The holiday season is upon us, or it was 4 months ago if yo uwere any retail chain, but it looks like EA Games and DICE are giving us the greatest gift of all...Love....oh and 1.6 million dollars. But they're not just giving it away...oh they are...oh okay but first, yeah, well it looks like the largest console video game competition  (outside of Korea) with players around the world (No Pimps allowed) to be competing for the online tournament in early 2012.

The culimination of bringing Virgin Games and a lot of good marketing with the website BattlefieldMillions.com will eventually all come down to a few competitors and be broadcast live online. This could be the beginning or the fizzle for e-Sports that America needs to compete with the world.

“We’re always looking to raise the bar for our members, to give them truly epic gaming experiences they won’t find anywhere else and Battlefield 3 hits the mark,” said Zachary Zeldin, Co-Founder of Virgin Gaming. “This partnership with EA and DICE is exactly the kind of relationship it takes to deliver on that goal, and we can’t be more excited to be working with them to host the greatest competitive gaming event I’ve ever seen.” I can feel their passion there and teh game will sell over a million copies easily on release, I know taht I'll be getting mine fairly soon post-release or hell maybe EA will be really nice and send me one...hintity hint hint.


“The Battlefield series has always been a very social experience with its best-in-class multiplayer gameplay and we’re honored to have such passionate and loyal fans,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, General Manager, DICE. “We want to give them the best Battlefieldexperience we’ve ever created with Battlefield 3. The Worldwide Conquest Tournament with Virgin Gaming is a great way to celebrate the gameplay and reward our fans.”

Absolutely cannot wait for the tournament to kick of, I'mn not that good a player, plus I have other commitments, like writing this...and other things, but yay, e-Sports.
