Unlock Xbox winners to get a special visit

If you entered your XBLA game idea into the Doritos sponsored Unlock Xbox contest be prepared, because winners will be getting a special visit soon. The Xbox community's very own Major Nelson is off on a mysterious trip around the country on a mission to surprise five lucky Unlock Xbox winners by stopping by their homes and telling them the good news. Major can't tell us exactly where he's headed, because that would of course ruin the whole "surprise" element, but be rest assured he's getting the first class travel treatment wherever he goes. And if you end up not getting a visit from Major, head over to the Unlock Xbox website August 20th when the top five ~~better~~ winning game ideas will be announced.

What if they dont exactly recognize him, even though I doubt someone that into a contest like that would not know him, it would just be awkward if they had no idea who he was.

Major Nelson, minor celebrity!

I used to visit MN's site all the time but these days it's full of whiny little bastards asking if he can speak to to ask when is out. Or when their 360 will be back from repair!!
