Well, it’s June again which can only mean that we’re coming up to E3 and if it’s coming up to E3 it means TSA is getting ready to play some E3 Bingo! This is the 5th year we’ve been playing E3 Bingo and after a fantastic 4 years being run by Greg, this year the community team have taken it on. As a result of this collaborative approach, you might expect some slightly more unusual options in the list this year.
So what’s E3 Bingo? Well E3 kicks off on the 11th June running until the 13th. In that time you can expect press conferences (starting on the 10th) from the major publishers such as Sony, Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft. We have a list of options below that we reckon could happen during E3 in those conferences plus some miscellaneous ones too. This year we have an even bigger selection to choose from with a slight twist.
The different options have been given points roughly depending on what we think is their likelihood of happening. If the option is very likely to happen then it will only be worth one point. If it’s very unlikely, then it will be worth four points. This means you can be tactical with your voting. You can go a safe and easy route picking the most likely options or you can take a risk and choose an option that’s worth more points. It’s up to you. The list is already a couple of days old so there are already one or two options on there that eagle-eyed rumour-readers might have spotted as easy targets (or unintentional tricks!).
When we tally the winner, we’ll send them a new game of their choice (standard release, UK version – and it might be a few days after release to allow for postage!). We’ll also pick one complete entry at random and send them a similar prize. In addition, the winner will get a snazzy custom tag to go next to their name in the comments section. As always with our competitions, our decision is final (just in case some options are debatable) and our usual T&Cs apply.
The Rules
You must pick 12 options from the list below. Please don’t duplicate your choices, only the first instance will be counted. You must be a TSA member to enter and only your first entry will be accepted so be sure you’ve got them all filled in correctly before you hit submit. Your entry must be in by 11:59pm BST on Sunday 9th Juneany entries after this won’t be counted.

Will get to this later! :) Might just go for 12 dead certs tbh!

That’s curious. Has the “Selections xx-xx must occur on such and such” just been added? I don’t remember it being there before.
Puts some of the listings on a higher risk anyhow as a game can have equal chance of a debut on a console as it has from the publisher… I’d definitely call it Bingo.

Nope, they’ve been there the whole time.

My tiredness then. I have a feeling now that my one entry will be showed in Sony’s section instead of Ubisoft’s which could lose me some points. Though I feel pretty confident overall. *runs away*

Who will be judging the mental fitness of the man presenting the Ubisoft conference? I have 4 big ones riding on this! I’m hoping Mr. Caffeine has been heavily sedated…

Aisha Tyler’s returning. I love her in Archer and I completely believe her when she says she’s a real gamer but IMHO she was beyond abysmal last time. Probably just down to the script but if it’s the same writers this time it’ll probably be just as heinous.

I love a bit of TSA Bingo. #51 was my first choice, seems silly not to gamble on a garanteed win, especially since the rest of my choices are what I’d like to happen rather than whats probably going to happen :) X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, now that would be something.

I thank you for sharing in my insanity :-)

Cheers for setting it up! Always good fun, I went for boring choices mainly but went for completely mad rdr option. I still have the mad theory they will try to link the marathon family to the vercetti one or something ! :D

I always love E3 bingo, especially if there’s a prize to be won! I think I’ve mostly gone for relatively safe choices but we’ll see. My favourite one has to be 62, but it was too much of a risk to pick as one of my twelve!

Number 69 made me laugh, then I realised it was number 69 and I laughed again

Great competition for what might be the greatest E3 yet. Do you ship outside of the UK btw? I don’t care much for the prize, I just want to bask in the glory of being correctest. :-P

Submitted :) Love 62 but not sure it will happen!! As my guesses total 25 points, I hope that’s enough to win. Best start thinking of a custom tag…..

That’s about five times what I usually get, although this time I’ve actually picked what I think will happen instead of what I want to happen.

Great competition!
