User blog:Heatedpete/Battlefield 3 sweepstakes, and a chance to humiliate DICE employees...

I think people heard right. DICE are holding an open sweepstake, with the top prize of a full expenses paid trip to Stockholm and a visit to the DICE studio there. (Hell fucking yes! - Sweetwater) As well as that, DICE devs are going to be online over the weekend on the PS3 and Xbox 360, complete with special dog tags as well. Knifes at the ready gentlemen...

Sweepstake
The DICE sweepstake will be held over the weekend of the 11th to 13th November (i.e. tomorrow), and will run from 00:00:01 GMT on Friday to 23:59:59 GMT on Sunday. Players are automatically entered once per day for simply playing the game, and EA are also running strict security on this one, to stop hacks and other cheats being run to, well, cheat. Entry is automatic, but limited to those with EA accounts whose age is 18... The sweeepstake is open to players from the UK, US, Canada, France and Germany, so sorry DEath, no winnings for yous...

The top prize is an all-expenses paid trip for the winner and three guests to Stockholm, Sweeden, and a trip to the DICE studio, for four days, with airtravel, accomodation and US$1000 spending money per person. The second prize is a cheque for US$5000 or the local equivalent. Me want for moar warhamma

The third prize is a brand new gaming rig for the recipeint's chosen system. A 250Gb Xbox, 320Gb PS3 or an Alienware Aurora gaming computer. I'd like that as well thank you very much. Goodbye dodgy laptop for Minecraft...

DICE deaths
From 14:00 to 18:00 CET (Central European Time) on both saturday and Sunday for the Xbox and PS3 respectively, DICE developers are going to be donning their headsets and stepping forth into the world of Battlefield 3 multiplayer. The series' Twitter account, @Battlefield, will be giving updates on the locations of DICE employees, so make sure to check out the feed for more information. DICE devs will be sporting an exclusive dogtag, and competition to claim the tags will be fierce. Frankly, I just hope that the DICE guys actually bother with objectives. But that's a subject for another time...

So, be sure to check out the sweepstake details here, and, if you can, enter in and hope to win. Anyone who yanks a DICE dogtag will get considerable(well, none) kudos from me, but remember, no bragging rights without evidence. HP out... until I start bragging about a dev knife kill that is...
