Pontiac wants you to be the first to play Halo 3

Want to be the first to play Halo 3? Want to see and experience Halo 3 in all its glory on an IMAX screen? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then go and enter Pontiac's Be The First promotion. We say this only because you could win a ticket into a New York or San Francisco IMAX play session or win a copy of Halo 3 to be delivered to your door on September 24th, which is one full day before your friends will get their copy. If your interest is piqued, head on over to Pontiac's Be The First website (US residents only) and sign up. Once all signed in you'll have a chance to enter both giveaways separately by completing some sort of puzzling puzzle. Yeah, it's a tad bit tedious, but it's for Halo 3 so suck it up and play their mind games. Also note that you can enter once every day, so keep heading back for more chances to win. We smell winners amongst us, now who could it be?

1. I "won", but the ticket that you print off says that there are a lot more rewards than there are seats, so it's sort of a hybrid "chance to win" with a "first come, first serve".

I'll transcribe what it says:

6. "2,500 invitations will be distributed per event, and a maximum of 200 ticket holders and their guests will be granted access into the live event. "

That is pretty damn lame.

7. I agree real lame would be awesome to get in but I'm not driving 6 hours for a 1 in 12.5 chance to get in they should really just tell you if your in or not!
Well I'll just hope I win the game!
Doubt it I never seem to win anything!

9. It's probably not going to help your chances by writing answers on popular sites lol.

Posted at 12:07PM on Sep 7th 2007 by Tony

10. @Tony

I was talking with the friends of mine that I'm doing this with, and the Cambridge answer isn't relivent anymore. That same "not a winner" message has been up for a while now, which is why I didn't mind saying what the answer was.

Posted at 12:20PM on Sep 7th 2007 by Heliophage

11. @Heliophage

Which one did you do: First to play, or first to own? Is the 'riddle' the same for both?

Posted at 12:24PM on Sep 7th 2007 by BobTheMonkey

12. Damn, that's a gay contest. Take that form to San Francisco and hope you get in. Nice!

13. "You have successfully completed your objective but you're not a winner."

That's kinda rude. I am a winner, dammit!

Posted at 12:32PM on Sep 7th 2007 by Gemini Ace

14. Yep got the same message.. im more hoping I will win the game a day early. Thats shitty that a company like pontiac wont pay for transportation to the event

damn.

Posted at 12:36PM on Sep 7th 2007 by LiquidM3taL

15. For those complaining that they're giving 2500 tickets for 200 seats, recognize that a huge majority of winners will be too far from the sites to bother going. Like me, for instance.

16. @BobTheMonkey

First To Play is a puzzle. First To Own is been two questions (the same two questions for over a day, with the same message when you win).

17. This American Bullshit sucks... We have Imax theaters all over the fuckin place in Toronto...
