Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are you giving away?
Twelve (12) Xbox Series X consoles, skinned in Triple Black ICONS, and twelve (12) PlayStation 5 Disc Edition consoles, featuring our all-new matte black PlayStation 5 Faceplates.
- How do I enter?
-
I already follow both of you! Am I still eligible?
Of course.
-
Is the giveaway open worldwide?
As long as we ship to your country, you're eligible.
-
When are you selecting the winners?
Two winners will be drawn on January 1st, at 1:00 PM EST. One will win an Xbox Series X and one will win a PlayStation 5 Disc Edition.
Winners will continue to be drawn, two at a time, in 48-hour intervals, until all prizes have been given away.
- How will the winners be selected?
-
How do we know it's truly random?
We're using a custom Python script which was specifically programmed for this giveaway. It uses the Twitter Public API to download a list of all @dbrand followers, as well as a list of all @MKBHD followers.
Once the full lists have been loaded, the script generates a list of IDs which exist on both lists. This ensures that the potential winner is following both @dbrand and @MKBHD.
From this pool of unique account IDs, random entries are picked using a randomly generated seed based on the NumPy project. These random picks are the resulting winners.
For every subsequent winner selection, the script will run again. This triggers the Twitter Public API follower IDs fetch again. The script will download the newest followers and keep going until it reaches the followers which were downloaded during the previous run. What this does is save us from having to download a list of several million followers every time a winner is selected – while also ensuring that everyone is included and has an equal chance of winning for each random draw.
-
Do I get to choose which console I win?
No.
-
How will you announce winners?
Once we've established contact via Twitter DM with the winners and confirmed their shipping details, we'll post their Twitter handles on this page.
-
How will the prizes be shipped?
Every prize will be shipped via FedEx, with tracking.
-
If I win, will I need to pay anything to receive the prize (shipping costs, duties, taxes, etc.)?
Of course not. Everything is paid for by dbrand.
- If I win, do I need to do anything once I receive the console?
-
If I send you dozens of emails begging for a console, will it improve my odds of winning?
No. Please stop. We never acknowledge or reply to any emails asking to be picked as a winner. Selection is 100% random.
