 		checked the sourcecode for the javascript that controls the timer, it's counting down towards: May 12, 2005 20:00:00, which is of course when xbox360 makes it's appearance on MTV. i think there's even something more to the timer than that though.

 		Don't know about other people, but my clock has moved up to 5:30pm May 12th. MTV ad says 9:30pm pacific time. Has it always been 5:30? What's up with that?

 		The countdown timer on the webpage is determined by your PC's clock. Make sure you have the time set correctly.

Here is the code:
Quote:
//var td = new Date('May 12, 2005 20:00:00');
//var td = createUTCDate('March 15, 2005 00:00:00');
var td = new Date(Date.UTC(2005, 4, 13, 0, 30, 0));


The 20:00:00 (8pm) line is commented out. It now uses 12:30am of the 13th UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). For me (-7hours PDT), that is 5:30pm. East coast, that might be 8:30pm. Both earlier than the MTV release (9:30pm).

 		Purpose of coded words
I think that the decoded words make a sentence:

I'm leaning towards this compilation

I only see six dots. So if there is only 6 dots, do you think that they go with the "3" on the headlight of the Ferrari. Maybe leading to "360"?

 		The markings on the trees look like particle effects... I think the image is a screenshot from a game...

No, they're not. They're brand new screenshots from a new XB360 game.

Nope, the poppy picture was an actual photo. We've even found the original it was taken from (http://www.freefoto.com/preview.jsp?id=15-35-43 ).

This new reward appears computer generated.
