Hewlett-Packard is giving away 31 prize bundles based on its HDX Dragon entertainment notebook PC with a novel twist: 31 blogs are taking part, each one on a different day from May 9 to June 8.
Participating sites include arstechnica.com, jkontherun.com, geekstogo.com, slashdotreview.com, neowin.net, gottabemobile.com and lockergnome.com, There's a full list with links at 31daysofthedragon.com.
The Dragon runs Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) and comes with Microsoft Office, Corel PaintShop Pro X2, Corel Painter Essentials, Corel Ulead Video Studio Plus 11.5, Symantec Norton Internet Security, Microsoft's Viva Piñata, Microsoft Flight Sim, Microsoft Flight Sim Expansion Pack, and Gears of War. Since it features a Blu-ray drive, it also comes with three Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
You'd expect this kind of competition to be US-only, and it certainly looks that way from the blogs chosen to participate. However, the Absolute Vista announcement says: "The contest is open to all sapient human inhabitants of Sol-3**, and is totally free to enter. You live on Earth?" I wouldn't bet on there being any non-US winners, but we'll see....
