Entered that one today, when was the closing date or are they drawing a winner a day up to the launch?

I've been to a few launches with my old work where all you got was some free finger food and maybe a drink if your lucky and a handful that have actually sent you away with something of value. Hope you get a free copy!

Nice prize would be a bit of craic freebies or not.

The last time Edleman did this was for Halo: Reach and there was a free bar for most of the night (which is why the place was full of hipster tossers laughing with one another about how they're all too cool to own an XBox). Made me cross, had they given us 30 or 40 tickets for Boardsies, we could've had actual potential customers in at the event...

But I got to spend time with DeVore talking to Steven Cooper who was hosting the event and Jamie Heaslip (who was on the celebrity team) for 10 or 15 mins about games and rugby and life in general and I met Idris Elba Most importantly, I got to watch a Boards.ie Halo team who'd never played together put up a good challenge to a long established Halo team who've won the Irish WCG on several occasions That was pretty cool.

But this will possibly be more of the same, no idea about the free bar, certainly none of the tickets we got for Boards are coming with a free copy of the game.

Classy prize Omega! I've entered it too today, hoping that its not too late to enter/win!

I've entered 4 competitions to try and win tickets for myself and a mate to go, if I fail to get a pair I better win the lotto to make up for it!

Same here. Literally only just saw the competition about an hour a go.
Would do almost anything to go. Free game or not.

You have absolutely have I idea how jealous I am of you right now, omega.

Will ya be able to even buy a copy at it? Or will ya have to pop out to one of the stores open to get it?

Went along tonight... Hung around for an hour mainly cause I was getting free coors light. There was 8 large screens for multiplayer and around 4 small pods for 2 player co op. I left before 8 and it was fairly busy, you'd have been waiting a good while to get a game, I didn't get a chance myself, just checked out the new maps, game modes etc...

No freebies at all from what I could see...

omega42

just home, no freebies, apart from coors light, managed to get a game but xbox kept restarting, looks a brill game but not a great event

unklerosco

Yep, didn't think it was good myself.. Hung around for an hour and din't get a chance to play. Just stood there drinking free beer and watching people pay.. Decided to go home where I can drink beer the missus got me and play the game!

James Howlett

I was there. Q'ed for a while to play on the 60" tellys, finally got a game, was doing really well, chainsawed three opponents in a row, then got kicked off so the celebrity team could play.

Them's the breaks I guess.

It was ok, got a good feel of the game and definitely gonna buy it.
