Very interesting idea, however I doubt i'll be quick enough to grab me a code.
I will most likely end up buying it anyway 
.
Why is it a mutant pack? I thought the name of the origin type in question was "mutation"?

Am I missing something, or am I just paranoid again (dang I must keep remembering to take my meds :P ) So what are they gonna do with those lonely 2 codes?

I'd rather pay double for my Mutation Pack than have to follow something on Facebook or Twitter. 
Dec out.
Oh i see thanks for clearing that up for me Kung Ru.

For my part, I'm not complaining about the inconvenience. They can have all the inconvenient little contests they like. But they should have the good grace to call them contests when people are contesting for a prize, rather than misleadingly calling them giveaways.

And some people will quietly accept every bit of nonsense that's thrown their way. Of course, if they can't even tell the difference between a posessive pronoun and a contraction it's possible they just don't notice the nonsense for what it is.|

But, no, I'm not really upset. It's a minor irritation at best, like an itch, and it's as easy to make a complaint as it is to scratch an itch (sometimes even easier, depending on the location).

Call it whatever you want, it still doesn't change the fact that they're giving the stuff for free to anyone who gets to it first.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I know that my finances aren't so bad that I have to stress over $10. I'll just pick it up on Thursday.

I have to agree with Decorum here. Except that I would be willing to chew my own foot off to avoid facebook and twitter or any of their dopplegangers out there on the web.

Dumb promotion idea.
Let me guess marketing came up with this idea listening to some top 40 radio with listen now for the secret phrase that pays, then be the tenth caller after song "X" plays.
I'll just buy the pack like always.
Well this sucks, Wednesdays, I leave my house at 7am pac & don't get home till like 5pm for work.

I delete more 50s, then you'll ever have.

- each entrant would have to include a legal release statement,
- some countries would be unable to enter due to marketing exclusivity rights or prize-claiming regulations or just plain funky IP issues, and
- they'd have to assign a staff member to sort through all the entries (removing all those ineligible for the above reasons) and select the winners.
- they post several valid codes, and
- people can start using them immediately.
In any case, good luck to those who try to snag one!
I loving all the moaners post here haha
if you dont like it dont try to grab a code then jeeez and let those who want a chance try for a code.
I never have any luck with these types of giveaways. I'm going to stop risking getting fired now, I know my network admin must have a few pages full of my refreshing the forums as well as Facebook page. Good luck to everyone else.
Maybe in the future you should try randomly emailing 10 current subscribers from NA and EU?

I was wondering, what is the Username on Twitter that I should be following for this giveaway? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

NOT TO BE A TROLL... I don't see the awesome gleam on this Booster Pack...
I think if they wanted to do this it should be in game or on a weekend when people arent working. I am not sitting by my comp all day and looking at facebook.

working...can they just do this on a weekend? Its too difficult to get a free one and I dont feel this set is strong enough for me to buy.
