SANTA CLARA, Calif. — May XX, 2011 — NVIDIA is pulling out all the stops for the highly-anticipated launch of Duke Nukem Forever on June 11, 2011. Today, we’re announcing that we’re giving one extremely lucky gamer the chance to win an all-expenses VIP trip for two to the official Gearbox launch event in Dallas, Texas. (Contest open to U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec) residents only.)

Sure to be one of the coolest – and maybe the rowdiest – parties of the summer (it’s a Duke party, after all!), the Gearbox Community Day/Duke Nukem Launch Event will blow into Dallas Texas at the Palladium Ballroom. If you’re deemed worthy enough to hang with the King and his court, here’s some of the cool stuff you’re in for:

  • Test your metal playing Duke Nukem Forever alongside the Gearbox crew
  • Rub elbows with the Gearbox and NVIDIA development teams
  • Party at an exclusive NVIDIA reception before the launch event (Monday, June 13)
  • Hear from the people behind some of Gearbox’s biggest games: Duke Nukem Forever, Borderlands, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Brothers in Arms, and more
  • Get exclusive sneak-peeks at new, never-before-seen Gearbox materials
  • Join the partying and mayhem

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to party with Duke? If so, what are you waiting for? Christmas? Go to http://www.geforce.com/Community/Rewards right now to enter!

Oh yea, one thing…you need to be 21 years old to party with Duke. That’s just how he rolls. Sorry kids!

By the way, be sure your PC system is cranked up and ready for Duke. To help, NVIDIA and EVGA have teamed up to bring you Duke’s “Fully Loaded Package,” a special edition Duke Nukem Forever bundle that includes a full PC copy of Duke Nukem Forever for the PC, an EVGA GeForce® GTX 560 graphic card, a limited edition DNF art book and mouse pad, and a custom Duke Nukem “Radioactive” belt buckle.

That should complete your arsenal, giving you everything you’ll need to wipe out aliens that have been stealing Earth’s women and drinking Duke’s beer. Get Duke’s Fully Loaded Package now.

But wait, there’s one more thing….

As NVIDIA’s special guest, you’ll be one of the first gamers on the planet to see the unveiling of the brand new, official Duke Nukem Forever mod. This bad boy packs more NVIDIA GeForce GTX power than a Devastator, features a mind-blowing Duke-themed chassis, and will show Duke in all his glory in breathtaking 3D with NVIDIA 3D Vision technology. You haven’t seen a mod like this before…anywhere!

Good luck! And, we hope to see you in Texas!
