I will do my best to get together with both Logitech and Playtech, and between the three of us, I'm sure we can make some great things happen for the New Zealand gaming community in terms of both promotions and great hardware, at even better prices.

That's about it from us, see you all at Xlan!

Right lets make this short and sweet!

Thanks to sila. and the great fella's over at Logitech, we have some great gear to give away and here's how you can get your grubby little mitts on it!
This competition is open to all Call of Duty 4 players that are competing in the CoD4 tournament at Xlan this year. The rules are simple! the first two players to score Ace's whilst playing in an official CoD4 tournament game at Xlan will win a prize pack Including a G9 Laser gaming mouse and a G15 Keyboard!

Scoring an ace means killing all five of your enemy opponents in one round, commonly known as a 'team down'. The Xlan CoD4 Tournament will require you to record demos of your games anyway, so if you manage to score a team down, make sure you keep the demo file!

This competition is no way in conjunction with the great folks running Xlan or the event itself, we simply ask that if you manage to get an Ace that you keep your demo, as we will be accepting entries a week or so after Xlan has finished.
