Win a DJ Hero bundle and build your skills!

by Dan on August 30, 2010

The last few weeks have seen some dramatic sales on DJ Hero bundles. Well, I can do them all one better: How about free?

As we get closer to the release of DJ Hero 2 in October, I am more and more nervous about my DJ skills. The multiplayer options are vastly improved; when it comes to the inevitable Playing With Swords events, will I be able to cut it? So I’m practicing on the original game a little more often now, and figured you might want to do the same — call it a warmup period before things get really intense.

So I’m giving away 10 — ten! — DJ Hero bundles and if you win, you get to choose what platform — PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Wii.

Keep in mind that the DJ turntable that comes with the existing kits is the same unit you’ll find in the DJ Hero 2 bundles — there are some fun cosmetic changes in the DJ Hero 2 Party Bundle, but if you’ve got the turntable from the original, you have no need to upgrade. Of course, you will want a second turntable for local multiplayer, but if you win this, you’ll already have one…not to mention some practice in on it before your friends come over.

To enter, you need to answer this trivia question:

Which celebrity DJ appeared at the Activision DJ Hero 2 preview event in San Francisco in late July of this year?

If you need a hint, the answer is on this website. There’s a photo and everything.

Send an email (one per person, please) to freestuff@oneofswords.com with the subject line “DJ Hero Warmup” before Monday, September 6th at 11:59 Pacific time. In addition to your trivia answer, please include your name, address, phone number (just for FedEx if something gets lost), and of course, your platform of choice. Full details are in my Contest FAQ so give it a look — it’s chock full of answers. Well, it doesn’t answer the trivia question, but it answers other important stuff.

Good luck and get ready to build your DJ skills!

UPDATE: The answer was DJ Qbert (as you can see here) and the winners are below. Weirdly, four winners were from Ohio, and three of them chose PS3 — everyone else asked for 360.
