Here's the story everyone: Some quick collaboration and tons of inter-site generosity may just net you your very own copy of PopCap Arcade Vol. 1.

What's PopCap Arcade Vol. 1 you say? Why, it's a disc-based collection of the following PopCap classics: Bejeweled 2, Astropop, Feeding Frenzy, and Zuma. All of which are packaged neatly in a box just like one of those expensive retail games.

360Sync.com and XBLArcade have managed to snag 7 total copies of the disc, not for ourselves, but to give away to our loyal (or new) readers. How does a free copy of this game collection (retail value $29.99) sound to everyone?

Next step: How do you win? Simple. Leave a comment here on this post and in a week's time we'll randomly select the winners. Oh, and if one measly shot at winning free stuff isn't enough for you, head over to 360Sync.com and post a comment over there too. Voila! Two chances to win a copy of PopCap's best.

Get it done people.

(A big huge thanks to DaKing240 of 360Sync.com for getting this contest together and to PopCap for providing the prizes!)

[Update]: This contest is only for residents of the US and Canada. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

Apparently, XBLA's "Hot August" has left a little fire damage on Microsoft's stock of old XBLA games. The big M has announced that they will be offering special Labor Day weekend XBLA deals (at least for four XBLA games). Small Arms, Gauntlet, Zuma, and DIG DUG will all be half price from 5 p.m. PDT on Saturday through 4:49 p.m. on Monday.

For those of you keeping score that means the previously 800 MSP priced Small Arms and Zuma will be only 400 MSP and Gauntlet and DIG DUG will be available for the ludicrous price of only 200 MSP.

Apparently, if we tell David Edery what we want, we might just get it.

And this is the weekend I choose to travel. Damn.

Who is going shopping?
