Sega is sponsoring a second Spud Dive on Nov. 23 in Hollywood - and the winner gets the dream Dreamcast setup. The event will be held next to Mann's Chinese Theater next Monday, and the winner gets a first-off-the-line US Dreamcast system and Sega Dreamcast games for life. How's that for a prize, eh? Lucky winners can catch prizes like cash or be the first gamer on the block to own a US DC.
Of course, there is a slight catch. You've got to jump into a vat of more than 2,000 gallons of mashed potatoes and find letters to spell "Sega Dreamcast." The first one that does wins the grand prize. As an added benefit, and in the spirit of the holidays, Sega will make a food donation of $1,000 to a local charity.
One EGM Editor (who shall remain nameless... but let's just called him "John R." No, wait... "J. Ricciardi") commented today that he'd jump into a vat of something else - brown, smelly, more like potatoes after they've been, well... digested - to win that grand prize.
Think you're up to the challenge (the potatoes, that is)? Here are the details:
