So, because clueless human is clueless, how are these not getting damaged by the high altitude or landing?


Assuming the games are actually on board (and I'm not sure that's a safe assumption..could just be a game case, or token) altitude wouldn't damage the disks.

They come down via controlled decent (parachute, usually)...but the impact is still pretty rough.  I suppose if you pack the game in secure packing material...nothings going to get too jostled.  But I would also assume that EA's folks have 'replacements" on hand...just in case something untoward does happen.

So they're prepared. That's no fun, would've been great to see some EA reps reaction.

Just for funzies thoug, one HAS to land in some form of water though.

Should land "sooner" (less total distance) than NRMNDY did. Lower alt, "sooner", already.

SHEPRD peaked higher (83k), but looks like it will fall in the same general area

Running about 10k feet lower at the same geographic area as NRMNDY (generally).

It's kinda like a love story... Released it two separate areas but still followed the same path anyway. :wub:

Actually, the were both released from the same parking lot, and generally followed the exact same path, its just SHEPRD climbed MUCH higher

It would be funny is a group set out to find NRMNDY but got SHEPRD instead and boasted "got NRMNDY" but really only had SHEPRD

can someone explain to me the "create a password" aspect to this competition? Where do you login to make one? I assume You need it to prove you entered right? Just trying to get the rules.



huh!? go to the website it should be you enail addy to enter the contents but  its only if you are in those cities..


So you just need to say what your email address you entered with was? Ok , I was just asking because the terms and conditions wording was odd "Login into "the site" and create a contest specific password" I think it said
