    "Quisieras ganar un Playstation 3 o Wii? Pregúntenos cómo!“

    "Would you like to win a Playstation 3 or Wii? Ask us how!"

    Formal:

    "Quisiera usted ganar el Playstation 3 o el Nintendo Wii? Preguntale a nosotros!"

    Informal:

    "Quisiera ganar el Playstation 3 o el Nintendo Wii? Pregunte a nosotros!"

    "Quieres ganar una Playstation III o una Nintendo Wii?"
    To prove this is right so far:
    ¿Quieres ganar una Nintendo Wii? - Videojuegos GameOver.es

    I'm not sure how I'd phrase "Ask us!" since all the Spanish advertisements I've ever seen say "Llamanos para participar!" (Call us to participate!) or "Vete a www.insertgenericwebsite.com para participar/ganar/inscribirte!" (Go go www.insertgenericwebsite.com to participate/win/sign up!).

    Depends on how technical you want to be with the translation. Personally, "Quieres ganar un Playstation 3 o un Wii? Preguntenos!" Sounds the most correct in my head -- although the tense of the verb "Querer" is technically in the wrong tense in a direct translation; however, I don't think it matters in this case.

    Note: My accents on "Preguntenos" aren't there (always forget how to type them on keyboards), make sure you double check them.

    é = alt 130
    á, í, ó, ú, ñ = alt 160 - alt 164

    This one seems like the best one, minus the missing question and exclamation symbols.

    "Te gustaria ganar un Playstation 3 o un Wii? Preguntanos como/aqui!"

    Spelling may be a little off but thats it. Last part is "ask us how/here"

    Use mine lol, well can say 'Pregúntenos cómo! instead Pregúntanos, although i like more how pregúntanos sound, also everyone is forgetting in spanish we use ¿? ¡! to open and close questions/exclamations, and that we use "´".

    And it would also depend on which is the intended target. The formal form which most people are suggesting here is appropiate for a latino american, but in many contexts it will sound funny to people from Spain.

    I am latin american so that's true too, if it was for Spain, probably question would be:

    ¿Os gustaría ganar.......?

    Yes, but Spaniards aren't really people so that's out of the question.

    Then go with: ¿Quisiera usted ganar un Playstation 3 o un Wii? ¡Pregúntenos cómo ahora!

    edit: usted conveys the formalism you're looking for, and the second question is practically a literal translation. Ahora means now, you don't need it since it wasn't in your original statement, but pregúntenos cómo seems incomplete to me.
