13 Days of Gears' sweepstakes shells out $25K in prizes


We thought Epic and Microsoft would use a patch to entice players to play Gears of War 2, turns out the plan is to use $25,000 in prizes! For 13 days in February, Microsoft is giving away $25,000 in prizes to random Gears of War 2 players, in celebration of the upcoming movie, Friday the 13th. Prizes include HDTVs, signed Gears of War 2 posters from the development team and Locust busts.

To enter, you need to register here by January 31, then play one match in the daily designated gametype, from February 1 to February 13. The pairing of Gears of War 2 and Friday the 13th may seem random but we hope this means someone will finally turn all that Marcus Fenix vs. Jason fan fiction into a flick, one day. Chainsaw vs. Blade. Space Du-rag vs. Hockey Mask. Believe.

Prizes and gameplay dates after the jump. Contest is open to US residents only.
