The Sopranos. The Beatles. Lindsay Lohan's hotness. Just three examples that all good things come to an end. So does GamePro Arcade's three week console point card giveaway program, Autumn of Arcade, which reaches its conclusion today.
But don't think for a second that this is the end of GPArcade's generosity. At least once a month I'll be giving away something - codes for downloadable games, console points cards or (on rare occassions) gaming schwag. In fact, starting sometime this week we'll be handing out a copy of Bejeweled Twist for you to download on your PC. Besides being a place to win prizes, GPArcade is a great place to find the latest news, reviews, interviews and articles on downloadable games and downloadable content.
Congrats to our PSN card winners listed below. In order to claim your prize, log on to GamePro.com and add my editor (and boss, so be nice to him) Tae Kim to your friends list (gamepro.com/profile/view/TKK) and look for a PM from him sometime this week. Hit the jump to see if you've won.
Unicorns. Dragons. A good decision by George W. Bush. What do these things have in common? You just don't see them. Feel free to add PSN cards to the list. Those bad boys are harder to find than a good DeNiro movie in the last 10 years.
Well, this week is your chance to earn a one of these rare PSN card. Autumn of Arcade wraps up its final week by offering up three free $20 cards. How? Same way as the last 2 weeks. Just tell us what you'd buy with it. Starting right now, post a comment on any blog post this week and you're entered to win. Mega Man 9? PixelJunk Monsters? Siren? One of these could be yours if the comment is right. And randomly selected next Sunday. Good luck.
Starting today can gamers pick up the AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack. I know what you're thinking..."Awesome! I love AC/DC and they rock! Now I actually have an excuse to wear that school boy outfit I bought 2 months ago." True, true but this isn't as cool as it sounds. First of all, the 18 live song disc is going to set you back 40 clams. 40 clams!. Even worse, you have to go to Wal-Mart to pick it up. That's the ONLY place you can get it. You can't download it, you can't go to the more convenient Best Buy or the much cleaner Target, its The Mart or nothing (okay, you CAN get it at Sam's Club but its all the same evil corporation). I'm curious to see how well this sells. Read the press release for all the details.
On a brighter note, the three 2000 Wii Point card winners are listed below. Congrats! Log in to GamePro.com tomorrow and look for a PM with your code. The final week of GamePro Arcade's Autumn of Arcade starts later this evening. Look for a post on it in a few hours.
Wii Point card winners: GEMPadre036, Joey_V5, ShortHairedOffender
Today Autumn of Arcade has officially reached its halfway point. What is AofA? Glad you asked. In case you haven't heard, its GamePro Arcade's way to give back to the gaming community. We're like the Pinehearst Company in Heroes, except we don't want to take away your powers, we give you power - the power to buy crap you didn't even know you wanted.
Last week we gave away three 1600MS points cards. This week its three 2000 Wii point cards. How do you win? Just tell us what you'd do with your new GamePro Arcade given abilities. Are you going to go Mohinder Suresh and get drunk with power? Or are you more like Hiro Nakamura, thoughtful, well wishing and one part of the C3PO/R2D2-like duo of Hiro and Ando? Either way, let us know us.
You have until Saturday night to put up your comment. Winners will be announced late Sunday. Good luck!
It's the second week of GamePro Arcade's Autumn of Arcade! Now is your chance to win one of three 2000 Wii point cards we're giving away. In week 1 GPArcade gave out three 1600MS point cards (see the post below for the winners), now its time for Wii gamers to get some love. Starting today, with this post, and running through Saturday all you have to do is comment on any GPArcade post throughout the week and tell us what you'd buy with your points. All winners will be selected at random and only one comment will count per contestant. Winners will be announced next Sunday.
Good luck!

GamePro Arcade's Autumn of Arcade is rolling along. In case you hadn't heard, this week we're offering up a chance for you to win one of three 1600MS point cards. The contest started Sunday and ends Saturday. We've had more than 150 gamers apply, but don't let that discourage you from entering. The drawing is completely random.
Just post a comment on any GPArcade article and tell us what you'd do with the points and you're entered. Coming up the rest of the week is an interview with Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People: Episode 3 game designer Mike Stemmle and a number of reviews, including Portal: Staying Alive.
Good luck!
XBLA had its Summer of Arcade. Now GamePro is offering up...(drumroll please) Autumn of Arcade. While Microsoft was putting out some pretty awesome games you could download during its program, Autumn of Arcade is much more benevolent. Here at GP Arcade, we care about our readers. We care so much it hurts. It hurts so much we bleed Wii, XBLA and PSN point cards, which we then wipe clean and give away to you.
Over the next three weeks I'll be handing out nine $20 point cards. Each week a different console will be featured. Starting today and running through Saturday you can enter to win one of three 1600MS point cards (you won't win all 3, just 1 of 3, don't be greedy) for your Xbox 360. The following week we'll be giving away three 2000 point Wii cards, and we'll wrap things up with the elusive-as-a-unicorn $20 PSN cards.
How do you get a card? To qualify to win the 1600MS point card, all you have to do is write a comment on any post this week telling us what you'd do with your points. Winners will be randomly drawn next Sunday, only one entry counts per contestant. That's it. So what are you waiting for? Get commenting!
