I don't really buy into this stuff with contests and shit. If someone has to get recognized that much then they must not be worth promoting.
Well I suppose thats not always the case. But look at some of the big sponsors. They don't chuck Xboxes at people and money unless they make the sales!
If I want something I'll just buy it... the only thing that determines where I send my traffic is who sends me the most money. I would MUCH rather just have more money than any prizes/ rewards points etc.
I don't usually like contests because they usually give the prizes to top affiliates or to the ones that send the most traffic. Those people can buy their own X-Box or trip to Maui or whatever.
I would take a modded XBOX and 100 games (cracked is okay)

I would want the prize, because if I got the cash, I wouldnt buy something fun...I'd waste it on bills

Yup. There's no real logic in getting new webmasters to promote a program if that's the case.
Yes, but a contest might give you a chance to see/trial a program that under other circumstances you wouldn't try. This can benefit both the program owner and the affiliate if it converts well with their traffic.
Thanks for the feedback so far guys. I'm sure this thread has been instructive not just for myself but for others as well. Please keep the feedback coming.
