Straight from the SEGA’s Blog are the rules and how the contest works.

How it Works

1. You must be following us on Twitter to be eligible. (If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can create one by going to http://www.twitter.com and click the green “get started — join!” button in the center of the page.)
2. At random times on Friday, we will announce the prize we are giving away, and what number of response you need to be to win. Send us a direct message (DM) via Twitter and be that number to win the prize. (@ replies do not count as entries!)
3. All followers are eligible to win all prizes, unless a restriction is noted. Restrictions are usually due to the prize being region-locked. For example, US games that won’t work on UK gaming systems. There may also be age restrictions due to the rating of the game.
4. We will announce the winner on our Twitter feed once eligibility is confirmed.

Make Sure We’re Following You on Twitter

If you are currently following us on Twitter, please be sure that we are following you as well. You can do this by making sure that SEGA is in your “followers” list, or by going to DoesFollow and typing SEGA in the first blank, your Twitter username in the second, and pressing the “check” button. You can reverse this to be sure that you are following us. If you are following us, but we’re not following you, please send a message to @SEGA and we will follow you. This is important, because only people we follow can send us direct messages (DMs), and DMs are the only way to enter the giveaways.

How to Send Direct Messages on Twitter

There are a few ways to send us a Direct Message on Twitter. The easiest way is to go to our Twitter page and select “message” under the “Actions” heading in the side bar. If you do not see “message”, this means that we are not following you. Please send a message to @sega to let us know, and we will follow you. When you click “message” you will be taken to a window where you can type a message and press send.

You may also select the “direct messages” tab from your Twitter homepage, and select SEGA from the drop-down menu at the top of the page. Again, if you don’t see our name there, it’s probably because we’re not following you. Let us know, and we’ll follow you.

There are also many Twitter clients that you can use instead of using the website. These include TweetDeck, Twitteriffic, Tweetie, and Twhirl. Each of these programs works differently, so you’ll want to figure out how to send a direct message on the program you use. If you want to send us a test message, we’ll let you know if we received it or not.

If you’ve been on Phantasy Star Universe (PSU) toady, you would have seen Sonic and Tails trying to run away from a massive crowd; or to put it kindly, players guiding one of the characters, depending on which party you join, to each lobby or to different sites of Gurhal. But the fun didn’t stop there; players were also able to play missions with Sonic and Tails that were ranked from C-S2. Those who wished Sonic a “Happy Birthday” were awarded with two special items, a NiGHTS statue and a “Happy Birthday” statue. If you were one of the lucky people, like pekingduck, to catch a glimpse of them post a link in the comment section for the rest of us.

Rumors spread like wildfire on the Internet and when it comes to sex it spreads even faster. Yesterday, videos and images of a “love trainer” from SEGA Toys hit quiet a few major gadget and gaming blogs.

However, finding Chip may prove to be a little difficult. Check out the Hamidashi Blog for Ms. Rose and Ms. Yashino’s commentary about the newly released Sonic World Adventure soundtrack.
