[TRAILHEAD] Crackdown 2 - xbox 360

Go to http://www.amazon.com/Crackdown-2-Xbox-360/dp/B002BRZ8BQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1274385469&sr=8-1

and watch the entire video (in case the link doesn't work, its the Nothing is Sacred Crackdown 2 video) - at the end there is a barcode type image that flashes - with a url - http://gettag.mobi - used that on my windows mobile phone and it took me to a webpage where I could sign up for txt message clues to collect Orbs.

Got a txt message from the game today - "Agent, here is your new clue: There is a video in the Amazon"

which i assume is a clue for this very video..but I could be wrong. this may not be a full fledged ARG

Interesting... I signed up and nabbed screen shots. iPhone users need to download MS's beta tagreader app (free, it's linked by the gettag.mobi page) and the tag is decoded to the signup page. attached what I've captured

Definitely looks more like a contest, tag hunt for prizes perhaps. hvaen't looked into any further...

Orb 5

Greetings, I found orb 5 of 5 on accident:


http://www.gamestop.com/gs/weeklyad/current/052110/pdf/olfsi_052110.pdf

I didn't know what this was, but maybe we can see if we can find all of them?

I got this today also, and cant figure it out yet. Got the amazon one, stumbled onto the gamestop one when I got the ad today. All I know is this has something to do with twitter. Not sure what the holy prop would be. Anyone have any other ideas?

Orbs

I found an alternate method for this - testing now and will reply with all links if it has any fruitful results.

Someone on another forum said it's an anagram.

Then there's this clue: "Agent, here's your new clue: HQ is found at 36.372854,-94.208817"

EDIT: That leads to the home of Wal-Mart which leads to their site which has the code http://see.walmart.com/gamecenter/

that's 1,2 and 5 down with 3 and 4 left.

The ad (Toys R Us) usually comes out on Sundays, so we'd have to wait until then. I already checked their website, and they still have the one that came out last Sunday up.

I got a clue that I will have to wait for June 1st.

Looking @ the BestBuy Gaming Insider Mag, it runs from May 1 - May 30.
Toys R us is next (with reports that it comes tomorrow), leaving BestBuy as the last one to appear June 1st.

Someome posted on another forum I'm reading that the Toys R Us tag is in the store itself and is a window cling hung on the digital camera case. I'm not buying it. All of the other ones we have found so far have been on websites (Amazon, WalMart, Gamestop) and all of them had the code either integrated into the page with crackdown, at the end of a crackdown video from the page, or in gamestops case, in the weekly ad right under the crackdown 2 picture available for preorder...so, I dont know if I believe what that person is saying.
