Microsoft and Pepsi-Cola today announced a promotion where they will give away a new Xbox 360 console every ten minutes for nine straight weeks. That adds up to more than 9000 Xbox 360s that will be given away along with other prizes.

Beginning on August 28th, 2005, you will be able to enter special codes found under the caps of Mountain Dew and other select Pepsi products at a special website located here: Official Mountain Dew Xbox 360 contest website. You can choose which 10-minute drawing you want to enter and can apply as many codes as you want to a particular drawing in order to increase your chances of winning. The codes you enter will also accumulate points that you can use to buy collectible merchandise and gear.

This is a huge contest that is going to make a lot of Xbox fans very happy. The only hard part is going to be waiting for the contest to start at the end of August ...
