All our competitions are now closed. During
Big Brother 2, we ran various competitions and promotions
to win some great prizes such as: a Peugeot Speedfight 2 scooter,
Game Boy Advance consoles, Logitech Webcams, a DVD player,
loads of games etc etc. For a full list of all the prizes
that were up for grabs, please see below.
Thanks to all those who participated and rest assured, our
competitions will be back for Big Brother Series-3!
Here's what you could have won: (...sounds like something
Les Dennis or the Bullseye bloke would say!)
Peugeot
Motocycles UK - Scooters are fast becoming the sensible
choice of transport in the UK, not least because of their
agility in traffic and very low running/insurance costs. Added
to that the fact they are now very stylish, people of all
ages are choosing to take 'two wheels' instead of four. Peugeot
offer a great range of scooters including the Trekker, Elyseo,
Vivacity and the UK's best selling model, the SpeedFight 2.
Prize: Our prize during BB2
was a £2000 100cc SpeedFight 2 X-race Special Edition
scooter.

Logitech
- Logitech is the world's largest manufacturer of computer
mice and was first to pioneer the cordless mouse. They've
now taken that a step further and introduced the 'Cordless
Mouseman Optical.' This mouse has no cable, therefore reducing
the clutter on your desk, but it also uses an optical sensor
underneath. What this means, is that there is no ball so it
will never clog-up or get 'sticky.' Trust us, when you've
used one these mice, you'll never want to go back to
a conventional one! The company also produces a range of versatile
computer keyboards and some great web cameras... get one and
play at being Big Brother!
Prize: Our prizes during BB2
were Optical Cordless Mouse and Web Cams worth £55/
£60 each.

Game
Boy Advance - The original Nintendo Game Boy was massively
successful, selling over 110 million units worldwide. However,
hand-held gaming has now been taken to a totally new level
with the introduction of the Game Boy Advance. For the techies
out there, it has a 32-bit processor, a bigger 'higher-res'
screen and 4 player link-up capability; it's now much closer
to having 'console quality' gaming in the palm of your hand
than ever before. You can even play your old Game Boy games
and it's available in 4 fantastic colours!
Prize: Our prize during BB2
was Game Boy Advance hand-held consoles + games worth £180
each.

Archos
MP3 and External Hard Drive Products - Archos' Jukebox
range of portable MP3 players/recorders are a cut above the
rest. Not only does one model allow you to encode music straight
into it without the use of a PC (say from vinyl records),
all models have the facility to store PC files. By using an
internal Hard Drive with a capacity to store upto 500 CD's,
you are not limited to storing just music; you can store any
PC files such as Powerpoint presentations etc. You can even
use the Jukebox to back-up or transfer files from your PC,
a unique and invaluable feature. Archos also produce dedicated,
slim external Hard Drives.

Casio
Wrist Camera watches and Digital Cameras - The Casio wrist
cam is a rather neat digital watch that like something out
of a James Bond movie, happens to incorporate a digital camera!
Using a discrete ¼-inch sensor it takes black and white
images at the press of a button and while it can't rival dedicated
digital cams, it's not designed to. The quality is impressively
good however and the watch will store 100 images, which are
transferable to your PC to be included in e-mails, websites
or whatever. There's also several excellent communities and
forums out there where you can swap pictures with other people
and have some fun. Oh, and it tells the time too! Casio also
produces an affordable range of Digital Cameras.
Prize: Our prizes during BB2
were Casio Wrist Camera watches with PC-link, worth almost
£200 each.
