"Missing Droid X Real-World Give-Away" Contest (1st Post:Updated)

WTFFFFFF!

"the final clue of each GPS location for each Certificate will be tweeted at the time it is hidden."

so basically,
1) there are no hidden droids. they are certificates.
2) there are no hidden certificates yet.
3) when the final GPS clue is given, hell will freeze over at these locations.

Nice find! From what I gathered there are 21 "certificates" to be found. These certificates have instructions on obtaining said Droid X.

The scavenger hunt officially begins today and ends on the 15th and the retail price of the Droid X is in fact $569.

Also people have 4 hours from the time the clues posted on twitter before the certificates will be awarded by the sponsors to someone in the hidden certificate area.

Guess it will be a mad dash then. I'd like to ask for some opinions as to when you think they will be dropping these clues because currently I'm about an hour and a half away from Houston (In College Station), and I wasn't planning on going back to visit family until Monday. So should I go in earlier, say Saturday or do you guys think I'd be okay waiting?

Thanks

It's going to be a free-for-all once they post the coordinates. F**k you Verizon. F**k you.

You'll be on TV ;)
 
well good luck everyone...guess i'm just waiting on the coordinates for #13 now...this actually takes all the fun out of it...and i agree, those rules were just posted today
 
Yeah turning it into a simple race isn't nearly as cool as a geocaching. Honestly though, we shouldn't be surprised, making it more time-sensitive (so we're watching tweets non-stop) and resulting in a frenzy merges right in with the Verizon marketing department's obvious goal of creating "buzz"

Too bad.
