, posted Wed 3 Dec 18:53
Apparently, EA Games is doing low-key advertising, small game tournaments and such, on a few college campuses and dorms in the US.
I came back into my dorm building to see a poster about a Need for Speed Underground tournament. I saw it an hour late, though, and when I went into the room with 20 people where the tournament was being held, it was in the final round. (The prizes were PS2 copies of NfSU and FIFA 2004.)
Still, I was given a Need for Speed cap (and also one of the EA Games "Challenge Everything" plastic banners, 2ft. by 3ft., that they had up on the wall -- I don't think that's an official giveaway, but the reps said they had a few in excess). They were also distributing t-shirts, deep-brown in color.
The representatives I spoke to said it was 30 campuses that were being targeted -- they didn't have a list though, and apparently they said there's no website for this campaign either. I put my IGNMail account on their mailing list -- it's for other tournaments in the area, but I'll see if I come up with a bit more info about the campaign on a national level.
It's only 30 US colleges, but still, it's just a heads up if you're in one, especially in the dorms. (I guess we were one of the selected colleges because we're the #1 party school right now...)

There's a Halo tournament coming up at my school (Columbus State University) but I could care less about it. I'm just not into Halo. I believe it's just being sponsored by Gamespot or something though.

what school do you go to? maybe that will give us sort of an idea of what other schools might be on the list.
