On Thursday the 26th August Plantronics will be launching their new GameCom 777 Surround Sound PC headset and will be hosting an event for gamers of all denominations to come and try it for themselves. The launch will be held at hmv Gamerbase in London and will begin at 12pm and run through until 3.30pm.
The Plantronics GameCom 777 headset was designed specifically for gamers who demand top-level sound performance. It boasts full 7.1 Dolby surround sound, 40 mm speakers, and a hidden mic boom with built-in noise-canceling microphone.
Players and interested parties can come along and try out the new headset across a range of games completely free of charge, as well as using that opportunity to test Dolby’s gaming voice client, Dolby Axion. During the course of the event there will be several competitions that will allow fifteen lucky attendants the chance to walk away with one of these headsets.
In addition to this there will be some familiar faces in attendance. Those of you who know the Call of Duty scene, or any e-sport for that matter, will be familiar with the exploits of Team Dignitas. This event will see players of all levels have the chance to challenge Team Dignitas in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and see how they measure up against some of the best players the UK has to offer.
The competition will use the Frag Lotto system with every Frag or point in game earning that player one lotto ticket. At the end of the event all frags or points made by the player will be added up and calculated into lotto tickets.
Then all eyes will be on the gamerbase tournament organiser as they draw a number using a random generator. The player with that lotto ticket number will win the prize. The better players will have more tickets and therefore have a better chance at winning, but even if you finish with just one point you still have 1 chance of winning the top prize.
Anyone wanting to get along to the event just needs to be at the hmv Gamerbase at the London Trocadero for twelve o’clock where entrance will be open to all.
