Our list of affiliates here at KontrolFreek reads like a who's who of Youtube personalities.  With guys like Trumpf, Muzzafuzza and B3NDRO among the ranks, our affiliates consist of the best of the best, and that's why they're part of the family.

Since early December our affiliates have been participating in our "Ultimate Affiliate Contest."  We challenged our top affiliates to battle it out for thousands of dollars worth of cash and prizes (like a sweet 3D TV and gaming headsets!) by seeing who could generate the most sales for the month of December.  All of our affiliates did a great job and the competition was close up until the very end.

The winners for the Ultimate Affiliate Contest are:
1. Taylor Pierce - IAPP (3D TV valued at $1,000)
2. Robbie Kennison - Muzzafuzza ($250 bonus + gaming headset)
3. Ben Davis - B3NDRO ($200 bonus + gaming headset)
4. Jonathan Trumpfy - Trumpf ($100 bonus)
5. John Cummings - Boohoodman ($100 bonus)

Our winner, Taylor, built a pretty awesome Black Ops iPhone and Android App called Black Ops Virtual Coach Pro that everyone who plays CoD owes it to themselves to check out.

Thank you to all affiliates who participated!  We look forward to doing more stuff like this in the near future.  If anyone has any interest in becoming part of KontrolFreek's extended family of affiliates please complete and submit the form here: http://www.kontrolfreek.com/affiliates.asp

Just in case you haven't stopped by KontrolFreek.com lately, I wanted to tell you about four brand new bundles that we've created just for the holidays and supply you with a few tips for getting them to your house (or wherever you're planning on shipping them) before Christmas.

The first two bundles are the GamerPack TD and GamerPack Hoops.  These two are for people whose disk tray isn't taken up by Call of Duty: Black Ops 24/7, and instead craves more sports centered games, like Madden NFL or NBA 2K.  Each of the two bundles comes with either the Hoops or TD Freek correspondingly, and includes a pair of the critically praised Speed Freek.

The next two holiday bundles were designed for the serious first-person shooter fan.  The UltimatePack Prestige and UltimatePack Legendary are our most exciting bundles ever!  Each one features a GamerPack (FPS Freek and Speed Freek) and either the brand new FPS Freek Legendary--for all you Halo fans out there--or the even brand new-y-er FPS Freek Prestige--for fans of Black Ops.  Any gamer worth his or her weight in headshots should own one of these bundles.

If you are planning on ordering any of these new  holiday bundles or any other gear in our store and wish to have them by Christmas, you will need to have your order in by Friday, December 17th.  After that, your best option becomes placing your order through Amazon.com.  International orders or orders containing any FreekWear should be in by December 14th.

With the release date of Halo: Reach and the FPS Freek Legendary quickly closing in we are overflowing with excitement and have decided to spread the joy around a bit.  We’re always working hard to please our fans and this one is just for you.  We will be giving away six (6) copies of Halo: Reach to six of our biggest fans.  Who are these six biggest fans, you ask?  Well, that all depends on you:

Over the next six days (this weekend included) we will be setting out 1 question for each day on our Facebook fan page (so make sure you’re a fan!).  To win a copy of Halo: Reach, all you have to do is comment on our post with the correct answer to the day’s ‘Legendary Halo Trivia’ question within the first 2 hours of us asking.  We will then choose someone randomly from the comment list who has the correct answer.  Easy.

The only catch is that you MUST change your Facebook profile picture to our Facebook profile picture to be eligible to win one of the prizes (it's the one at the top of the page).  This way we know that you’re a Freek like us.

So keep a look out on Facebook for the questions and be sure to check your message inbox to see if you’ve won!

Confused?  Here are the rules again:

1. Change your Facebook profile picture to our Facebook profile picture (now you’re Freeky too!)
2. Check Facebook regularly for the day’s ‘Legendary Halo Trivia’ question (this will be at random times)
3. Post the correct answer within the first 2 hours of the question being posted (don’t procrastinate)
4. We will randomly select one of you from the comment list that has the correct answer and our profile picture as your profile picture (don’t forget this part!)
5. Look for a message from us announcing that you’ve won

Have fun and good luck!

And in case you missed any of our recent announcements, we are also giving away 2 Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Bundles and 4 more copies of Halo: Reach through a couple of our Youtube friends, Trumpf and WoodysGamertag.  Check out the links below for more chances to win more cool stuff:

Good morning, Freeks!  We hope that you have all checked your email by now and found our “Kicking off the summer” newsletter in your inbox.  If you are subscribed to our newsletter and still don’t have it, check your “spam” folder.  You’d be surprised how often we get mixed-in with pharmaceuticals from Canada promising a “more satisfying” love life—which we actually do too.

You see, we know that our customers want t-shirts and other garb.  But here at KontrolFreek, we’re way too busy planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse to think of good ideas for clothing (you may laugh now, but you’ll see!).  So, if you can come up with the best catchphrase or design for a KontrolFreek t-shirt, hat, hoodie or wristband, we will pay you $250 BIG ONES for it!  All you have to do is think of an idea that somehow incorporates our name, logo or products and tell us about it.  Send us your submissions in any format you like (text, JPG, scan), just make sure you send ‘em.  You can snatch graphics from our webpage or make your own—anything goes.  This is your chance to let your creativity shine and help your favorite thumb-stick accessory company help fellow gamers become better dressers.  Have fun and good luck!

Good morning, Freeks!  We’re guessing that by now you have checked your email to find our announcement of our sweet, new colors.  If you haven’t, go check it now.  We’ll wait.

Pretty cool, huh?  You totally want some of those Stealth FPS Freeks, don’t you?

At KontrolFreek we listen to our customers—if you say “jump,” we say “we’re too lazy for that; how about we make different colored FPS Freeks instead?”  And that’s exactly what we did!

Allow us to give you a rundown of what we’ve done.

First of all, the Classic White FPS Freeks and Speed Freeks are still available.  They’re the time-tested original.  They won’t be going away any time soon.  You’ll want these if the standard white Xbox 360 controller is your weapon of choice.

People who prefer PS3’s DualShock 3 or the black Xbox 360 controller will likely want to accessorize them with one of our new black combinations.

If faster lap times in racing games are what you’re after, you’ll need the Midnight Black Speek Freeks.

If shooters are more your thing, you can choose either Stealth (black) on Stealth or Gunmetal (gray) on Stealth for your FPS Freeks—your call—either way, you’ll be fragging in style!

In addition to these exciting new color options, we’ve also thrown together some money-saving Gamer’s Packs for you hardcore players.  You can now get your choice of three killer combinations.  You can order the Classic Speed Freeks and Classic FPS Freeks bundle, the Midnight Speed Freeks and Gunmetal on Stealth FPS Freeks bundle, or the Midnight Speed Freeks with Stealth on Stealth FPS Freeks bundle.  These Gamer’s Packs are for the gamer who needs precision no matter what they’re playing and want to look good doing it.

Oh yeah, and if you’re the kind of person who likes sweet deals, we’ve set-up a coupon code for you that will give you 10% off any purchase through the end of May.  So, don’t wait!  Go buy some already!  And stop by our forums to discuss our new colors and drop us some suggestions in our “New Product Ideas” forum.  We’re obviously listening.
