Mass Effect 3 copies launched into space will crash down for your discovery
The copies will be sent into the upper reaches of the atmosphere using weather balloons. Launching over New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Berlin, London and Paris next week, the balloons with carry the games into space before popping, leaving gravity to take over and pull the discs back down to Earth.
Eager fans will be able to track the games via the official site and, eventually, go on a wild chase for them when they touch down, in the best game of finders-keepers we've ever heard.
Of course, that means those who find the games will get to play it weeks before the March 6 (US)/March 9 (UK) launch.
A Mass Effect 3 demo is available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace.

That's actually pretty cool. i could only imagine what it'd be like if Infinity Ward did that with MW3. People would kill each other for it weeks early!But its cool how they are trying this, i'm curious to see how it turns out and who actually gets it...

alexander85It was just a joke guys, i didn't think people would care that much to be serious!Cyndaquil9159because you'd be firing it in an unsanctioned areaOasisHawks484vokalWhat if he used a pellet or airsoft gun? PROBLEM?Dummazz420 Haha what if a fan got a rifle and shot down the balloon so he could get his game.lol he would go to jail for a felony for endangerment.
Then they'd still be in possession of a firearm, an offence that would be met by armed police if they saw it fit to protect the public against the holder.
airsoft guns are legal in most states, how would it be a crime to have an airsoft gun?
