Each participating website will have its own competition with its own prize, each a HP HDX Dragon Entertainment Notebook loaded with features and software. To maximise your chances to win, visit each of the sites during the competition.

The HP HDX Dragon comes with Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) and is powered by an Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor X9000 (2.80GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB).

The entertainment notebooks will come with these software titles: Microsoft Office, Corel PaintShop Pro X2, Corel Painter Essentials, Corel Ulead Video Studio Plus 11.5, Symantec Norton Internet Security.

For the gamers in us the winners will receive the following games: Viva Piñata,Microsoft Flight Sim, Microsoft Flight Sim Expansion Pack, Gears of War.

And since this is an entertainment beast, you will enjoy the following Blu Ray movies out of the box: Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl, Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest, Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End.

The total retail value of each of these prizes would be over US$5,000 - and there are 31 to be won!

    Congratulations to GZ on being selected as one of the participating web sites.  A well deserved tribute to the quality & management of the site.

    If there's no indication these entries come from the same person then it is ok.

    We understand there are cases of companies using proxy servers and shared flats and are prepared to manage that.

    No need to enter again - you only have to enter once and the answers are matched with the question by date.
