I believe they'd have to report to the Bioware Team on site for actual registration keys. I don't know, however. I'd imagine they didn't send up an actual DVD.

U sure? 'Cause I see actual discs inside the boxes: youtu.be/oYVdAEjmWAI

i hope no one took off with all of the copies like someone said was being rumored around, that would just be wrong

that would be painfully wrong. ppl would at least like to know what happened.

Morally wrong yes but not a bad thing since you could sell the other 9 copies for way more money then you could have gooten for the swag.  This event is really stupid to have ballons randomly float around and hope people will play fair when they have very little inccentive to.

no...it would still be bad. Especially cuz you just sold your soul for 300 pieces of silver. Screwed your fellow fans...it's just bad juju all the way around. I wouldn't want that juju.

I don't think you sold your soul because it is first come first serve. I hope this teaches Bioware a lesson not to do an event as stupid as this. Having multiple people potentially fighting over a back of games could get ugly quick. They need a more controlled event to say the least.

lol. No, that's BS. it is. i'm sorry. if sumone went out there and hijacked the stuff, then they know it's wrong. period. it's wrong. if that's wat even happened.

And thieves don't get to preach to ppl. i mean, if you're gonna be a scoundrel, there's always opportunity. it comes down to you. is that acceptable? is that a choice one should make even if they don't get caught? even if no one is looking?

cuz they can make sum profit at the expense others. oh, yeah, great. we need more of that in this world.

My question is, if someone who did not agree to the terms and conditions of this contest happened upon this and just simply picked it up, and ran off with it, are they even entitled to the prize? they didn't accept the terms and definitely did not sign any sort of NDA that Bioware would no doubt (and rightfully so) impose upon them.

well as it stand they cant do anything... they cant sell them they cant play them due the ea servers need to connect to the game to let it play.

Thanks Jesse! On our way back up there.

Think some cool boys went there, found the balloon, grabbed the cool stuff and then disappeared and threw the GPS into a interesting spot to raise attention. Just losing a copy of a game in the midst of the desert.

I asked him to drive up to Vegas, last night.  (It's an hour from his house.)  When I found out it was an hour closer and flying over his house, he volunteered to go look for it. 

Coolest dad award, plz.

I know, right?  He also built Bianca for my Varric cosplay, as well as Heartbreaker and Backstabber for Subitoallegra's Isabela cosplay! 

I'm trying to convince him he wants to cosplay Zaeed.

I think the plan WAS to use APRS...but either the transmitter wasn't activated properly (or at all) or it was broken and not transmitting like they thought it was.

Ok, I've been out for work the entire day.

Can someone update me on the news of today?

[JemmaProphet]

I guess it just goes to show that no matter how much technology we have, the planet's really big and kind of hard to get around. Keep looking, guys!

At least until we get our jetpacks!

yes you are right but in this case they really cant sell them! unless someone  is daft enough to try to sell them on site other then ebay and or sell them by word of mouth and once someone starts up a xbox andor ps3 there going to be introuble if they try to use anyting inside the case

[MissFish]

I've just sent the coordinates to a group of about 7 people, they were at the previous location, so they should be closing in soon.

Short version -- the Vegas launch was delayed and so two loads were sent up with one balloon. It traveled a lot farther than planned, and apparently the APRS tracker wasn't functioning, so the teams are looking for it based on the emergency broadcast signal.

It's landed somewhere near Golden City, Arizona -- as far as anyone can tell. It hasn't been found yet. The last set of coords they have does not appear to be where the balloon actually is, and nobody's sure if it landed somewhere else, or if someone found it and made off with it before the retrieval teams could get to it.

As far as I know, people are still looking, and Bioware's in the area (and they don't have it either).

[goodventure]

I'm searching endlessly around the last given coordinates!

balloon landed
 may have been stolen
 ea cant track it any more people are saying its in a lake which doesnt make sense since it didnt land anywhere near a lake and on top  of that someone saw someone driveaway when they got there..

So jelly. Those are some rad props.
He could definitely pull off Zaeed!

"recovery team "Hammerhead" have come back on line and have FOUND the package! It's deep in the desert, so they are moving it out."

[Major Alenko]

they found it

[Jesse Reid]

Hey guys, the launch team has found the balloon and they'll be putting up on the @masseffect Twitter feed where they're located. I'm heading out to grab something to eat, good luck to all the searchers.

Hey guys, so the launch team is in the area. They are basing their search off of 35.2353,-114.2465. Which is really close to what I gave out last time.

GO HERE, DUDE!
