Engadget HD giveaway: win a 3x1 HDMI switch and HDMI cables!

The recession antidote giveaways over at Engadget Classic have been a huge hit, and nothing could make us happier -- except a special set of giveaways just for HD readers, of course! We're sure AV gear is one of the first things to get trimmed from the household budget, but we want to make sure our readers aren't totally cut off. Luckily, the good folks at Next Generation Home Products sent us a raft of HD-centric goodies. This week we've reached in the gift bag and come up with two fistfuls of good, basic HDMI connectivity. We'll give away eight bundles: four will come with a 3x1 HDMI switch and a 4-m length of Next Generation's bulk Xtreme HDMI cable; the other four will consist of a 3x1 HDMI switch and a 3-m stretch of Xtreme HDMI cable. With the all the gadgets stacking up underneath your TV, you can never have enough HDMI cables or ports, so check the rules below and start commenting!

Special thanks to Next Generation Home Products for providing the gear!

The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once.
  If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winners will be chosen randomly. Four winners will each receive one (1) 3x1 HDMI switch and one (1) 4-m HDMI bulk Xtreme cable; approximate retail value is $246. Four winners will each receive one (1) 3x1 HDMI switch and one (1) 3-m HDMI Xtreme cable; approximate retail value is $290.
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until Thursday, May 7th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

Bail out every single american citizen with at least $2000 - $5000 so we can use that money and stimulate the economy!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 30th 2009 10:17AM]

And who pays for it? 40% of Americans already don't pay Federal Income tax. How bout lowering taxes? It worked for JFK, Reagan and W.

Instead of giving companies money the gov should give us money to buy products from the companies that are hurting.

Are these Monster Cables? No ... Oh man, you know you won't get good signal on those HDMI unless you're using Monster Cables and their "ultra-ultra" scientifically complicated to pronounce words and technical terms only a Monster-trained technician can understand. Yeah right.

This is a nice gift EngadgetHD. Thanks.

I just finished designing and building the new AV setup for Steve Oedekerk, and the whole process makes me want to upgrade my system now! But now I lack the funds to do it, This would go a long way to helping me out ^___^
