TSA E3 Bingo 2013 Results

2013’s E3 was arguably the biggest yet, and with new consoles and fantastic games on show it was hardly surprising. This year saw over 160 of you enter TSA’s E3 Bingo Competition, which was fantastic to see too. The conferences had quite a few surprises, and a lot of the games we thought would be demoed at the publisher conferences were actually shown off during the console maker’s shows. This really messed up some people’s choices (especially mine!), while it allowed other people to get ahead.

Just in case you’ve forgotten, for this years’ Bingo we introduced a new points system in an attempt to mix things up a bit and reward those of you that chose the riskier options (providing those options were right!). The winner would be the one would had the most points, not necessarily the most correct choices. That winner would then be able to choose a game of his or her choice, however it has to be the UK standard edition, so unfortunately they won’t be driving away in the £125,000 BAC Mono Supercar from Grid 2’s Special Edition! We also said we would be picking another winner at random.

There were 88 options for you to choose from, so let’s take a look at what came up, and remember that their points are shown in brackets:

As always, we’ve separated the TSA Staff and Community Team’s choices, so you can compare how well you did against us:

As you can see, there was quite a range amongst the scores, with 3 of the staff members that actually went to E3 in the bottom 4! Jim came top out of the staff members, with a total of 11 points.

Moving on now to what you’ve all been waiting for, here are the people in the top 3:

So, congratulations are in order to FriendlyFiend, who won with a grand total of 13 points! It was actually pretty close, especially at the top, where every point mattered.

We also mentioned that we’d be picking another winner at random, and that winner is RyanMartin1991! Both winners have been contacted and we’ll arrange to get your games to you as soon as we can! If you want to see the full table of results then you can find them over on page 2.

And that wraps up TSA’s E3 Bingo for 2013, hopefully you’ll all be joining us again next year, only another 11 months to go!
