Be bad ... and win a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta code

"FIRST!!!" You've seen that comment before -- way too many times. Readers rush to mark their territory with a self-congratulatory comment and in doing so, pollute the atmosphere of earnest discourse. We typically ban these contemptible trolls, but today -- and today only! -- we're rewarding bad behavior. Why? Because we have ten Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta codes to give away.
Today, ten PlayStation 3 posts will be specially marked for participation in this giveaway (look for the grenade icon and text seen at the bottom of this post). To enter this contest:
- Leave an "off-topic" comment on a participating post. [Note: Grossly explicit or hateful comments will be disqualified. But here's the catch: Relevant, thoughtful comments will be ineligible to win, as well.]
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec).
- Limit 1 entry per person per participating post.
- This entry period ends at 10:00PM ET on Thursday, November 19.
- Only the first confirmed eligible commenter of each participating post will receive one code for the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer beta (ARV: N/A). Codes are only for PlayStation 3 and will be active once today's PlayStation Store update occurs.
- For a list of complete rules, click here.
Congratulations to Vanquish23 on being the first to comment. You've been emailed a free Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta code. Click here, for more information on this giveaway. Official rules apply.

What a lame contest.
gr3en @ Nov 19th 2009 8:17AM
this is fucking bullshit i put this tip into joystiq twice...if you want a beta code go to http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/battlefield-bad-company-2/?_cmpid=fp523 and get a free one..dont waste ur time on this shit. joystiq you have betrayed me!
BananaBoat @ Nov 19th 2009 8:43AM
Had you checked, you'd have seen that Fileplanet is completely out of keys. They probably never had any keys for non-subscribers anyway.
At least Joystiq is giving us a chance.
Cuksis @ Nov 19th 2009 9:01AM
That's funny, because I'm a non-subscriber and was able to get one for me and one for my nephew.
BananaBoat @ Nov 19th 2009 9:35AM
I've never been able to get a code from fileplanet as a non-subscriber. I guess your luck is better than mine.
PocketAces11 @ Nov 19th 2009 10:57AM
Got mine on file planet and one for my brother last night at 6:00ish
DaRabidDuckie @ Nov 19th 2009 9:57AM
First to mention that Jade Raymond is totally hot and *mentions various things he'd do to her that'd likely get him arrested in 48 states*
Morley @ Nov 19th 2009 11:02AM
lol wut
spencer8ab @ Nov 19th 2009 1:12PM
I just got a beta code from fileplanet a second ago and I'm not a subscriber. :)
BananaBoat @ Nov 19th 2009 1:40PM
@spencer -
Thank you. I never thought I'd be saying this but...I actually got a key.
I wouldn't touch the site with a ten foot pole otherwise though. Bleh.
BananaBoat @ Nov 19th 2009 1:58PM
Oh, and the Beta isn't live yet. Keys entered won't let you download anything, in the states anyway. Once the beta is live (later tonight hopefully), the keys will become active.
Matt Ferens @ Nov 19th 2009 2:37PM
Just got mine from FilePlanet.
Crusty Magic @ Nov 19th 2009 3:16PM
Was able to get one from that link as well.
*Flips the bird to Joystiq*
IannCannon (XBL&Steam: ianncannon. PSN: Iann Cannon) @ Nov 19th 2009 5:08PM
Thanks for the link mate, I just got a beta key. Currently downloading the beta. Stupid Joystiq.
fabian @ Nov 19th 2009 5:31PM
YES i got a code now I feel better that I havnt won anything from this site in 3 years
Vanquish23 @ Nov 19th 2009 9:35PM
This is interesting... am I just seeing things? Does it really say congratulations to me for being the first to comment? That's fantastic, I hardly win things. However... I don't see a beta code in my e-mail inbox. Hope this kind of lag doesn't carry over to the Beta experience. I'm tho confused...
Vanquish23 @ Nov 19th 2009 10:44PM
woops, never mind found it. It was sitting in my spam folder.

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hari-kari rock. I need scissors! 61.

HI EVERYONE!!
coffins outside the door @ Nov 19th 2009 7:06AM
I don't know what the OP is talking about, there's no way that the Wii Vitality Sensor will ever outsell ODST.

ojileye@gmail.com @ Nov 19th 2009 7:08AM
That was literally my 1st comment on Joystiq. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read entry with nothing but beautiful, empty, comment-free space below. It was my time to shine. and I wupped naked-at-the-comp's ass. I wupped him because my ass is bad. amateur n00b commenter (that's me) for the ultimate badazz contest entry (the first one) FTW.
nakedatthecomp @ Nov 19th 2009 5:37PM
haha i had to re-read the thing three times before I believed it, if I hadn't have done that I would have been first I think! congrats man. Think I just got one off fileplanet tho :)

This comments section already looks like the comment section from a website geared toward alzheimers suffers. I love it!
But back off-topic: Pancakes!
