The grand prize winner will be the gamer who has the best combined score from playing three different consoles – the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, and the Wii. The triple threat competition will be played on the next gen systems to promote the newer technology for customers to experience and therefore encourage trades to lower the cost of these new systems.

Winners of the individual console game competition will each receive a $100 in-store credit. Prizes for all tournament contestants will be awarded, including T-shirts, swag bags and much more.
