Be the first to play Gears of War 2

I just saw this on IGN.com, thought I'd spread the word:

"Microsoft and Spike TV are looking for one Gear Head to be the first Regular Joe to play Gears of War 2. How do you get your name in the running? It's easy, really. All you need to do by Friday, September 19, 2008 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time is fill out this questionnaire and send it with a picture of yourself as well as a 150 word essay that speaks to why you should be among first to play Gears of War 2 to SpikeCasting@Spike.com.

Of course there are a few other catches that could stop you from making it to Sera. First, you must be 21 years old. Second, you have to be in the Los Angeles area for a three-day period either at the end of September or beginning of October. Other than that, everything else is pretty much run of the mill." -Nate Ahearn, IGN.com

Sounds pretty sweet. Good luck anyone who enters.
