Wendy’s burger chain has an online promotion called ’99¢ Bid for Value’ that gives participants a chance to win the “Ultimate Game Room”.

All for under a buck.

The contest is a reverse auction of sorts, where answering trivia questions will bid down the price tag. First bidder to reach 99¢ wins the Ultimate Game Room, consisting of a gaming chair, plasma TV and an Xbox 360 Elite.

These prizes are given away separately too.

• 11:00am EST – 11:29am EST Microsoft – Xbox 360 Elite Console
• 11:30am EST – 11:59am EST Ultimate Game Chair – Ultimate Game Chair V3

Blizzard wants a few dedicated and skilled combatants to enter the new World of Warcraft Global Arena Tournament, where your team can both renown and cash prizes.

According to the official WoW site, players will “battle on special Tournament realms purely dedicated to the competitive format of 3v3 Arena matches”.

The characters fighting it out will be newly created level 80s, and the teams that qualify will battle in an invitational ladder to get a chance at the finals.

Registration and all the other details through this link.

Fancy the thought of a life-size Blood Raven Space Marine guarding your living room? UK residents should head on over to the official Dawn of War II Facebook page and sign up to be a fan: you may just win one of your very own.

Standing over 2 meters (6.5 feet) high, statues are now on-site at five different GameStation stores across the UK. All you have to do is walk up to the thing, take your picture with it, and upload your photo to Facebook page. Then you need to tag yourself and the Space Marine in the photo with the location of the store.

Pretty simple really.

On February 26, the GameStation store that received the most tags will form a panel and choose the winner deemed to be the “most entertaining”. The five participating GameStation stores are:
