Sony's really laying it on with their surveys. Guess they really wanna please the fans. The latest survey that popped up suggests that the PSP may be used as a device to record gameplay on the PlayStation 3, among other things. Details after the link.

Howdy folks, It's that time. Time to announce the winner of the Neruos OSD contest we started up a few days ago. Did you win? Have you got a chance? Of course you have... providing you left a comment for the contest and have deemed it fit to sacrifice and devour a rather large, orange bird to the gods of luck this fine day.

Read on to find out whether you're a winner!

Answer one simple question and win a $100 Amazon Gift Card and a Digital Innovations Maintenance Kit including a Game Dr, a Laser Lens Cleaner and an LCD/Plasma Screen Cleaner.

QJ.net in association with Digital Innovations wants to kick start the Holiday Season by giving away cool stuff!

Head on through to the full article for more details on how to win!

The Neuros OSD is the successor to the popular Neuros MPEG4 Recorder 2 we reviewed a while ago. With a  higher recording resolution, Ethernet support and a USB host, the Neuros OSD allows you to digitize you favorite video content (DVD, VHS tapes, TV shows, …) in the MP4 format for playback on your TV or your portable devices.

What do you have to do to win? Just comment on this post, yeah that is it, no work required on your part. Hit the jump for more details!

Our good man PSPJunkie_ at the QJ forums has just announced a homebrew competition that they're hosting. It's the PxP Homebrew Competition and they're going to be accepting entries starting Wednesday, January 17.

The contest will only be open to U.S. residents and the grand-prize winner will bag a Neuros MPEG Video Recorder 2. And if they can find more sponsors to fund the prizes, the 2nd- and 3rd-placers will win US$ 50 and US$ 25, respectively.

As for the rules, you have to remember that above all, your entry must be completely original (no updates!). Emulators aren't allowed, and any Lua game must have its own eboot. You'll have to make sure your entry has an icon0 and pic0, and must include a splash screen to be provided by PxP. More rules are still being drafted, and PxP should have them all up on the forums shortly.

All entries must be submitted within the next two months as the contest ends on March 17. Time to brush up on your coding skills, guys. If you've got any questions, you can either discuss them in our forums, or click the "Read" link below.

All good things have a beginning and an end, unfortunately this little article signifies the end of another wonderful contest made possible by the folks at Neuros, hosted by yours truly at QJ. In any great battle there are winners and losers, unfortunately there could only be one winner this time around, and his name (or digital name) is... Califrag! Congrats dude, well played and thanks to everyone for entering.

Califrag's already been contacted for the deets on his shipping info and Neuros will make sure his pleasure bundle finds its way to him post haste. Again, thanks to everyone for entering, don't lose hope if you didn't win, you never know when another contest will just pop up out of nowhere! It's also worth noting that Amazon currently has the Recorder 2 on sale for $99, $30 bucks off the regular price!

Christmas Cheer and Yuletidey lurv from the guys at Neuros and the entire QJ network staff.

So you've been a little naughty this year, maybe Santa isn't exactly thrilled, maybe the red-suited fatman won't be zipping down your chimney to shower you with gifts and yuletide joy, never fear, QJ and Neuros have got your back. You might be thinking we've already given away a few of these, but you'd be wrong (ish) this is a whole different beast. What the guys at Neuros are offering today is the advanced model of the regular Neuros Recorder 2, this is the Neuros Recorder 2 Plus! What that means is that you'll be able to use this swanky little device not only with your PSP, but with your iPod and those new fangled smartphone devices all the cool kids are carting around these days.

Those fine fellas at Neuros are at it again! Turn your back for half a micron and they're offering up yet another great deal. We've already got together with them to give away Recorder 2's in the past, the good news is that it doesn't look like we'll be breaking that tradition any time soon. Put simply, Neuros is giving yet another one of their well reviewed Recorders away to one lucky QJ reader. No contests, no quizzes, no hoops to jump through this time, all you have to do is reply in the comments section below with your registered QJ username for entry, we'll hold a raffle, pull a winner out of the hat and BAM! A Neuros Recorder 2 will be winging its way to you before you can say "John Travolta sucked the life out of Battlefield Earth but Barry Pepper and Forrest Whitaker weren't that bad in it"... or something.

Hmmm... that seems to be about it, well what are you waiting for? Get to commenting!

The Neuros Recorder 2 might be turning one year old in December, but it doesn't diminish the awesomeness of the device. In fact, people who've been looking for an excuse to buy more tech will probably be pleased to hear that the Neuros 2 is once again on sale.

We picked up word of another Amazon markdown, and the Neuros was one of the products getting a price reduction. The Neuros is currently being sold for US$ 99.99, and the sale only has two days left. For those who haven't heard of the doohickey, the Neuros Recorder is a mini digital VCR your PSP, iPod Video, cellular phone, or other handhelds.

Now, before you start flaming us with sentences like "QJ sucks," or "Woohoo I wanna have ur babyz!" it would be good to note that the Holidays are coming. For the budding video editors out there who want to make skating trick vids while playing Tony Hawk on your PSP, or the gamers who know someone who could use this, it would make a pretty interesting gift.

If you wanna grab more information, check out the review we made on it some months back. Just remember: contrary to the comments on the linked article, we're not advertisers. We just have the very bad tendency to sound like them when we're in a drunken stupor while writing. Enjoy!

Well folks, what began a week ago is officially drawing to a close, after all the entries were tallied (a huuuuge massive ton of entries, thanks to all who sent in answers) and counted, we finally have a winner. A big thanks to the folks at Neuros, they've been really kind sponsoring two wonderful contests in a row with sucessively better prizes. Anyway, I suppose it's time to get to the meat of the matter and let you guys know who the winner is eh?

Well, you'll have to find out just who won by clicking to check out the full article below. Also come on in and see pictures sent in by our previous contest winner!
