No, not actual blades. But you can have the “glory” of winning some cool prizes over at SecondLife.com courtesy of the folks who are bringing you the DVD release of Paramount’s Blades of Glory, starring Will Ferrell and Jon Heder. The film was a runaway hit in the spring, raking in over $100 million at the box office. And on August 24 you will be able to own it on DVD, Blu-ray and HD-DVD.
Check out the promotion with SecondLife below:
Paramount Home Entertainment (PHE) is giving visitors to the virtual world of Second Life a chance to go for the gold in a week-long celebration with a DVD release party that will take place simultaneously in 12 skating rinks within Second Life. Visitors to the party will be able to don free virtual replicas of the outrageous costumes seen in the film, as well as ice skates that will allow avatars to perform signature BLADES OF GLORY moves on the ice in singles or pairs. Users who skate at all 12 rinks during the week of August 24-31 will be entered into a prize drawing in which the grand prize includes 10,000 Linden dollars, a gift certificate to a sporting goods store and a BLADES OF GLORY DVD. Second and third prizes will be 1,000 Linden dollars and a BLADES OF GLORY DVD. Please visit www.bladesofglorymovie.com or go directly to www.secondlife.com to create your own avatar and take part in the festivities.
Sounds like a lot of fun. I have never been to Second Life, but it looks like an online version of The Sims, only geared more toward adults. Check out the specks on Second Life below:
Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 9,026,621 Residents from around the globe.
Pretty cool. So aside from joining a community of 9,026,621, you can have the chance to win some cool Blades of Glory schwag. I’m in. Who’s with me?
