Contest offers advance copies of Halo 2 as prizes

Mountain Dew, 7-Eleven, and Xbox will award winners with advance copies of the limited edition of the Xbox shooter.

Xbox has teamed up with Mountain Dew and 7-Eleven to offer contestants a chance to win copies of Halo 2 more than a week before it hits stores on November 9. Hopefuls can enter the contest via a mailed entry form or an online entry form at 7-Eleven’s Web site. Winners will be declared on or around October 28.

One grand prize winner will receive a five-day trip to the 2004 Spike TV Video Game Awards, an advance copy of the limited edition Halo 2, an Xbox, an Xbox Live Starter Kit, and a one-year subscription to Xbox Magazine. In addition to the grand prize, hundreds of copies of Halo 2 and Xbox Live Starter Kits will be awarded to first-, second-, and third-place winners.

A second drawing will feature the same grand prize package, but it will also include a trip to Halo 2 developer Bungie Studios in Redmond, Washington. That drawing will occur on or around November 30.

Damn US only competitions. Not that there' d be much chance of me winning anyway. lol. You entered it DaRoosh?

Yes I did, whatabout_paul ...and I also gave the email addresses of 5 friends, so I could get 5 additional entries.

All I have to do is place my daily entry until late October, and I could walk away with my copy of Halo 2 about a week earlier than the rest of the world (or at least America).

I' ll let ya' know if I win...(or not)
