Famitsu's huge PC giveaway

Famitsu is running a large PC giveaway that includes a high‑end build roughly valued at $270,000 and featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, and the promotion has already drawn heavy engagement—about 13K likes and 32K reposts on the announcement post (x.com). The giveaway window runs through April 20, making it a time‑limited chance to score a rare flagship configuration (x.com).

Famitsu.com is giving away one desktop gaming personal computer with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, with entries open until April 20. (famitsu.com) The publisher posted the campaign on April 13 and lists the prize as a Frontier system worth about ¥400,000, or roughly $2,700 at recent exchange rates. The winner is scheduled to be notified around April 27 through a direct message from the official @famitsu account on X. (famitsu.com) Famitsu says entrants must follow @famitsu on X, review the campaign rules, and repost the designated post. The company says the deadline is 11:59 p.m. Japan time on Monday, April 20, 2026. (famitsu.com) The machine is a current high-end gaming build, not a bare-bones office tower. Famitsu lists 32 gigabytes of Double Data Rate 5 memory, a 1 terabyte Non-Volatile Memory Express solid-state drive, an MSI B650 motherboard with Wi‑Fi, and a 750-watt 80 Plus Platinum power supply. (famitsu.com) The processor in the giveaway is one of Advanced Micro Devices’ gaming-focused chips. AMD says the Ryzen 7 9800X3D uses eight cores, 16 threads, and second-generation 3D V-Cache, which stacks extra cache memory on the chip to cut latency in games. (amd.com) The graphics card is from NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 family, which the company says is based on its Blackwell architecture. NVIDIA says the RTX 5070 Ti supports Deep Learning Super Sampling 4.5 and creator features through NVIDIA Studio. (nvidia.com) Famitsu tied the promotion to its monthly “13th day” giveaway cycle, a recurring campaign built around the brand name’s number play. The April event is the second straight month in which the outlet has offered a desktop gaming personal computer. (famitsu.com) The fine print narrows who can actually claim the prize. Famitsu says shipping is limited to addresses in Japan, one entry is allowed per person, private accounts are excluded, and resale or auctioning of the prize can void the win. (famitsu.com) That makes the next six days the whole window: repost, keep the account public, and wait for April 27. After that, Famitsu says the system ships in late May to the single winner in Japan. (famitsu.com)
