Wizbang Tech is giving away a Sony Playstation 3 to one lucky reader.
We keep adding ways to enter, and picking more finalists, all leading up the December 15th giveaway. We've already got 13 finalists and we'll be adding more this week.
Assignment 8 revisits an earlier them, in fact everyone who completed Assignment 4 is already in the running. In a nutshell, tell us why you want a PS3. The best place to do that is in the Assignment 4 thread, but we will consider entries left here together with those already in the Assignment 4 thread. Two finalists will be chosen on Sunday evening from ALL of the entries - even those that were entered previously.
Good luck!
Note: The Technorati favorites used in Assignment 5 will be used in future finalists drawings, and Monday's assignment will involve the new Wizbang Forums, and be for members only...
Update: Contratulations to Joanne and
madconductor, who join the list of finalists.

Nostrodamus' Almanac of 156... (Below threshold)1. Posted by timturk | December 9, 2006 4:24 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Nostrodamus' Almanac of 1564 quatrain 13:
"Death through spite he will cause others to shine
And in an exalted place some great evils to occur
Sad concepts will come to harm each one
Temporal dignified, the Mass to succeed"
is such an obvious reference that I should win this PS3, it's downright uncanny.

I already entered once the first time you had this assignment, but wasn't chosen as a finalist yet so allow me to try again. The sad story method didn't work so i'll go another route.
If you don't give me this PS3, i'll deport any of your family members who are not United States Citizens, conveniently lose your passport documentation if I run into you at the border, and take you back into our super secret detention rooms looking for those illegal substances I just know you are hiding.
Oh, and if that's not enough, i'll deport your dog too.
Also, if you think i'm joking just remember that we are no longer living in a free country. Us Federal Government officials now have absolute authority ever since President Bush suspended the writ of habeas corpus.

basically i don't have much of a "need" for a ps3, so i'm not going to go for the sympathy angle. i hope to win this ps3 because i currently do not have one and i am not trying to win it so i can sell it. i have an hd tv, but nothing to play on it. i want a ps3 because grand theft auto: liberty city stories will be coming out soon and i am sure not going to play that amazing of a game on a ps2. i just hope i get lucky and win this thing.

So i can hone my Dance Dance Revolution skillz to fit the worldwide jihad, and to foster my indoctrination into the Bushchimpymchitlerburton youth brigades.

Getting a PS3 is a crucial part of my vast right-wing conspiracy.

I've been playing and laughing a lot lately. The following is trite but it's true and it's mine.
I'm your average picture of an old woman having a ball with grandchildren. I'm even helping parent one of them.
What's not Betty Crocker and normal is that I'm dealing with hepatitis C and Interferon treatment and it's nasty side effects. I can't buy a Playstation 3 because I'm poor, disabled by bipolar illness and a spine injury.
I want one because I want to play. Playstation is the best and I know it. Back in the day when I had a career I sold Sony erasible optical drives and drive jukeboxes.
I've learned to ask for what I want so here goes. I really want your toy! I have no tech toys and now that I'm playing I want to add that dimension to my life. Playstation 3 is the best entertainment to be bought.
I want it. I need it. I deserve it. Please let me have it. Oops I've been hanging out with the 2 year old too much.

I think I need this Playstation because my husband won't stop hopelessly asking why he can't get one if they become available at the stores. The truth is that I think we have better, more important things to spend our money on, but I also want him to have one of these so he'll shut up about it (and so he'll be happy). Please pick me so I can stop hearing about it every single day when he comes home from work.

I deserve a PS3 because I once murdered a guy who worked for Microsoft.
Not really. But still...I would consider it if that would get me a free PS3! :-/

I want a PS3 because I think it would be cool to play. Honestly, I don't play that often, but it would be sweet to have it. I don't let video games run my life, it's more of a relaxation time for me.

I think I should win a PS3 because I am a hard working student with a huge dept and hefty tuitioun payments and can't afford to buy one.
Thanks,
Phil

I want a ps3 to see if I can continue loving sony despite their quest for exclusive media formats. also, it would help me try and break my chronic masturbatory habit.

I am a simple old retired guy with a grandson that would love me to death if I gave him this Sony Playstation 3 for Christmas and I don't have much $$$$$$$$$$$. If I don't win it for him, he will kill me. Either way I'm dead.

I don't need a PS3. Neither do my lovable but already quite spoiled children. Neither does my husband, despite his constant insistence that he wants one "for the kids". That being said, I would like one. As would the kids, and the husband. But we don't "need" one.
I know some other people that don't "need" one either, but who might like one, and even more importantly, most likely deserve one more than most people.
So, if I win, please send it to 7100 Georgia Ave. N.W., in Washington DC
