$250 Best Buy Gift Card Giveaway

We here at ripten are celebrating our four month anniversary this week and in honor of that, we are giving away a $250.00 gift card to one lucky reader. No purchase necessary, all you have to do is leave a comment below letting us know what you think of the site and how we can better serve your needs as a gamer. We will then randomly pick one comment on October 31st, 2007 and contact the winner via email. For this reason, you must list a valid email to win. The giveaway begins today and officially ends at midnight EST on October 30th, 2007.

We know there are tons of videogame sites on the web, and we appreciate our readers support. Our goal since day one has been to inform as well as entertain, from our original illustrated console characters, to our sometimes misunderstood attempts to poke fun at an industry we all love. While we believe that news should be accurate, reporting it doesn’t have to be boring and unopinionated. If we as gamers can’t laugh at ourselves then what’s the point.

Lastly, and you don’t have to do this to enter, but we are asking our readers to please digg this story (button found at the bottom) and help us make more gamers aware of ripten.com. We appreciate all the help we can get. Thanks.

And now for the legal stuff…

    The site is very user friendly. Everything is very easy to find and gives you the information you want to know without any trouble looking for it. Great site the layout is not boring at all, you don’t want to much going on. You want just enough to draw your attention not to so much to give someone a seizure.
  • Dan
    Great concept and layout. Thoroughly enjoying the site.

  • Dennis Miller
    I am Still kinda new to the site but so far i have really enjoyed it and it keeps me awake at work on the slow days lol
  • Brent Edstrom
    Pick me :)
  • Loc
    So I'm definately in love with your site, gives alot of good feedback on games and for me one big reason why i like this site is that its not blocked from my work intranet which is a huge plus cause when i get home and not in the mood to be social i just start playing cod4 so i really have no other time to check the internet except when i'm at work. keep up the good work guys
  • Jeremy
    Definitely nice, can always find what i'm looking for here :)
  • Ryan
    Great site!
    I always look to you guys before I buy. Keep it up!
  • David
    Nice website, lots of useful info.
  • Cecilia
    Never been here before. It is a very nice site, so how did I miss it all this time? My DD loves this stuff. Myself I just hop around looking for Christmas gift ideas.
  • Simple and direct, easy on the mobile read
  • Val
    Nice site. Very informative. Would suggest changing color and layout for easy viewing.
  • The clean lines and washed colors give Ripten a solid, grid look. I would like to see a print.css so the articles are better formatted for a printer. Very fine use of WordPress.
  • Danielle
    My favorite thing about RIPTEN is the 'top tags' and 'recently written' info on the front page.

    I also really enjoy reading what Drake and Chadd have to say :)

    But, I think the site needs more color. All the white hurts my eyes! And maybe a new layout.
  • Edgardo Rosario
    hey very nice site just jumped on here from another site liked what I saw so I have on my top 5 Favs. keep up the good work
  • Uh yea, i'm here cause i got lost...but i like it so i might stay,
  • Gunny Highway
    Hell Yeah,

    A Free $250 dollars, count me in.

    I never win stuff like this, and yet I still enter.

    Great Site dude, I love reading the articles here.
  • Cynthia Conte
    Like the site, like the info it provides, but yes, it could use more color. I like the white background, it is easy on the eyes. However, it would be nice if each topic down the left and right side of the page had a color associated with it so it can be found relatively quickly with a visual review of the front page of the site. I agree with the comment listed suggesting alphabetical listing for older entries. Also, I would like to see the ads on the site all kept in one area so that the page is less distracting and the reader does not need to sift through all the ads to find content of interest. All in all a great start and things can only get even better as time goes on. Thanks for letting the readers have input.
  • Ryan
    Love the site but needs more colors I love reading the artcles and the site loads fairly quick
  • PeanutButterDragway
    Site is very white but it loads pretty quickly and the articles are good. Never herd of it before seeing the contest. Will continue to check it out though.
  • CrazeeSquirrel
    great contest. i never win anything. i like the writing on this site. keep up the good work.
  • More contests! Nothing keeps me coming back to a site then contests! And this is a great way to do it!
  • Kareem
    Nice site. I would like to some PC Game reviews though! Hope I win the gift card.
  • Timothy Selig
    Layout and design is "ex pro coooool"
    Love your reviews & trailers
  • Despacio
    I like this website because it's just more interesting to read opinionated news rather than the straight facts. After Kotaku, you guys are the next stop in my daily gaming news surf. If I had to rate you guys, it would be a solid B.
  • john
    Great site, fun to read
  • John
    The site is pretty nice. Good information. Though I do agree the advertising is a little iffy and could use some redoing.
  • Rebecca
    Nice website. I don't mind the white color. Too many colors and graphics is annoying.
  • Jeff
    Love the new site! Keep it up!!
  • Nathan
    Very promising site - nice clean interface. Keep the content coming!
  • Jay B.
    The best part of the site would have to be the layout everything is simple and easy to find.
  • Lloyd
    Love the site guys keep up the great work. The lay out is superb.
  • Jaxim
    Count me in!

    I hate sites that have black backgrounds. I'm glad you have a white background. For the poster who said the contrary, might I suggest turning down your monitor's brightness.
  • Will
    I haven't read other comments, so I don't know if it's been said, but the background needs to be black instead of white. It's too bright and hard on the eyes.
  • Joe
    I have to say, the best part of the website is your layout. It is perhaps the easiest of the gaming sites I visit to navigate. Way better than IGN, and very joystiq-esque (that's a compliment). Don't change a thing!
  • Alex
    I like the site, it's a good promotion you've got because this is how I found the site! Wii rocks!
  • Mr Feeny
    Nice looking site and nice giveaway!
  • Doug King
    Looks pretty good so far for a new site. It's pretty basic, but I'm sure the financial backing isn't the greatest yet. I'll add you to my list of sites to frquent. Keep up the good work.
