Nothing Says Mother's Day Like Keeping the Xbox for Yourself

Yes, even Xbox is now taking advantage of the made-up greeting card holiday, Mother's Day (May 13th), and taking it to the next level of cross promotion.

The insensitive "My Mom's a Gamer" contest is willing to award anyone over 13 who can string 250-300 words together an Xbox Elite system and a bouquet of ragged out flowers for the winner's mom. All you have to do is write an essay about the woman who gave you life (and gaming) and you could easily win a Mother's Day gift for yourself six times the cost of hers.

Apparently, this is better than just forgetting.
