FEST07 Red Gate XBOX 360 Winner

NxtGenUG member Chris Sexton was thrilled to bits last night as he turned up for the NxtGenUG Rub-on-Rails event in Coventry. He got to pick up his prize for leaving feedback from Fest07. The prize was an XBOX 360, with two titles: Rare's Classic : Viva Pinata and the unforgettable Lara Croft in Tomb Raider


lovely XBOX 360 with games

The prize had been donated by Red Gate in supporting us with Fest07. Chris's feedback was drawn from all the feedback entries, and he felt a lucky chap.


NxtGenUG Co-Founder Dave McMahon trys to get friendly with Chris Sexton and his shiny XBOX360 - it won't work Dave, he's not gonna let you play on it.

Chris said...

Just wanted to say once again thanks very much for this, and thanks too to Red Gate for sponsoring the prize draw.

My son is very excited and the timing is great because it's just in time for the summer holiday - he's really keen to get going on Viva Pinata!

As for me, other than having a beer and a game of Halo 3 I'm actually really looking forward to getting started on some XNA development too - I thought the XNA night and Peter McGann's talk were very inspiring, and his articles are really well put together too.

So thanks very much for that and for doing what you do. The whole experience with NxtGenUG has been extremely worthwhile and rewarding.

To anyone who is not yet a member of NxtGenUG, becoming a member really is a no-brainer. The sessions are not only highly informative, they are relaxed too which makes for a great environment to learn. All time spent at one of your events is a real investment, and I think the work you do to reduce the EU's "Swag Mountain" is deserving of a Nobel Prize!



Well done Chris. I'm off now to crate up some Galagoogoo's and send them to Chris
