Just getting a taste for HBO's hit vampire drama "True Blood"? You can get caught up by sinking your teeth into our latest giveaway: We're handing out five copies of the "True Blood" Season 4 Blu-ray and DVD combo pack to our Twitter followers this week.
Season 4 of "True Blood" saw Sookie return to Bon Temps after a trip to the fairy world. Plus, Jesus and Lafayette got mixed up with some powerful local witches, and Eric had his memory erased -- which led to a steamy outdoor encounter with Sookie. ("True Blood" fans know exactly what we're talking about.) This Blu-ray/DVD combo pack serves up all 12 Season 4 episodes, plus a bunch of extras, including cast and crew commentaries, an inside look at the show's post-production process, an interactive guide to help you keep the residents of Bon Temps straight, and special featurettes with the cast in character. Here's one with Hoyt's mom Maxine:

entity involved in the development, production, implementation,
administration or fulfillment of the Promotion (all of the foregoing,
together with Yahoo!, collectively referred to as "Promotion Entities"),
and the immediate family members and persons living in the same
household as such individuals, whether related or not, are not eligible
to participate or win. Twitter is not a sponsor of, or is in any way
affiliated with, this Promotion.
2. How To Enter:
Entry: Complete your entry in the Promotion by either:
a. Mail Entry: Send a printed copy of this web page along with your name
and contact information to: Yahoo! TV Promotion Entry, Yahoo! Inc.,
Attn: Chrissy Le Nguyen, 2400 Broadway, First Floor, Santa Monica, CA
90404. Include the name of the Promotion you are entering with your
entry. Entries postmarked after the close of the Promotion Period will
not be honored.
b. Twitter Entry:
1. The "Promotion Period" is defined as the period specified in the
Yahoo! TV blog for each promotion. If you are not an existing Twitter
account holder, visit twitter.com and follow the instructions to
register for a free Twitter account. Once logged into Twitter, set your
Twitter account to "follow" the Twitter handle associated with the
Promotion, @yahootv (the "Promotion Twitter Address"). You MUST "follow"
the Promotion Twitter Address during the entire Promotion Period to be
eligible to win.
2. Send a Twitter update (a "Tweet"), using the Twitter
account you set up in Rule 2a above, to @yahootv with the words "I want to win Season 4 of @TrueBloodHBO on Blu-ray/DVD from @YahooTV. http://yhoo.it/LMl2KB" You will receive ONE entry in the
Promotion (an "Entry"), when you submit a Tweet to @YahooTV during the
Promotion Period, in accordance with the method described above.
For purposes of these Official Rules, "receipt" of an Entry occurs when
Yahoo! receives your registration and entry information as properly
submitted by you in accordance with the instructions above. In the event
of a dispute regarding the identity of the holder of a Twitter account
or handle, the dispute will be resolved in favor of the individual who
is the "authorized email account holder" of the "alternate email
address" provided when the Twitter account was created. "Authorized
email account holder" is defined as the natural person assigned an email
address by an internet access provider, online service provider, or
other organization (i.e., business, educational institution) responsible
for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the
submitted email address. If Yahoo! is unable to verify the authorized
account holder of a potentially winning Twitter account, that account
will be disqualified and an alternate winner selected. A potential prize
winner may be required to provide Promotion Entities with proof that
he/she is the authorized account holder as described above.
LIMIT ONE ENTRY PER PERSON, PER EMAIL ADDRESS AND/OR PER TWITTER ID.
Although subsequent attempts to enter may be received, only the first
entry received from a particular individual will count; subsequent
attempts to enter will be disqualified. The submission of an entry is
solely the responsibility of the entrant. Entries may only be made
according to the method described above. Proof of sending (such as an
automated computer receipt, "thanks for entering" message, or post
office receipt) does not constitute proof of actual receipt by Yahoo! of
an entry for purposes of these Official Rules. Automated entries
(including but not limited to entries submitted using any bot, script,
macro, or sweepstakes service), copies, third party entries, facsimiles
and/or mechanical reproductions are not permitted and will be
disqualified. Only eligible entries actually received by Yahoo! before
the end of the specified entry period will be included in the prize
drawing. Unintelligible, incomplete, or garbled entries will be
disqualified. All entries become the property of Yahoo!, and none will
be acknowledged or returned.
3. Conduct: By entering the Promotion, entrants agree to comply with and
be bound by these Official Rules. The Official Rules will be posted at
http://tv.yahoo.com/ throughout the Promotion. Failure to comply with
these Official Rules may result in disqualification from the Promotion.

or guidelines of any Yahoo! or Promotion related property or service; or

ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY

VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE,
YAHOO! RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
