Guitar Hero 5 Black Sabbath Giveaway

Back in January, I announced that three master tracks of Black Sabbath’s (After Forever, Sweet Leaf, & Into the Void) were going to be released for the Guitar Hero 5 game back in February. That didn’t happen (for reasons I never found out), but I’m writing to say that the tracks will now be released two weeks from today, on April 29th, 2010.
Today I’m also here to tell you that thanks to Activision, I’m going to be giving away five copies of the track pack. The prize will be in the form of a downloadable code you will be emailed if you win the contest. The prizes are for the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3 – no other platforms. Anyway, I’m going to be running one of my traditional trivia giveaways for this. Please make sure to pay attention to the submission rules. If you don’t, your entry will not be counted.
CONTEST RULES:

• Send in your answers to the trivia questions only to the email address guitarhero5@black-sabbath.com – Emails sent to any other address will be ignored.
• The contest runs through Thursday April 29th, 2010 at 11:59PM Central Time.
• You must send in your name and address with your entry or it will be ignored.
• You must send in your console preference (360 or PS3) with your entry. You cannot get both. Only one.
• According to my contact who gave me the codes to give away, this contest is only open to those in US/Canada. Sorry about that, guys, but there’s nothing I can do.
