This video contest by Gamefly is great because you get to tell everyone about your love of gaming while dressed as your favorite video character. (In case you’re not familiar with Gamefly, they offer online video game rentals for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Xbox, Wii, GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance.) The grand prize winner gets hotel accommodations and round trip air transportation for 2 people to Hollywood and could appear in a GameFly TV commercial as well. Approximate value of the grand prize is $4,000.

You submit your online entry by making a video 45 seconds or less dressed as your favorite video game character and telling everyone why you love GameFly and why the character you’re dressed as is your favorite. You may enter the Contest as many times as you want. You can also submit an in-person entry by attending their event on September 23 at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone, 729 7th Ave, New York City, 12pm-6pm EST. All entries must be submitted by September 30, 2008 at 10:00 AM PST and don’t forget to review the official contest rules. There’s a few video contest entries already posted on their site, but I think there’s still a good chance to win.

(Between you and me, if you’re planning on entering this contest, you may want to keep the camera rolling so you can enter this halloween costume contest too.)
