Kingston seeks game designers between now and August 31, 2011 to weave in elements of Wi-Drive's features and functionality. Contestants are asked to develop a game idea and use any tools necessary such as software or online game-creation services. To enter, contestants need to have the game hosted on a Web site of their choice and then follow the steps outlined on Kingston's Facebook page.

Wi-Drive allows users to stream videos, access music or share files with other Apple device owners. The distinctively designed, pocket-sized Wi-Drive utilizes Flash-based technology to store data from USB-compatible PCs. Files on Apple devices are easily retrieved via Wi-Drive's built-in wireless transmitter, eliminating the need for cables or an Internet connection. Three users can simultaneously use different file types from a single Wi-Drive without any performance disruption.

A total of 18 prizes will be given out. The grand prize is $1,500 (USD), and the second-prize winner receives $500. Other prizes include Wi-Drive devices, Kingston SSDNow solid-state drives, DataTraveler USB Flash drives, SDHC cards, HyperX memory and gift cards.

For more information and complete rules and regulations, visit www.kingston.com/widrivecontest. The contest is open to residents of the United States (void in Hawaii and Puerto Rico).
