Penny Arcade today announced the grand prize for the Omegathon III, the three-day gaming tournament in which contestants must prove their mettle in a range of games undisclosed before the event. This year, the winner will drive off in a brand new 2006 Scion xB in Black Sand Pearl, featuring a game geek's dream package of a flipdown 15" widescreen monitor, Xbox 360 Premium System, 6-speaker sound system with CD/MP3 player, custom taillights and wheels with low-profile tires. Now that's a pimped ride!

Set to invade Washington State this August 25-27, the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) will feature a sponsors including Microsoft, Nintendo, Ubisoft, Mythic, Rockstar, Flying Lab Software, Wizards of the Coast, Creative Labs, The Behemoth, Intel, ATI, among others. PAX offers attendees a host of game-related conference sessions, parties, concerts and contests. In addition to a horde of game players from around the world, both enthusiast press and consumer press have registered to attend in force.

"The first year, the Omegathon champion received every PlayStation 2 game ever made. The next year it was every NES game ever made," said Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade. "This year, in accordance with the massive growth of PAX, we decided it was time to up the ante." Nice!

If I were to enter and win I'd sell it minus the 360 I'd have a good time smashing it, setting off explosives in it, possibly p!ssing on it and all in all having a good time destroying it just cause I could.

» scion.....HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!

I was going to say something clever, but scion's arent worth the effort. Whoever decided these ugly, f***ing go-karts are cool should be deprived of oxygen. Oh, and why would you want to spend EXTRA $$$$$$$$$ on them in an effort to make them not suck (it just makes them look even more pathetic..)? JUST BUY A BETTER CAR TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!

» Go Paul!

I agree. That car is pug fugley!

» Wow

...For some reason the people over at Scion were making a van, but midway decided it should be an SUV instead

Hey #10! make fun of the car all you want but leave pugs out of it. My pug is far from fugley!!

Scion's are the gayest car ever made.

by Tu Madre - 2006-08-12 20:47
» Yeah well...

I actually work for Toyota/Scion. And while I don't like the xB or the xA, I think the TC is badass. 2.4 liter machine.



One other thing I would like to say is... It's probably automatic. ***** automatic tansimission. I hate automatic with a passion. I'll drive stick until I'm 80 and my *****ing knees snap in half.
