Sorry about the delay, folks. I’m in Korea this week and find myself with zero Wi-Fi access. Strange considering this is one of the most wired (’wired’ being the operative word here) countries in the world. Anyway, without further ado the winners of the Target Limited Edition Shaun White Snowboarding for Xbox 360 winners are… Read More

Sorry about the delay on this contest, folks, but it’s been busy around the CG office with John gallivanting around Europe spreading his seed all over Marie Antoinette’s watch and all. So, without further ado let’s start this contest. If you haven’t watched our video interview with Shaun White then you’re basically out of the running. Just kidding, but you have to watch the video or you’ll have no way of answering the questions. We’ll give you guys until Thursday at 9PM EDT to win a copy Target Limited Edition Shaun White Snowboarding for Xbox 360. There are two copies up for grabs.

Now, there are two ways of winning, so stay with me.

Here’s the interview I promised back on Friday with Shaun White. YouTube wasn’t keen on my 17-minute interview with the snow/skateboarding sensation so I had to move it to Blip and by that time it was around 8 PM. In short, Shaun White is a PC, doesn’t like the iPhone, loves his BlackBerry, is a big fan of iPods, and almost ate it during our interview at the CG office.

Oh, I haven’t forgotten about the contest either. We’ll post that later today.

That’s right, readers, we’re interviewing Shaun White tomorrow to talk about his upcoming video game from Ubisoft: Shaun White Snowboarding (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii). We want to know what you want to know, so drop your questions into comments and we’ll be sure to try and get them answered tomorrow.

Oh, and we’re having a contest to run in conjunction with the interview to give away two copies of Target Limited Edition: Shaun White Snowboarding, so be sure to check in tomorrow afternoon around 6PM EDT or a little earlier.

The special Target limited edition of the game will have exclusive extended content and features that consumers won’t be able to find anywhere else, including the addition of a fifth mountain – the Target Mountain – and the ability to ride on Shaun’s board.

Shaun White Snowboarding will be hitting stores this winter and the Wii version will make use of the Balance Board for a quasi-realistic snowboarding experience.

The game itself looks pretty cool — you’ll need to travel around the world in the hopes of finally meeting up with Shaun in Park City, Utah. One seemingly odd feature is that you’ll need to pick a suitable cameraman before you hit the slopes and, while snowboarding, your cameraman can give you little boosts. The game’s being developed by Ubisoft, so who am I to question the inclusion of camera operators?
