Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone. Hope you get to do some grillin’ and chillin’ tomorrow. Because, you know, nothing says “I’m honoring our nation’s fallen heroes” more than steaks and beers. Also, give a donation to Starlight Children’s Foundation and you could win a really great prize, like a DSi.

Here are some gaming/tech/geek contests going on this week. I’ve tried to weed out any “contests” that are really scams to get you to sign up for programs that charge your credit card, stuff like that. Check back every Sunday for more contests and giveaways!

Ending Monday 5/25:

• VIP Trip to E3 at Game Pro – Yes, you have to work for this one. You have to sign up for an account and write a post about the top 20 games of all time. But the prize? SOOOO worth it. Flight to LA, hotel, E3 VIP tickets, and access to GamePro’s E3 party for you AND a friend. While you’re there, you’ll be “working” for GamePro, dong some reporting for them…but again, the prize is totally worth the effort.
• Harry Potter Prize Pack at Mom to Tweens – Ok, I’m not an HP fan, but I know a lot of you people are, so this contest’s for you.

Ending Friday 5/29:

• Rita’s Italian Ice at Mom Knows It All – Yum. If you’ve never had it, please enter this contest now.

Ending Saturday 5/30:

• TV tuner and a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate at MomStart – Binge Gamer isn’t endorsing Vista, for the record. :-p

Ending Sunday 5/31:

• History Channel Ultimate Collections: World War II at An Island Review – This one’s for James and all you other history buffs out there.
• Nintendo DS Spring Bundle at Chic Shopper Chick – The bundle comes with a green DS lite, a copy of Personal Trainer: Cooking, and a carrying case. Even if you don’t want that “game” or the girly-ish case, you’re still getting a DS out of it, so it’s worth entering to win.
• $250 worth of gift cards to Target.com, Amazon.com, & Macys.com plus a copy of F-Secure 2009 at Contest for Moms- Another great giveaway in conjunction with F-Secure.
• $250 Visa Giftcard at Divine Caroline -You have to register to leave a comment, and you have to comment to win. It’s a pain in the ass, I know, but $250 makes it worth it.

Ending next week and beyond:

• Seagate® FreeAgent® Theater at The Dirty Shirt – This is a pretty sweet home theatre system that comes with a a media player dock, a PC dock and a FreeAgent® Go portable hard drive. 5/3/09.
• “Remote Power” Camping Tent Set at My Charmed Life – It’s an electric tent. Groovy. Ends 6/5/09
• $20 Visa Giftcard at Bonggamom Finds – Yes, a second person is giving away a huge chunk of change. No registration necessary! Ends 7/8/09.
  

Are you running a contest of giveaway that I missed? Please let me know, and I’ll add you to the list! We ONLY list contest of interest to geeks and gamers (gift cards, video games, tech devices, fantasy books, etc), so you won’t get your baby blanket giveaway listed here. Sorry! If you’re unsure, just email me and I’ll let you know one way or the other.

Just a small disclaimer – Binge Gamer isn’t running or otherwise sponsoring any of these contests unless otherwise noted. Be smart about giving out personal information and signing up for things. If you see something that looks like a scam, email me to let me know!
