We just got word of something pretty fantastic. Xbox SA has teamed up with BT Games for a pretty incredible competition. You could win a trip to this year’s Gamescom in Cologne, Germany – Europe’s largest video game event – just by pre-ordering Gears of War: Judgment.
All you have to do is pre-order the latest game in the ground-breaking game series from your nearest BT Games (or online!) before 21 March (remember to keep your receipt!) and you’ll be entered in to the draw to win a full expenses paid trip to Cologne – including flights, accommodation and spending money. There, you’ll get to see and play a ton of as-yet-unreleased games – and probably get a peek at the next-gen consoles before their release.
Oh, the prize includes $5000 spending money too. Yes, that’s 5000 US Dollars – so you could be up to your eyeballs in games, sausages and Kolsch; Cologne’s regional beer, which I can tell you from personal experience is sweet, sweet Ambrosia; the nectar of the gods.
If ever there was incentive to pre-order Gears of War: Judgement (beyond, you know, it being a pretty rad game), then this is it.
Here are the boring, but necessary terms and conditions.
CONTEST SPONSOR: This Contest is sponsored by Microsoft (UAE) (Proprietary) Limited, Building No.8, Dubai Internet City, Dubai, UAE (“Microsoft”).
ELIGIBILITY: This Contest is open to any resident within South Africa who is 18 years of age or older, excluding Microsoft employees, their agents and their families, and anyone else professionally connected with this Contest.
The Prizes are not transferable. No cash alternatives are available. Microsoft reserves the right to substitute the Prizes for other prizes of equal or greater value. All Prizes will be sent to the winners within 30 (thirty) days of notification.
