Featured Article: TMO Announcement - The Mac Observer Promotes Jeff Gamet to Managing Editor

Eat Skittles, Win Star Wars-themed iPods

by , 6:00 AM EST, February 28th, 2005

As part of the promotional run-up to the debut of Star Wars Episode III, Skittles will kick off a "Hunt fro Grievous" online game April 2 with 110,600 prizes to be awarded.

More interesting than the 100,000 Star Wars screensaver downloads Skittles plans to give away is the grand prize: 100 Star Wars-themed iPods. There's no image of this limited edition iPod either on the Skittles Web site or the game ticket, however.

Five hundred first prizes--a $25 gift certificated to starwarsshop.com--will also be awarded, as well as 10,000 second prizes consisting of iTunes gift certificates--presumably for less than $25--will also be given away.

Kudos to Engadget and Rebelscum.com for the tips.

No dude this is a special 70's themed game. You are a young Jedi wearing bell bottoms and you must hunt down the leader of the separtist droid armies and defeat his evil afro.

So Apple has lined up with makers of sugar water and candy to give away music - they need to line up big tobacco and Budweiser next to get some serious penetration.
