Xbox 360: Zero Hour Event

Microsoft has just opened up the Zero Hour contest, where you and a friend go to some place in the Mojave Desert and play Xbox 360 games a few days before the system is officially released. Do you win the system? No, but you do have the awesome chance to buy the system right there and then. No worries about shortages! (LOL)

Anyway, sign-up is on this page

but you have until the end of the day to do so. And Microsoft will only supply you the tickets if you win; you're on your own in terms of getting there and lodging.

Ridiculous. Did they get Acclaim's PR team to plan this contest?

This is retardo shit.

Also, you forgot to mention

- how you'll be buying dinner for the Microsoft representatives who are there.
- that you have to pay for wear and tear on the X360 due to desert heat and sand.
- to enter to win an actual console, you have to shine 'J' Allard's head to a perfect shine.

It's all a ploy to lure people to an alien abduction.

This is even better than the time I won free candy from that guy in a van with no pants on!

:lol: :lol:

Is this really the same company that "listened to its fans" last gen? What the hell happened here?

I spent 2 1/2 years riding around in tanks and Hummers in the fucking Mojave fixing military radios and computers. That was probably infinitely more fun, and I got paid to do it. One thing I can say about that desert is that it completely sucks the life out of you. How fitting for Microsoft to hold this stupid event there.

That's about the shittiest, most low-rent promotion I've ever heard of.
We can already play xbox360 at demo kiosks at local stores, so why the fuck would anyone want to bother with this horseshit?
