The nights are drawing in, the weather’s getting colder and there’s a faint sound of bells jingling in the distance. Yes, it’s the 1st of December which means that Christmas is almost upon us, and to get us all in the festive spirit, today sees the launch of our Christmas Countdown Competition in association with hmv.com.

Starting today and running all the way up until December 24th, a new window on our Christmas Countdown Calendar will open every day with a brand new prize to be won. Prizes range from new release games across all formats to other special surprises, so you’ll want to keep an eye on it. But be sure to get your entries in quickly – each prize will only be available to win within the first 24 hours of the window opening! One lucky winner will be selected at random at the end of each day via a prize draw.

So if you’re feeling lucky this Christmas, head over to our Christmas Countdown Calendar every day between the 1st and the 24th of December to see if you can win yourself some great prizes.
