Judging by the tweets I take it the devs track the thing and turn up with a copy of the game and give it to the first person to find them? am i right?

You're right except for one thing: you actually get the copies tied to the balloon. I'm sure the devs show up for legal handoff purposes and such.

Hmmm, can you explain how that competition on the ME3 website works too please?

You have to sign up on the website to be eligible to win one of the Space Editions.

I'm completely confused, you have to sign up in order to obtain a copy of a game in which  your locating in possibly the middle of knowhere, how do you police that? don't people just take the copy if they find a balloon? or is it in a secure case?

Am I the only one who's laughing at the sheer out-landishness and obvious consequences coming with what has got to be one of THE MOST insane marketing schemes ever?

Insanely freaking awesome.

The EA guys probably get there first, recover the case, then distribute the goods.
I think.

and i guess, they must agree to not publish spoilers/videos in the internet and other things


because would suck, to see a youtube walkthrough video of mass effect 3, two weeks before the launch date
or a smartass decides to make torrents before the launch etc...

If you sign up, you obtain access to a password you have to give to the devs upon retrieval. This password hasn't been set up yet, because of the crazyness, but they'll be working on it tonight.

This is probably just some extra security thing. It is an official contest, after all.

Edit: I'm also under the impression they're locked up until someone can open it up for you upon legal transfer of the prize.

So has ANYONE claimed NRMNDY and SHEPRD? ._.

Or did the rabbit sell it on eBay?

SHEPRD is apparently on private property and has been found, but I don't know what they're doing with it yet.

NRMNDY is stuck almost 300 feet up in a redwood tree.

[LilyasAvalon]

If SHEPRD is on private property, are they even allowed to go retrieve it?

I wonder if anyone is going to bother with NRMNDY though.

I signed up & it said "You have successfully entered the Space Edition contest."

I didn't get any code..  Nothing in my Email either..

Actually, one is hanging from a cliff.

I've heard that SHEPRD is both hanging off a cliff and on private property...I think it might be the former, though, given it's last known altitude.

I think they're debating on what to do with NRMNDY...because they still have to award the prize, but they can't cut the tree down and can't safely climb it.

yes and no
they will have to have the cops come out and get it for them if the property owner wont let them
the property owner can not keep it
i fly RC aircarft this is what we have to do if you have plane crash on some ones property and they wont let you on to get it
they must return it ether they go get it or an officer goes and gets it for you

No, no. SHEPRD is in th tree, NRMNDY is on the mountain.

...Can't they just wack it out with a giant stick or something? SHEPRD I mean.

[felipejiraya]

Well, those two copies are MIA.

Better luck with the Vegas guys tomorrow.

Source? As far as I know.. Balloon 1 is stuck 300ft in a redwood tree and Balloon 2 is something-hundred feet on a hanging on a cliff and as far as I know, none have been found/claimed.

Oh, lysdexia strikes again. XD

Uh...the tree is 300 feet high, and it's stuck some 250 feet up. That'd have to be a really big stick.

Just things I've been reading from the dev's on Twitter. They haven't been terribly specific as to which is stuck where and where exactly they're stuck, so...

It's all mostly hearsay at this point.

... So we need a hammerhead to reach SHEPRD and a mako to reach NRMNDY. ._.

IGN hasn't done an update in a while either... Don't know what's going on... maybe they lost service.
