If you haven't noticed already, Oceanic Airlines has partnered with Xbox Live to give away Xbox 360 consoles, Microsoft points, Live subscriptions and special surprise packages to nine lucky peeps who download their theme.

@ smullie

Ive came to terms with the fact that living in europe means im the bottom of the barrel when it comes to things i like. So much for a internationaly friendly ARG aye? pfft

Smullie said...

Well considering the ARG side of it, this one was easier to follow. But as soon a live podcast or something would occur, yeah that's a bummer. Ow, and the update's being at 2 in the A.M. and..
OK, you're right....

Do you have to own an Xbox game console to enter this thing? All I have is PS2.

BlueSkyAhead899, yes, you need Xbox 360 console to enter this.

Here are some screens of the theme, console language is set to russian, so all text is on russian, but that doesn't affect theme at all, don't worry :)

lol ill be honest, the way this one was set out i thought it would be internationaly able aswell, despite the 2am thing (which i must admit killed me when it ment getting up for college) but when it came to ringing up numbers that were based in america even though the company is australian, i though ok then but carried on. then pennys phone number apeared and i got really excited thinking FINALLY something for the UK fans, and it wad a bloody fake number. that kind of killed my excitement.

Kuiosikle, you won, okay :D

btw, how did you manage to make sections without anything, just backgrounds? just curious

xmozzazx said...

You've got to be kidding me. This is the Oceanic giveaway?
I can't say as it surprises me, I knew better than to get my hopes up, but this plainly blows.

Tom21 said...

*plane-ly blows :]

Arednel said...

why does everything have to be microsoft *grumbles*

and i'll not mention my europe-ness either, being a gamer in europe sucks even more as the games timeframe is ridiculous, at least shows are starting to get better but sometimes in the gaming world its getting worse *sigh*

Kuiosikle said...

kpan, there is a Freeze function on my tv's remote. I froze the screen while switching between blades.

So you need an Xbox to win an Xbox? Great :P

Bill Sweeney said...

[sarcasm]
Oh, I see how it ties into Lost now.... it like a paradox or an oroboros. (you need an xbox to win an xbox) It's like holding a mirrior to a mirror. GENIUS! [/sarcasm]

Insipid.
It's both strange and stupid that xbox doesn't want NEW users.
Did anybody really think this one all the way through?

andrea said...

Today I'll buy an Xbox 360 so I can win the Oceanic Xbox.


....So they think we are going to do this?!? No way, man!

The right thing to do, in my opinion, was to give away special editions of the Xbox game (that is coming out at the end of february)...

gottawatchlost said...

This is crazy...
I'm not going to buy an XBOX for the "chance" to win an XBOX. Guess I can't play the game. Those are really dumb rules.

Aaaaaahhhh! Our Xbox is being worked on currently!!! Hope we get it back before the deadline to enter! Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry technicians, mailman, husband to hook it back up!
