Is this the droid you're looking for?
You might have noticed that a new Star Wars movie was released in theaters this past weekend, complete with a new droid called BB-8. I'm a sucker for cute droids, and decided we should definitely give away the super awesome little BB-8 droid from Sphero to one of our readers! If you haven't already read Serenity's review of the droid, you'll definitely want to check it out, right after you enter to win one for yourself!
And if you're a Star Wars fan jump over to the forums and join in the conversation in our dedicated Star Wars forums!
The contest
One lucky winner will receive a BB-8 droid by Sphero. We have two ways to enter! Just log in and leave a comment below, then head over to the forums and leave a comment on this thread in our Sphero BB-8 forum and you'll have earned two entries into the contest. No spoilers please, if you've seen the movie!
The rules
The contest is open worldwide so anyone can enter. Please remember that the prize will ship from the US and any charges incurred at customs are the responsibility of the winner. One entry per person please. If we catch you spamming you will be eliminated from the competition. We'll keep this open until the end of the month and announce the winner the first week of January. May the force be with you.

this is great!
I fell in love with this little guy! whats not to love about it, hopefully soon enough we will see more of droids in our life. Wish they can make a Bender thats be awesome XD
I really want that.
Too bad I can't afford the droid that I have to comment on pages with the slimmest hope of actually getting lucky for once in my life and winning this. All the best to me I guess..
Human + dog = great stories.
In this movie, I feel BB8 plays that dog role. Loyal, comic and helps something get done.
(That's why I really want my own BB8.)
I want a BB-8 so bad!
This IS the droid I have been looking for.
This would be a great office toy.
.
Really wanted one for Christmas
the force is strong in BB8!
I'd like to win because BB-8 looks adorable.
One of the coolest thing that I can imagine. Thinking that we also have the opportunity to play with BB-8 Droid. This would be a perfect gift for me, wherever if I have problems, I can easily play with it to be able to cheer up myself and the droid can be my solution to make my problems set aside or fade away if so, so my wish is I want to win this. I hope and pray that this will be a dream come true. Absolutely cool and adorable.
Really want one!
Cool !

I refused to buy one before the movie came out. I feared TFA would be another Phantom Menace and so refused to buy any merchandise before I know how totally awesome it would be! Now I know it is making things right again.

I would love to win a BB 8. Thanks for choosing me!
I want one for the kids... Yeah, that's it. The kids.
WANT. Also, this thing is such a good marketing idea for Sphero. So glad to see devs from the iOS community joining the mainstream like they've managed to.
Yeeeiiiii my own BB-8!!!
The force is with me. So is BB-8
The only reason why I started liking Star Wars was because of the BB 8. I mean, it's badass and cute.
MEMEMEMEMEME!
Cool. I enjoyed the movie.

I thought R2-D2 was the best robot in the world of Star Wars, but BB-8 is so cute!
Nice prize!

Yes!!!!!
BB8. Dare I say it? Perhaps cuter than R2. I would love to have one
I hope I win!
Would love to have BB-8 follow me around! That would look so cool to see him trying to catch up as he spins the corners. Hang in there BB-8, we can make it happen ;)
Winning a BB-8 would be be fantastic!

A very creative bunch, to come up with a droid that will become as likable as R2D2.
My son would absolutely love this, we'll then again I think I would enjoy BB-8 very much myself. I am currently a blackberry Passport user but it looks as if I would need to switch ecosystems in order to do that. I was looking forward to jumping onto team iphone
R2D2 was one of my favourite character of the franchise. But the BB8 has the force with him. Would love to win one for myself. Happy holidays everyone.
