• Tiger: The Authorized DVD Collection, courtesy Buena Vista
For the first time ever, Tiger Woods opens the door to his astonishing life in golf -- from the promise of a child prodigy to the most dominant force in the history of sport. This spectacular 3-disc set, narrated by Laurence Fishburne, chronicles a story of unparalleled ambition, dedication, and success woven with personal interviews and previously unseen photographs, film and video archives, offering viewers a first-hand look at what it takes to be the very best. Twenty, that's right, I said twenty lucky winners will each receive a copy of Tiger: The Authorized DVD Collection, courtesy of the green jackets at Buena Vista.

• Profiler: Season 4, courtesy A&E
Agent Rachel Burke is the newest Profiler to join the elite Violent Crimes Task Force. Their mission is simple but dangerous -- investigate high-profile crimes throughout the country. Serial killers, arsonists, assassins, bombers, and perpetrators of hate crimes are just some of the foes theyÕre up against. But with Rachel's uncanny ability to visualize a crime through the eyes of the victim as well as the killer, justice will ultimately prevail. Three lucky winners will each take home a copy of Profiler: Season 4, courtesy of the investigators at A&E Home Video.

• New Fist Of The North Star Vol. 1, courtesy Adv Films
In the aftermath of the great apocalypse, across a scarred and barren land littered with corpses, a new order rises. This land no longer resembles the one we live in now; it is a new land, with new rules. The strongest survive, the weak fall. Water is gold. Who holds the water holds the land and its people. Kenshiro, a lone warrior, rises from the ashes to cut a swath of justice across the Earth's ruined landscape with his unconquerable martial art. Five lucky winners will each take home a copy of the New Fist of the North Star, Volume One, courtesy of the world defenders at ADV Films.

• Sleepover, courtesy MGM
Party rules will be broken during a slumber party when four best friends are pushed to outrageous extremes to salvage their less-than-cool reputations before they enter high school. Together, they rise to a challenge from the popular girls to participate in an intense all-night scavenger hunt. Five lucky winners will each take home a copy of Sleepover, courtesy of the yearbook staff at MGM.

• The Ranch, courtesy MGM
Step inside and take a look at the steamy and gritty lives of women in a working brothel. The film goes behind the doors of the "Diamond Ranch," a private club based on a real-life bordello, where young and beautiful women let go of their inhibitions and release their unbridled passions. Five lucky winners will each take home a copy of The Ranch, courtesy of the madams at MGM.

• Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, courtesy Warner Bros.
In June 2004, some of the greatest living guitar players and their bands gathered at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas for a three-day festival to benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua. This two-DVD set features performances by Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, Robert Cray, Santana, ZZ Top, and many others. Bonus features include interviews, alternate angles, and a photo gallery. Royalties from the sale of the DVD will benefit the Crossroads Centre (http://www.crossroadsantigua.org). Three lucky winners will each receive a copy of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, courtesy of the socially conscious music lovers at Warner Bros.

• Poirot: Death On The Nile, courtesy A&E
When Linnet Doyle, the richest woman in London, steals and marries her best friend's fiance, the best friend gets her revenge by hounding the newlyweds throughout their honeymoon. A subsequent pleasure cruise down the River Nile turns deadly when the widely despised Mrs. Doyle is found murdered in bed. Thank goodness the famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is along for the ride. Three lucky winners will each receive a copy of Hercule Poirot: Death on the Nile, courtesy of the cruise directors at A&E Home Video.

• Rambo: The Ultimate Collection, courtesy Lions Gate
Sylvester Stallone stars as war hero and former Green Beret John Rambo in this powerful collection of all three Rambo films -- First Blood, Rambo: First Blood 2, and First Blood 3. Each comes fully loaded with bonus materials, including the never before seen alternate ending to First Blood. One lucky winner will take home a copy of Rambo: The Ultimate Collection, courtesy of the militant militia at Lions Gate.

• O-Genio: Ray Charles Live in Brazil, 1963, courtesy Rhino Records
Recorded one day before his 33rd birthday, the concert and studio material showcased on this disc is a remarkable find. Two extremely rare Ray Charles' performances from September 22, 1963 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the DVD features classic hits such as "What I Say," "Carry Me Back To Old Virginny," "Hit the Road Jack," and "You Are My Sunshine." Beyond its historical significance, this provides fans with an exceptional chance to experience the genius of Charles (O-GENIO means "The Genius" in Portuguese) both in concert and behind-the-scenes.

• Yellowcard: Beyond Ocean Avenue, courtesy Bmi
Formed as high school kids in Jacksonville, Florida and named after their favorite drinking game, Yellowcard's first-ever DVD features over an hour of concert footage from the sold-out May 2004 performance at Philadelphia's Electric Factory. Also included is the "Beyond Ocean Avenue" documentary, which chronicles the band's rise from indie-label to the Main Stage at the Warped Tour. It's a behind-the-scenes look at life on the road with YC -- everything from surprising unsuspecting fans to spur-of-the-moment tattoos!
