Hey, would you like to get a chance to purchase some cool new PC games or maybe that new video card for your gaming rig? If so then you had better head over to our official contest page where we are giving away three $200 gift cards for Best Buy to three of our loyal Big Download readers.

We started the contest on Thursday and the response has been huge so far. However, the deadline to enter the contest, sponsored by Intel and the Star Trek Online Architect web site, is tonight at 11:59 pm Eastern time. So if you want in on this cool giveaway, and if you are eligible to enter, you have just a few hours to make your entry official. Good luck.

While folks can purchase Fallout: New Vegas as a boxed retail version, the PC port of the upcoming post-apocalypse RPG will also be available via download. If you swing that way publisher Bethesda Softworks has teamed up with several retailers to offer special pre-order offers if you buy the game via download.

GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart will all have their own unique pre-orders specials for the PC download version (Steam's pre-order offer will be the same as Walmart). Each consist of exclusive in-game items (armor, weapons, etc) that will become available when the game is released this fall. Check out the specifics of each pre-order offer after the jump:
