For a special contest we have teamed up with the fine folks over at Ubisoft to celebrate tonight's premiere of Splinter Cell: Conviction, giving away three retail copies of the highly-anticipated Xbox 360 game to the biggest Clancy fans out there. To enter all you have to do is Tweet us a picture of you at one of the premiere events taking place tonight all over the country (full details and locations are below). Our Twitter account can be found at
www.twitter.com/planetxbox360 and just snap a quick pic of you at any one of the Splinter Cell: Conviction premiere events hosted by GameStop (ten cities total) and send us an @replay with a link to the pic; three winners will be chosen from the correct entries. Make sure to pose or do something original at the event as the ones that catch our eye may have a better chance of winning (keep it legal), copies will be shipped to the winners around the retail release of April 13, 2010. Good luck everyone and have fun, we'll be at the Los Angeles, CA event tonight covering it for PlanetXbox360.com so if you're in the neighborhood stop by and find me (Eric Bush) and the first person to do so automatically wins one of the three games. We have put a good number of hours into the review build of Conviction and we can honestly say that this is one of those few Xbox 360 games releasing in 2010 that you don't want to miss, why not get it for free?
Event Details: Splinter Cell fans in the Los Angeles area are invited to participate in first-to-play sessions from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. PST prior to the celebrity red carpet Premiere event beginning at 8 p.m PST. The Premiere will feature the “Search for Sam Fisher,” a live interactive game pitting attendees against each other in the search for Sam himself. Fifteen attendees (21+) at the L.A. co-op gaming event will be chosen to participate in the search and one lucky grand prize winner will win the ultimate gaming grand prize featuring the Xbox 360 Splinter Cell Conviction Special Edition Bundle and a library of Ubisoft Xbox 360 games.
Concurrent with the Premiere, GameStop is hosting first-to-play co-op demo events at 10 store locations nationwide from 9:00 p.m. to midnight on April 1, 2010, in Boston, Orlando, New York City (two locations), Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, San Jose, Dallas and New Jersey. Attendees will be the first-to-play with the GameStop exclusive in-game SPAS-12 suppressor shotgun and have the opportunity to win Xbox and Ubisoft prizes, including Xbox Live Gold memberships and copies of Splinter Cell Conviction. The first 100 attendees at each location will also receive a free Splinter Cell Conviction beanie.
Participants must be 17 years old to attend any debut event. For more information on the GameStop event nearest you please visit www.gamestop.com or www.splintercell.com.
Editor's Note: We will also be giving away a copy on launch night for whoever tweets me a pic of them in a GameStop (anyone in the US) right before midnight, one of those people will win; stay tuned for that if you can't be at one of the events tonight.
