Its not quite Katamari Damacy-odd but its....yea, its pretty damned odd.  

Lets start with the puzzle crackin!

That is odd. That video that plays definitely has a couple of quick flashes of the X-Box360 (during guys bouncing on balls in office and even quicker right have the "champagne" scene). And that ending imagery is damn sexual.  Myabe it means you can have sex with the 360?

I fooled around with it some this morning.   I really think this has something to do with International sales of XBOX 360.  Notice on the tree the US flag is not represented.  I clicked on the UK flag and it took me to some sort of quiz.   Will play around with it more this evening when I am home

I completed the quiz using the UK flag, but when you enter for getting the quiz correct it does not list the United States as a country.

okay, i messed around at some sites and this is a contest for Europeans




Going to put this in spoiler just in case someone wants to figure it out on there own

Spoiler for Hiden:

its a european only competition.

someone posted this in the LIVE forums::

"Its not that hard to work out, European only, competition, X05 is what, next week, closing date 27/09/05, the competition is to win tickets to the invite only X05 in Amsterdam."

sounds pretty plausable to me.


Actually, Origen is the U.S. (remember, they launch first) and the price is for a ticket to the U.S. launch. And yes, this is only for the Euro countries listed below.

Actually if you look in the terms of service it says exactly what it is.  It's a european only contest where you fill out a short quiz and two people will be chosen to attend a 360 launch party in the USA in November.  I don't know if it's supposed to be a big mystery or anything.

I don't think the fruit is legal...

This has turned out to be one of the most silly, lame, underwhelming viral marketing campaigns of all time. If this is all it is, then color me unimpressed and a bit annoyed with all the hubbub.

dude. This is a Europe only thing.

I got to a form and a quiz. then I had a selection of all the major european markets (only).

Ah well.

MEGATON!
