Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), a gaming culture festival, announced today the grand prize for the Omegathon III challenge, an annual three-day gaming tournament in which contestants prove themselves in a range of games undisclosed before the event. This year, the winner will get his hands on a brand new 2006 Scion xB in Black Sand Pearl, featuring a package containing 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.
PAX is set to invade Washington State this August 25th-27th, and will feature a lineup of top sponsors including, among others, Microsoft, Nintendo, Nvidia, ArenaNet, America's Army, Turbine, NCSoft, Atari, Ubisoft, Mythic, Sabertooth Games, Foundation 9, Rockstar, Flying Lab Software, Wizards of the Coast, Creative Labs, The Behemoth, Intel, ATI, Garage Games, AMD, and Red Octane. In addition to booths filled with pre-release games, PAX offers attendees a host of game-related conference sessions, parties, concerts and contests.
Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade declared:
"The first year, the Omegathon champion received every PlayStation 2 game ever made. The next year it was every NES game ever made. This year, in accordance with the massive growth of PAX, we decided it was time to up the ante."
