Win a Home Theater Makeover for Dad[teaser]Stuck for a Father’s Day gift? Throw in with Fox and MGM for a chance to win a new home theater. [/teaser] Alright, sure, there are problems with the “Upgrade Your Dad” promotion. For starters, a 55 inch Philips TV, home theater system and Blu-ray player may not actually be an upgrade. But that depends on your dad. More importantly, the drawing isn’t until July 7th. Still, Fox is giving you the chance to win some cool gear in order to help promote their Blu-rays, both new and old. They’re pushing titles like ‘Hang ‘em High,’ and ‘The Man in the Iron Mask,' which are out today. If your dad is into westerns, you can pick him up the 'Magnificent Seven Collection' which includes all four movies. More of a Clint fan? 'The Man with No Name Trilogy' is hitting shelves one June 1st, and includes three movies on three discs. And of course, Fox would like to remind you that the James Bond movies do exist on Blu-ray. Be careful when buying the collections though. No matter how badly you want to own 'Dr. No,' it might not be worth it if you have to have 'Die Another Day' sitting next to it.
