Old Spice Experience Challenge returns ... sort of

by Justin McElroy { Jan 31st 2008 at 10:30AM }

We're sure you all have fond memories of the Old Spice Experience Challenge, which tasked gamers with earning enough gamerscore points to qualify for Fusion Frenzy 2, which was comparable to sprinting to the top of a steep hill to pick up your complimentary knife wound. Now, the challenge has returned, and while you're still getting prizes for points, it's with a very different structure.

This time, you're not just competing with yourself, you're competing with your friends, and the more of them you can get in on a competition, the better prizes will be up for grabs. You'll fight against all of them for a set period of time and the top earner gets the goods, which range from a $20 Best Buy gift card to an Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. Like last time though, prizes are limited, so you'll probably want to get your friends together soon if you want a showdown for the best swag.

First prize = Xbox 360 HD DVD player
Second prize = Two Xbox 360 HD DVD players?

Okay, maybe the format war isn't quite over yet, but given the recent developments this seems an odd inclusion in the prizes...

Maybe the idea is to overburden you with more of a failing format you if you come second ^^

Christian @ Jan 31st 2008 10:42AM

They will probably be offering mini disc and betamax players as prizes in future competitions :)

KayRazy Ken Kutaragi @ Jan 31st 2008 12:52PM

Ooohhh, Xbox 360 HD-DVD (I am so glad I won't have to say that much longer) player. Where's the BetaMax? How about Laaazer Disc?

KiraXD @ Jan 31st 2008 6:38PM

The link appears to be dead.

And seriously... is anyone going to go all out on this?

NATO_Duke @ Jan 31st 2008 10:39AM

This was so annoying last time. I went to get a prize after getting the points and they were all gone. It hurt. Hurt bad.

BRUCE F*CKING CAMPBELL!

This post is cool just because of that pic.

Me @ Jan 31st 2008 12:33PM

You are correct!!!

Bruce Campbell kicks ass, now if only "My Name Is Bruce" would come out already.

Jack @ Jan 31st 2008 1:37PM

You said everything I was going to say. In fact I just CTRL+Fed "Bruce" just to see of anyone had said it. You win. So now I'll have to settle with giving you the +1 and replying under you.

So yeah, anyway, BRUCE CAMPBELL FTFW!

@Jerk Face

I posilutly, absativly, have no ideas regarding the meanification of your statement to my persons. I tried to searchificate for the meanitudinal definational defintion of your statement on google, but as the texans say "Foolisize me once, shamificational discrace on me and my person, Follisize me twice, well, i cannot get Follisized any more due to the amount of shamifcational discarce i recived in the intial Follisization."

Incidentilitudginol, only 23%itude of the above passificates the spelling and/or grammar checkification machine's checkification of the clarification of spelling and/or grammer...

Dag man

baby sea tuna @ Jan 31st 2008 11:46AM

Eh, better a knife would than an axe-wound.

Or maybe not...

baby sea tuna @ Jan 31st 2008 11:56AM

Um...wound, that is.

Jigsaw hc @ Jan 31st 2008 11:55AM

Wow. Way to post news 6 weeks late. These challenges have been going for almost 2 months now.

Grimmus @ Jan 31st 2008 11:56AM

Since it is the Old Spice challenge, you'd think they'd send out complimentary sticks of deodorant to help quell the stench of the un-bathed masses.

ChangeAgent @ Jan 31st 2008 10:07PM

...we are working on that! ;)

xGeneral DEATHx @ Jan 31st 2008 12:08PM

"...comparable to sprinting to the top of a steep hill to pick up your complimentary knife wound."

Mr Achievement @ Jan 31st 2008 2:20PM

Get your research on and get a load of games... Gamerscore Challenges are a fun way to drive up your point total and win cool prizes... I don't see any reason NOT to sign up. If you lose, so what? If you win, Free Gamefly for a Year is AWESOME.
