Seems these consoles won't get to the winners for launch.
Maybe 12 - 14 weeks IS the real launch.

Yeah, just noticed that looking for a no-purchase-required way to sign up.Nice.
This seems designed to purely get you to buy as much soda and doritos as possible.
Good luck to all the US fellow GAFfers.
If you win one please enjoy FORZA 5 for me, please!
With the previous Xbox360 version of this, it was set up like a lottery. They pooled entries and picked one at random. If yours was picked, you won.
This appears to be an ebay style auction, which is pure evil. You accumulate points, and put them toward an auction. You can set a maximum bid, that you're willing to try. Other people will also bid, raising the current bid on the console.

Mountain Dew is OK imo. It doesn't taste great but it doesn't taste terrible either, pretty much in the middle for me.Only Mountain Dew and Doritos? Crap.
The 2005 deal had all Pepsi beverages, which included some palatable sustances.
On the other hand, you can guarantee yourself a console with any combo of 1000 dew/dorito codes by having the first bid of 1000.
Didn't someone break this during the 360 days allowing people to get free 360s?
Hmm... I don't see that in the FAQ anywhere. Did I miss it somewhere?
They did this for xbox 360 right?
My dew is ready
Yup, and I think quite a few GAFfers won actually. Or was it that Subway promotion with Uncharted?

So you'll end yo having to spend over $500 just to prolly win a bid.
Plus side you'll get to eat/drink that 500?
each entry isn't worth the same amount of points, so you would need 150,000 points (max points) not 1000 entries (75-150,000 points). I don't get why it isn't capped at 300,000 points. You can only enter 500 24-packs

I wonder if this will be set up like that PS Trophy one was...you spend your trophies (points) and they are gone, whether you win or not. THAT would be evil.
They did this for xbox 360 right?
every 2 mins... and for 66 days? I wonder how many units do they have or is this promotional fluff

Diet Dew for the win! I have a few friends who live on Doritos so I'll have them pull me codes from their bags. The Forza Auction sounds awesome.
