No More Doom and Gloom... Win 'The Rise of Skywalker' on Blu-ray!

full?d=1584481005.png

(March 17, 2020) Well, folks, I'm not sure how to kick off this Flash Giveaway. Since we announced the contest for 1917 (which is still active), the economy has turned upside down, suffering has spread around the world, and it seems like the Earth is spinning in the wrong direction. We here at AV NIRVANA hope that all of you are healthy, secure, and safe. It's looking like quite a few of us will be hunkered down for the duration, and what better way weather the storm, than to spin your very own Blu-ray copy of Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker !!!

Oh yeah, my fellow home theater nuts, I said: "Star Wars!" And it gets even better...why give away one copy of this historic flick... when you can give away TWO??? Yup. That's right... your good buddy Michael Scott has pulled some extra strings and this contest officially has slots for TWO winners!!!

Once our official disc review of the film launches, a link will post here. Until then, here are a few things you need to know. First, the disc specs, highlighted by a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and DTS-HD MA 7.1 lossless surround sound, are solid. Second, this contest ends on the film's official disc launch day (March 31, 2020). Third, everyone... and I mean everyone... can earn a free extra entry by featuring his or her home theater / media system in our AV SHOWCASE section of the forum. Details, below.

Most of you know the entry rules by heart, but here it goes for those you that are new: If you’re not a member, you’ll need to become one to enter the contest. Membership is 100% free… although you can certainly opt to support our site through various levels of Premium Memberships.

In order to enter the contest, just leave a comment below and you'll gain one entry into the contest. The official – random – drawing will be held on March 31, 2020.

Anyone, including new members and old members, can gain one extra entry by featuring his or her system (home theater or media) on our site's AV SHOWCASE. If you've already have done that, great! If you haven't... do it now! In order for it count, you must leave a link with your comment entry in the discussion portion of this thread. If you don't include a link, no extra entry. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM.

As always, any member with 100 posts will have TWO automatic entries, while any member with 1,000 posts will receive THREE automatic entries! It’s our way of thanking those that have made AV NIRVANA their home! If you want better odds in this or future giveaway contests, get active on the forum!

Best of luck to everyone that enters... May the Force be with You. And of course, the entire staff at AV NIRVANA would like to thank those members that have made AV NIRVANA their home theater discussion destination!

If you would like to become a valued supporter of our community, click here for more information. It helps us to keep the lights on and contests like this happening!

Here’s the fine print:

  1. All entrants must be AV NIRVANA members (100% free and easy to join, including Facebook login) and live within the Continental United States (Lower 48).
  2. All previous Giveaway winners are free to enter.
  3. The contest runs from March 18, 2020 through March 31, 2020 (9:00AM EST).
  4. Two winners will be selected at random and announced in this thread.
  5. The contest winner will receive a new Blu-ray copy of The Rise of Skywalker, shipped direct by Disney.
  6. Any member including a link to their home theater or media system featured in the AV SHOWCASE section of our forum will gain ONE extra automatic entry.
  7. Any member with 100 posts will have TWO automatic entries, while any member with 1,000 posts will receive THREE automatic entries!
  8. Winners will have 3 days to respond to the winner's notification. If AV NIRVANA does not receive a response, the drawing will be run again.
  9. Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.

I would like to be entered into the drawing. I'd like to share pictures of my home theater too, but unfortunately it's a long way from being done.

And you thought I'd drag this drawing out for days.... NOPE. Here we go folks!!!

First off, in light of the current on going crisis here in the US (and around the world),the staff at AV NIRVANA hopes that everyone is staying safe. Best of luck to everyone as we navigate these rough waters.

Also, sending huge positive vibes to @leecreek for a safe journey to a very healthy future!

Alright... now to the drawing list. It looks something like this:
30509


@DELAMOTTE, we definitely value your presence in the AV NIRVANA community... but, as detailed in the giveaway's rules/fine print, Disney is only shipping discs to winners in the US, hence you were left off the list. Appologies!
