", "Worst Blooper of 08-09"...I particularly liked these parts as they were a breath of fresh air into the notorious football games. The DVD lasts just under 40 minutes, which I thought was just about right.
The only gripe that I have with the freebie is that there were no special features in the DVD. All you can do it watch the review and that was all. I know this may seem a bit odd, but I just wanted that little bit more.
As for rating, the Blue Square Premier Season Review 08-09 DVD gets 4 stars. Yes, it was a good freebie, but by no means great.
