So Who Won Our Sony Xperia XZ Competition?

For the last week, we’ve given you the chance to win one of three Sony Xperia XZ smartphones worth $999.

We had over 500 great entries. So, who won?

We had over 500 entries in our competition, but from all the entries we’ve picked out three very deserving winners. Without further ado, here they are:

Here Are The Winners

kager and their construction machinery incident:

The moment my mate ran through our fence in a bulldozer we hired, we thought how hard can it be to drive? Apparently very hard…

kodz and their expensive virtual reality incident:

When a colleague threw a HTC Vive controller across the room, thinking it was a stick for the virtual dog in The Lab.

DeadlyClown and their it’s-not-a-game-mum-it’s-a-social-activity geocaching adventure:

Me falling 3.5m+ out of a tree, while geocaching, breaking my right arm, bleeding from the face and nurses putting ‘Pokémon’ injury on hospital file.

A special runners-up mention goes to Brendan Smith, who went way over the 25 word limit but had a story too good not to share with you all again:
