k x

gr8 thing i would love tto win it
jak

great looking system would keep my son off my playstation

i would love to win the xbox for my daughter as hers over heated and unfortunately the warrenty has run out .. boo hoo ...

I would love to win it because I love Xbox 360.The 120Gb Hard Drive sounds amazing, ROSALDO

Wouldn't my Grandchildren be happy if I won this, I mightbe able to chat with their Mum then.

the new xbox luks great i'm 12 and onli got a ps2 so it wld be great to have the xbox elite

tremaine x

I would just love to win this for an absolutely great guy who does so much for me

my little boy would love an xbox 360 elite as he has finall come around (after my pursuadng) that its better than a PS3 and it would cheer us up no end to win something as we've never won anything before

Xbox Elite looks fab, my 7 year old son is going mad for one, his xmas wish list only consits of Xbox as he says they are expensive and santa cannot afford everything.... This would be a great surprise.

Xbox elite looks far better than the xbox 360, it is designed & manufactured far better this time & also beats the ps3 console with its amazing 120gb hard drive, love to own one of these fabulous gaming consoles!!

Wow this looks fantastic. The prize is amazing and of course I would love to win it. The fact that it is all black too! 120gb!!!!

well, there is only one way to find out if its better than the ps3....by giving me one and testing them against one another :)

gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme....for my son...then i can have his!!!!!!!!woohoo

i would love to win the xbox elite because i got a ps2 but it is broke. :(

well theres nothing that can beat the xbox 360. i have told my brother for months that this is the best next gen console purley because i think its backed by a better company.

also. havent entered a competition in a long while as i almost weekly did the gadgit competitions from when i was 12. now i'm 15 i seen the 360 elite competition and have some hope that i may win it as this would be a dream come true if i won because i would then be able to start putting money aside for when i need it.

if i win thankyou so much.

i need this for my kid thank u lol

Who ever designed this console should be givin a pat on the back for this one i mean seriosly, it kicks Ps3 ass anyday of the week and with the ability to download new things for it the possibilities are endless. Also with the amount of new games that are available now and others that are due to come out are no match for the playstation games such as bioshock, army of 2 etc

I would sell my soul for this console and it would be well worth it. Im now 16 and plan to go into game design so it would be fantasitic if i would be able to design games and play them on this console as this is the king of console.

I would like to win because I've never won a any thing in my life sorry i must confess i did win ten pounds on the lottery once i've enterd so many competitions i do wonder if any one does win

My granson has asked for x box for xmas i can not afford one so i would love to win to see his face on xmas morning kim

this xbox looks AMAZING and i would love to have it as i want the best on the market.

I would love the runner up prize lol

I would love to get this for my daughter as she has never had a console before and has always asked me for one i would get her one its just i cant really afford one at the moment and its her birthday soon!!!! so please let me win lol thanks xxx

Really want to win this as my last has broken and is out of warranty.

Please please can I have an Elite, I promised my boyfriend a 360 one last Christmas and could not afford it and it will keep him out of the bedroom and give me a well deserved rest !!!

I don't have many thinks as i dont have any money, so if i one i would be over the moon cos then i would have a games console.

I enter competetions and have never won anything to date. It would be marvelous to win this Xbox Elite as advertised in the News of the World as it will make an excellent present and surprise for my 8 year old nephew.
Reading the reviews on this new Elite console, I think it is awesome and blows the socks of the competeters.
I will be extremely thankful if you make me the winner and my nephew will be singing your praises for ever.

I've read NOTW since 1708 and am now so skint, I enter competitions and post on blogs pleading for gifts.

I REALLY WANTED ONE OF THESE BUT I HAD TO BUY MY DAUGHTERS A NINTENDO WII SO IF I WON ONE OF THESE IT WOULD BE GREAT

hello
my 14yr old son has been working his socks off to try and earn enough money towards an x box it would be great if i could win one for him and he could possibly buy some extra games with the money he has saved
thank you

Being from somerset the best gadgets we have are in tractor form they can 360 too , so I would love to see how powerful this little black box of tricks can do!

I am a student & a well rounded nerd , I need a chance to own one of thease as all nerds need one to get through life.x

Im 150 years old & the kids keep telling me I need this black box to become hip&cool so yo!

it looks totaly awsome i only have a ds 360 looks awsome

good luck to everyone! :)

desperately need one of these as im poor because of my kids.cant go out and i ama prisoner. helpppppppppp

my son is saveing all his pocket money up 2 get an x box. if he won 1 he would b delighted.

It would be a dream come true for my nethew he is allways going on about haveing a x box 360 and is a massive fan of Halo which at first i thaught that how can a game mean so much fun and excitement for a child until watching him play the game and seen how competative nature and skill is required to play thses games on the x box until i had a go and now i am hooked. It is his birthday in october and this would put the iceing on the cake and make me the best uncle in the world to give the x box to him and who knows i might even beat he in a one on one challenge mode the score is 134 wins to him to my amazeing score of 5. Please make his day? Thankyou

it would be great if i could win this for my mother. She has looked after my brother and i on her own with no help. She always goes withoutso my brother and i can get the latest things. It would be great if i could win this for her because she always admires the latest gadgets but can never afford one, it would let her know how much we love her if i could win this for her, Matty.x

i never won anything either and with me being off college would love to have some time to actually do something

The last games console I bought was a Sega Megadrive so as you can see I need to get with the times.....

Good Luck all!!

My 2 boys would be overjoyed if i won this.Not had much luck lately. First their nanna died suddenly,not been anywhere with them this summer due to lack of funds,not even on day outs, and now our car has broken down. They have the old playstation of their older sis but would be over the moon to win this - would really cheer them both up - and me - as it is something i would not be able to afford. Thank you.

coooool machine,im lovin it,coooool comp,would be great to win.no sob story from me,though i am skint and we got flooded out her in gloucester.i am living in a cave at the moment,bare conrete floors,no plaster on the walls etc,but hey,i am sure there are people worse off than me.

An awsome machine, and looks ace. A far cry from the Spectrum 48k!! It would be an awsome gift for my three kids. I hope my lucks in! But i would say good luck to all.

^^ Why don't all those with the sob stories enter the competition and then you might win.

would like to win this for my 10 year old son as i have been in hospital for 5 months and he has been fantastic.

AWESOME BIT OF KIT...

Hi there I have enter 100s of competetions and so far have never been "lucky" to win anything. As we love playing games its would meen the world to my family and I to win this great prize. "I've just finished reading about it in todays News Of The World",the X Box 360 Elite looks and sounds unreal.Cant wait to be one of the " Elite".
Thanks.
Noel.

The new x box looks fantastic we would love to win this for our granson. as my husband is disabled and cannot walk now. They would be able to play games together

Hi,there;
Love to have this console,just take a chance like everybody.Thank!!!!!

my boys have been asking for one of these so it would be great to win one .

The wifes taken over my PC, this will give me a much needed escape ;)

The most recent console i have is a playstation one, and i would really like to have the chance to see how much technology has changed in the past few years. Although i have played a ps2 i have never owned one or even come close to owning a ps3 or xbox 360. It would literally be " a dream come true ".
Many thanks, Shaun Hurford.

great competition hopefully my lucks in

It looks a fantastic games console ! I have always been a big fan of computer games and would really love to win this as the amazing graphics and sound are sure to blow me away !

have already bought 2 360 consoles both brokedown with in tha space of a couple of months so would love to win this as im sick of payin money for there dodgy products hopefully the new console has a longer lifespan and not just a new face

Another great prize, keep it up notw.

A beautiful looking machine but perhaps something that Microsoft should have released at the beginning. A high def games machine with HDMI should be a minimum and still cheaper than the ps3

All in one super piece of kit.

Would love to win this Xbox it might keep me off Ebay.

I would love to win as ive we've only got an old ps2,would make a perfect bifthday gift for the kids..fingers crossed

Love to Be Winner, Of The New Xbox elite For ma Room Look forward

I would love to win this as i have never had the spare money to buy one and i propably will never have! It would great to see what i have been missing out on for the last 2 years.

we will see if this lives up to the ps3

lets see if its up to the fight with a ps3

Would love to win the elite as am becoming a serious gamer and need the best consoles to enhance my gameing.

Looks like a great console, would love to win one!!!

i hope i win

would love to win this console to give to my little brother for his 16th birthday,he deserves it for being so strong.. Thankyou.

i never win anything ever

Great pice of kit.I am yet to buy a 360 glad i waited.Like a lot i hope i win.This will sit nicely alongside my ps3.I am not in to what console is better i love them all.

love to win it for the grandchildren

we all love fun and games and this console would certainly give us that x

To win the Xbox 360 would be elite in its self. To Win the elite package would be the ultimate prize. To offer such a prize NOTW sets dreams racing. Please help my dream come true and make my dreams of elite complete.

wow the new xbox looks amazing i would do any thing to have because my other won broke!!!!!!!!!!

i think the ps3 is pants, xbox 360 rocks
xbox won against ps2, will live long and prosper
back to the enterprise now beam me up scotty.

I would love to win a Elite because 360's only last about six months and mine is almost at the end of its life now.

I would love a 360 Elite because it is sexy like me.

My son is XBOX 360 NO1 fan.
He spends every waking minute on live.
We moved 6 months ago 30 miles away and the XBOX LIVE has enabled him to keep in contact with his friends .
He would love to win an ELITE.

this is something my son and i have been after but just cant afford at present. would be brill to win one.

Hello I'm Simeon Blake-Hall

I've never entered competitions before, but today 19/8/07 I decided to because I've always wanted an X-box 360 and now seeing this I said what the hey it's something I've always wanted so let's give it a go.

Me and my and my bro would love one especially with the new Halo 3 coming out!!

We know it would be a very slim possobility of winning one with ten being given away but we also know it would be nice!

Thanks for reading.

I would love to win the xbox 360 elite for my son Keith for his 18th birhday on 3rd september. It would be a briliant present.

the best weekend prize from the best weekend paper!!!

My son has been going on and on about wanting an xbox 360 for over a year now nearly, so how good would it be to win the elite !!! i don,t think he would beleive his eyes !!! he would be OVER THE MOON !!!

i really want to win because it is my eleventh birthday and i only want that but my parents cant afford it so please have me win

I would love to win the XBOX Elite I have never played on an XBOX before but the games & graphics always look cool.

OOh This looks fun
I must say I have never played a playstation game before but would love to give it a go

WOW! MY 4 GRANDKIDS WOULD LOVE TO PLAY THE ELITE WHEN THEY VISIT, OF COURSE, I MIGHT HAVE A GO MYSELF!

please can i hav the xbox elite i cant get the misery off my back.My mum an dad singin on our consle and i never get any attention because me and my brother are always alone locked (only jokin) in our rooms.please can we hav this amazin consle just 2 take our minds off things.Thank u and maybe i can win bibi.

A number of readers appear to be under the misapprehension that the Elite "kicks the PS3's ass". Not so I'm afraid. The Elite does have a larger hard drive, but the PS3 has had downloadable content - game and movie demos, as well as the ability to buy full games since day one. It has a built in WI-FI adaptor (not so the Elite - this has to be purchased separately for another £60), and a built in web browser. More importantly, just to get online with the Elite, you have to buy an annual subscription to XBOX Live. The PS3's online content is all totally free.

i agree with andi, you have to fork out an awful lot of cash after purchasng (or if your lucky enough winning) the xbox 360 elite to bring it up to the standards of a ps3, also no hd dvd drive included as standard (an extra £200 roughly), me thinks microsoft missed a trick here, still thats not to say i wouldn't enjoy owning one as halo 3 does look quite good

Dear News of the World, i would like to win this console because all my mates have ps3's or xbox 360's i would like not to be the odd one out anymore i just wish i could be like them. I love the look and sound of the xbox 360 elite and would like to have one.

Thanks very much Ethan martin age 10 and a half.

I'm not going to beg but winning an expensive Console like the Xbox 360 Elite would be GREAT...if I dont win then I hope they go to people who really have no other way of getting one.
All the Best and Good Luck Everyone.

microsoft have once again brought a better more exciting console than sony! would love to win this as me older bro has the 360 and i have nothing! i have recently set up clan (team which battle online via xbox) on gears of war and would lke to have my own xbox so i can improve me skills!!!! chris aka skelo crew(my online name)

Looks sleek and stylish and would look great in my front room...be lucky

I,ve three grandsons a thirty year old son a thirty year old son-in-law and of course me who would love to play withis fabulous prize

the new xbox looks wikid it will be better than the ps3

i would love to win the new xbox that would be wikid

I would love to havwe the Xbox because most of the games I like are in Xbox format, and I have PS2.

I THINK ALL SIX OF MY CHILDREN WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS
FINGERS CROSSED XX THANX

The xbox 360 Elite looks like a great consol and would bring great pleasure to anyone i,m sure but to win one would be great.

I would like one so my husband has something to play with. He just has not grown up yet. It might keep him and the rest of my children quiet!

i'd love to win the xbox elite cos my m8s av all got one an there always lording it over me cos i cant afford one!
i wanna win the elite edition 2 stick it back at them!

hi i would love to win was as i can not really afford one and i just want to treat my son as he has done great on his tests

I THINK MY PARTNER SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE AS WE HAVE STRUGGLED LATELY. HE HAS JUST HAD A KIDNEY OPERATION AND HE STILL MADE THE EFFORT FOR ME AND MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO GO OUT WITH US AND BUY US A BIG DOUBLE HUTCH AND 2 RABBITS ONLY A WEEK AFTER GETTING OUT OF HOSPITAL.

the xbox 360 has also had downloadable content ( games , demos etc.) since day one so dont think for a second that the ps3 was the first to do so.And whats with all the sob stories? we all have it tough sometimes, just enter the comp. and see what happens and save the stories for the INSIDE SUNDAY mag that comes with the paper.

i won't lie....love to win it for myself.....42 year old dad of two........great

wow would love this xbox...better than any man..wont let me down and doesnt talk back!!

I WOULD LIKE TO WIN THIS AS I AM A SAD PERSON AND WILL BE SPENDIND THE WINTER NIGHTS AT HOME THIS WILL BE GREAT ENTERTAINMENT

Having been a an avid PS1 then progressing on to PS2 for a number of years I have now come to the conclusion after testing the PS3 that is is both overpriced and overspec - I have monitord the quality and range of games from both Sony and Microsoft and have sadly realised that Sony cannot compete ,I prefer "shootem ups" and "driving" games so I am now looking at the Xbox -deos anyone want to buy PS2 complete with Steering wheel/controllers and about 20 Games?

my little boy would love one he deserves one he go shoping for an elderly neighbour how has a terminail illness every day .he always puts other people befor his self at the age of 13 he is still a very delightfull child it wiuld be his dream to own one / he is such a deserving child

love it. iv got the normall xbox. but would love the chance of winning it. i won the xbox 360 wen it first com out but i never claimed it in time so lost it.gutterd rikz

please let it be me! what i wouldn't give..

whatever happens, even if I dont win the xbox, my son and daughter grow up without one, they continue to play outside and make friends I will die knowing I tried whatever I could to get the xbox into their lives... Another day...

i'd love to own an xbox 360 elite as its easily the console everyone has to beat! i own a xbox 360 premium console,but its broke and has been back to microsoft twice for repair.leaving me with 46 xbox 360 games, and no console to play them on. so please NOTW work your magic by picking me as one of your winners,so i can get back to some serious gameplay with all my friends.
thank you.

This competition closes on my birthday!
What a fabulous gift for my children on my day full of treats!

thanks

What a fantastic prize for anyone to win, may it bring hours of fun and entertainment for all the family, GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE.

What a complete package that looks fabulous and is a boys toy dream. Good luck to one and all!

i would love this for my nephew, he gets everything second hand. it would makes him so happy and keep him out of my sisters way for a while.

It would be a dream for me to win an xbox 360 elite as i have to go to work and instead of buying myself this xbox i could buy my faimily my, mum,dad,sisters, everything they want for christmas and get them the best money can buy them!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE WHO'S ENTERED FINGER'S CROSSED FOR ALL!!!!!

Brilliant prize - my children would love it!

Dear Mr News of the World Prize Draw Person,

I would be very grateful if you'd pick my name out of the hat as I have had a most atrocious life. First of all I picked my nose so much that I went through to my brain and have now lost the use of all my extremities.

Then everyone I know died in a meteor strike.

Just when I thought nothing worse could happen, my poor pet cat got sucked up the vacuum cleaner closely followed by the gerbil, the hamster and the python.

Oh no, as I've been typing this, my computer has blown up so I've got nothing to play my games on as my PS2 blew up last week too.

Now I am going to go rescue my socks from the tumbledrier that has just caught fire.......

Hi, I really want to get my boyfriend one for his birthday but can't afford it - fingers crossed!

I've been asking my parents for a xbox for ages still havent had one stil cant afford one pleas let me win ! :)

my family would love this machine,it would give us endless hours of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic console! My kids would be over the moon with this if I won :)

i would love to win one of these as (A) im a die hard xbox fan (B) i cant afford to buy one at the moment and (C) its my sons birthday shortly and this would make a superb birthday present and FINALLY........... because i could play halo 3 on it when it finally comes out.

would love to win this for my nephews birthday he is such a caring and obliging lad. since it has just been me and my daughter he has been very caring to us both.

our 360 died .really miss it cant afford to replace yet. please let me win this one...xx

Really would like to win one for my 2 lads aged 11 and 7 who are so competitive at football games on their ps2. It would be great for them to take their rivalry onto the bigger stage that is the latest Xbox and it's superior hardware!

I thought I was sony thru & thru until I met you THE X BOX ELITE, wow what a treat, THE X BOX ELITE.

This is one mean machine it makes others look so clean

fantastic prize from a fantastic paper/

the best ever prizes from the best ever news paper

Never entered a comp online before but as my daughter has just had an operation and has come home today the chance of winning such a prize is well worth the one in a million chance. love to be able to give her this as a wellcome home present. thank you.
