Free is good. I’m a big fan of free stuff. Especially free food. Heck, it’s one of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to the whole “eating right” thing.

EA Sports ActiveActive_Girl just announced over on Twitter that EA SPORTS is giving away a copies of EA SPORTS Active in honor of Father’s Day. She did not provide any links to a rules page so I cannot offer specifics in that regard, but the description of the contest she gave on her Tweet about it was “Father’s day giveaway – kids – why should your dad win a copy. Dad’s – why should you win a copy? email active@ea.com.”

Father’s Day is next Sunday, so hopefully Active_Girl will pick the winners soon and get them shipped out in time for those of us who have waited until the last minute to grab something for Dad.

Update! According to the notice on the EA SPORTS Active Facebook fan page they are giving away five copies.
