Winning tickets into PAX may be closed, but those attending will still have a chance to enter (and win!) some pretty incredible gaming bundles at the show.  All it takes is a little sticker-action, and you could score one of the most valuable prizes at the show.  Keep reading  below to see how "The Human Bumper Sticker Project" is played!  Prizes include game bundles (your choice) and free switchbucks to spend right here on PlaySwitch.com!

Playswitch.com is teaming up with our friends at PAX East to bring even more excitement to the upcoming show that’s happening March 26th – 28th in Boston, Massachusetts.  To help celebrate this gathering of gaming’s most eclectic bunch, we’re giving away loads of fantastic prizes, including 3-day passes to the show itself!

Win Tickets to PAX East 2010!

Anticipation for this year’s show is at fever-pitch, and it’s been sold out since February.  But fear not, as playSwitch has two 3-day passes and we’re just giving them away!  There’s two ways to get your hands on them, and things couldn’t be easier.

Registered users can simply make a trade with any game that’s less than 6-months old (October 2009 – March 2010) and let us know you want in.  Every trade you make is another chance to win, so there’s never been a better time to start raiding the cupboard.

Don’t have any eligible games to trade?  We’ll make it even easier for you.  Registered users can email us directly and tell us why you really, really want to attend the show.  Be creative and be sincere, as we’re suckers for a good old fashioned sob story.  Don’t have an account?  Register today – it’s free!

We’ll be announcing winners on March 23rd, and they will need to contact us immediately.  If we don’t hear from you by the 24th, new winners will be chosen from our list of runner-ups.  Winners are responsible for their own travel, expenses, and personal hygiene.


The Human Bumper Sticker Project:


Ever wanted to experience what’s it like to be your car’s bumper?  Now you can – and show your support for playSwitch at the same time!  Thousands are expected to attend, and the playSwitch crew will be searching for our biggest and more hardcore fans in attendance.

Simply print out and affix the official PlaySwitch PAX East sticker below somewhere on your person (or person of choice), and make it visible to the naked eye.  Chests, arms, and legs all make great real estate, and it never hurts to plant one right on your tuchus.  Backpacks, shirts, pants, and other clothing will be acceptable, just as long as your sticker can be spotted by one of our clandestine spies in the crowd.

Can’t do the old print ‘n stick from home?  Don’t worry, we’ll be scouring the show and giving them away for free (subject to availability).  We’ll have several scouts embedded among the masses to hand out as many as we can, so get ambitious and track us down by emailing us, or by following our Twitter posts, which we’ll be updating with our current locations at the event.

Human Bumper Sticker Prizes:


Ten finalists will be chosen daily, and we’ll be announcing the winners on April 2nd.  Eligible finalists will need to be registered with playSwitch.com, so make sure you’re signed up by the cut-off date (it’s free).
