The Gadget Show Prizes - Anyone on here ever won it?!

Has anyone on here ever won their ridiculously huge prizes or know of anyone who has?!

I searched the forum and to my surprise there wasnt already a thread to cover this :confused:

why would you post on a forum when you had a truck full of gadgets to keep you entertained

No, but why they feel the need this week to give away almost five of everything was a bit weird. I only have two ears, I don't need five pairs of headphones! That said, you'd probably sell them or give it to family, but I'd rather see more variety. Not a bad prize though.

Its not for the want of trying. I have always wondered what it would be like to have all that delivered to your house, and fill up your living room.

Mr.Bon · 3 Nov 2009 at 00:12

More like fill up the whole house!!1 it would be crazy.....

Mr. Anderson · 3 Nov 2009 at 00:15

It is a bit ridiculous. Perhaps they ration it out to you over a year, so it isn't just one big heap at the start. You have to assume, that companies will give them products to give away if they give the product generally positive review.

They should give you a top-notch burglar alarm along with it.

That or a big scary mutt.

everything and more..

including subscriptions for the sky box or mobile phone you have won etc...

I've not won it yet or the lottery

I suppose the chances are fairly slim

If I had you would see half of it in the MM.

Deific · 3 Nov 2009 at 00:28

I don't know why they give it all away. If I were the presenters/producers I'd want to hoard it.

They make money from the phone calls/texts that's why.

Wish I could win them, I never win anything

Pretty much all decent bloke toys you can think of.. sometimes it takes 5 minutes to announce all the prizes!

Think of all the gadgets you can, and then add a whole lot more of them on top. Sometimes, they even include a car.

I usually record The Gadget Show. Time skipping the competition saves me a good 3 minutes in my day.

The prizes probably don't cost them much anyway. They get it all/mostly free from the manufacturers in exchange for reviews, promotion and TV airtime.

Haha I knew they gave away quite big prize bundles on that show, but that list was insane! :eek:

I feel sorry for the delivery drivers that have to deliver bundles like that to someones house!

whitecrook · 3 Nov 2009 at 02:06

i'm sure gadget show themselves did a feature when they delivered the prize bundle to a winner. A big lorry turned up in the street and just unloaded tons of stuff. The house was full to the gunnels.
