Visteon Running Contest to Promote Dockable Game Boy System

Posted on May 4, 2006

Visteon Corporation is running a summer contest to promote the Visteon Game Boy Advance DVD/video game system that docks into a vehicle's headliner. You can see Mario playing in the photograph on the right.

Visteon says the game system can easily be undocked and used in other locations. Here is some scoop about the Best Summer Road Trips contest, which runs May 15 through Sept. 8, 2006, and is open to the first 1,000 eligible entrants.

To enter the free Visteon contest, vacationers ages -- 18 and older -- must document their 2006 summer driving vacations through creative photography and written journal entries. Eligible entrants will receive a Nintendo "Mario" action figure and journal materials for use during their trips. Photography submitted as the participants' final entries must include the "Mario" action figure in front of vacation landmarks.
Visteon will award a premium Dockable Entertainment featuring Game Boy(R) Advance DVD/video game system (total estimated retail value ["e.r.v."] $1,299 plus installation; installation value varies by region) as a Grand-Prize to each of the top three (3) vacation entries based on sites visited, driving distance, creative use of the "Mario" action figure in photos, and quality of written journal entries.

That giant Mario is big but he isn't nearly as large as the one seen hanging out with Ronald McDonald last year.
