Win a Xbox One via Doritos, Mountain Dew promotion online, PAX Prime

4.7
Microsoft has partnered with the Doritos and Mountain Dew brands to give away thousands of Xbox Ones in exchange for the longevity of your health, a press release revealed last week.

Specially-marked packages of Mountain Dew and Doritos will contain codes to be used as currency in online auctions for Xbox One consoles beginning on November 5. Participants can begin to stockpile codes on the contest's website on September 30, but nothing's stopping anyone from stockpiling the snack foods for the next two months.

PAX Prime attendees can also scan QR codes hidden in the convention center to bid on Xbox One systems in an auction on Sunday from 9 p.m. til midnight PST. The QR codes can be scanned with the PAX Guidebook App to bid on one of 30 Xbox One consoles, as well as subscription cards, gaming headsets and general merchandise. The press release notes that some codes "are worth more than others," so scrounging for as many as you can find might be worth your time.

Impossibility very low chance of winning this

Katsumi Will Australia have something along these lines?


We should do, isn't all about the US after all :/


Sadly, it is. US are always first over any other place when it comes to this sort of stuff, it's how it is. Like with the release of Black Ops 2, only the US (I believe) had codes for hours and hours of double XP from Doritos and Mountain Dew.


Totally true. Maybe its shipping problems


Nope, people just put America first because its America.


Damn, that's stupid, half the people that have already entered probably have ordered an Xbox One or PS4 ;(


America is more populated so they need to reach the biggest countries first


Well to be honest there is a few places more populated than America, Russia for example.


I think he meant that the USA was more populated in the since that it's the biggest market for Microsoft and PepsiCo.

Mozilla-Firefox lol what's the chance of winning one


Not too good I don't think, although its worth an enter if you can anyway lol


Like all giveaways by big corporations, the chances are pretty slim. But with a console being won every 2 minutes it's at least worth entering

That's one pretty freaking sweet deal!

Good luck to the people entering, Im not though.

I guess thats true, but we also can purchase these products so I think all, if not the majority of the gamers in the world can do this.
