2K Games has teamed up with both HMV Gamerbase and Scan computers to offer the gamers of London the chance to win a top-spec gaming rig, ahead of Bioshock 2′s release on February 9th. If you like the sound of an overclocked Core i7 and an XFX GTX 285, wrapped up in one of Corsairs Obsidian cases, then you’re certainly with the majority here. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t like the sound of it? Unless of course, you play one of those Playstation 360 things, maybe?
The “Hack our PC” competition is currently running at the HMV Gamerbase in London’s Trocadero, Piccadilly. So, if you’re in the area and fancy your chances head down to the Gamerbase and look out for the Bioshock Section, where you’ll get your opportunity to “hack” the PC. There’ll be no firewall breaking or back door intrusions required, to hack the PC you’ll simply need to guess a 6-digit number (which is probably a lot harder than it sounds). Rest assured, if you don’t win first time around, you can always try again the next day.
Full Specs of the rig in question are:
- Intel Core i7 870 (Overclocked)
- Asus P7P55D motherboard
- Corsair Obsidian Chassis
- Corsair H50 Cooler
- Corsair 550Watt PSU
- Corsair 4GB TwinX memory
- XFX GTX285 NVIDIA graphics card
- 500GB Samsung Spinpoint HDD
- DVDRW
- Windows7
If you want to experience Bioshock 2 in it’s full glory, that’s certainly the rig to do it on. It’s also great to see 2K Games actively promoting PC gaming alongside the release of Bioshock 2, we PC gamers feel forgotten about all too often, so let’s all say a big “Thank you” to 2K!
