One of the easiest contests ever: every week for the next twelve weeks a Nokia N81 8GB and limited edition N-Gage bathrobe will be given away on Gamasutra.com in association with Sauna Talk. All you have to do is answer one multiple choice question, which has a hint link next to it where you can find the answer. You can enter once a week, so you effectively have up to twelve chances to win the prizes. (In case you're unaware, Sauna Talk is a series of videos designed to advertise the N-Gage platform to developers, but anyone can enter the contest.) (via the Official N-Gage Blog)

"but anyone can enter the contest."Actually this is not true.In the terms and conditions of the contest it is written:"This Contest is open to contestants who are at least 16 years of age and who are working or related to the games industry, anywhere in the world."
Am I correct that it says you can win an N81 8GB? Seriously? Anyone else *slightly* underwhelmed by that?
Ricky you're missing the main prize - the bathrobe. I'm sure the N81 is just so you have something to put in the pocket so its ready for when you're attacked in the sauna / shower psycho style.
"This Contest is open to contestants who are at least 16 years of age and who are working or related to the games industry, anywhere in the world."
Ooops, I didn't see that bit, they didn't have it on the main contest page, and they didn't mention it on the official N-Gage blog either.
I'll alter the article, though Nokia/Gamasutra don't really make clear what they mean by being "related" to the games industry.
Anyone else *slightly* underwhelmed by that?
If it's FREE, that's not a bad phone at all. 😊 It's got pretty good sound quality and from a developer's point of view it's another test device to check code compatibility.
And as Rafe says, the exclusive bathrobe is obviously the main prize.
Article now updated, but as no one reads T&C pages I suspect the majority of entries will be from ordinary gamers anyway.
It asks for an organization, so probably fake orgs and stuff people put will be disregarded.
ps. that bathrobe is so mine.
"Arnold Faber" models it so well in the actual videos, soon everyone will want one:

If you dont like the n81, simply sell it off and use the money to contribute towards a phone that you like. Or use the money elsewhere... Thats what I would do - if I ever win :P
