This announcement will stay at the top of the page for all of February.

Have you heard about Overstock.com’s Valentine’s Day game? Overstock.com is hosting a contest called the Game O Love. The contest begins tomorrow, January 25 and runs until February 11. The game isn’t live yet, so all I can see is the little description on the front of the site, which reads “Pick your Valentine’s Day gift from thousands of prizes and let your sweetheart win great prizes for you the old fashioned way…By force”. I’m terribly intrigued.

Obviously since this is the internet we’re not talking about arm wrestling, dueling or a shootout at high noon. I’m very curious about the use of the phrase “by force”. Maybe it’s a light saber online game? Wow, I wish I knew. But, since the contest isn’t live and viewable yet and I don’t know the details, I’m left using my imagination.

If I’ve read the blurb correctly the contest will involve people picking out prizes. My hubby generally gets me a decent Valentine’s Day gift, but I usually get him a great Valentine’s Day gift. Now I know he’d love to thrill me, but I think he sometimes isn’t sure what to get or maybe can’t afford it. So for this Valentine’s Day I’d like to get him something he’s sure to enjoy. What is it, you ask? Simply put, it would be a gift for me that I’d love. Creative, yes?

I looked through the site and everywhere I clicked I found things I’d like to have. Books, cds, dvds, digital picture frames, televisions, stereos. You name it, they’ve got it. I even found furniture I’d like. But I needed to find something I’ve really love to have. And then I did. I found the digital camcorders. They had some really nice ones, but I really like the JVC GZMG130US Everio 30gb Hard Drive Camcorder. I’ve been wanting to get a digital camcorder for a while, and the more I look at them the more I want one. This one has a hard drive and can accept sd cards, and it takes both video and still photos. Very cool!

Well, you know where I’ll be heading tomorrow when I turn on my computer. Straight to Overstock.com’s “Game O Love”. What would you like to win for your sweetheart? What would you like your sweetheart to win for you? Comment and let me know if you’ve entered and what you’re hoping for.

Sponsored by Overstock.
