GameSetCompetition: Limited-Edition Pepsi Rock Band Guitar Alert!

Well, we haven't run a competition on GameSetWatch for frickin' ages -- mainly because we're a little picky about what we show off to our readers. This is particularly true because it's pretty much stealth marketing when lovely PR folks offer us giveaways, anyhow.

But every now and again, the coolness factor does overwhelm any other impulses, and I fear it's true with this new GameSetCompetition, hurray.

Therefore, we're giving away, in association with Pepsi and Harmonix, a limited edition, numbered Xbox 360 Rock Band guitar designed by Matt Moore of MWM Graphics.

Apparently, this is part of a special Pepsi/Rock Band co-promotion which includes song codes in bottlecaps and some kind of special performance video competition - so they're sending some guitar to bloggers as part of the whole shenanigans, neat.

Anyhow, you might want to answer a question in order to win this fine fake guitar, which is sitting in my office at work right now, and here's what I decided as the magic Q:

Name one Rock Band song which appears in the game in a different language version to its original recording?

One entry per person, deadline is Sunday, July 12th at midnight PST, submit entries to editors@gamesetwatch.com, winner will be randomly picked from all correct entries, and good luck to all.

Finally, if you'd like to see more pictures of the guitar, looks like they have a gallery over at NotCot.com, so knock yourself out.
