Use the Force to Keep Playing
N-Gage reaches out to online gamers in their hour of need.
With Microsoft’s Xbox Live service receiving routine maintenance on Monday, September 29, over 12 million subscribers may need to leave their consoles and interact with society. One company is doing its part to help New York City and Chicago area gamers in their natural habitat.
Nokia, Inc., the world’s largest mobile device manufacturer and home to N-Gage, invites gamers to their flagship stores in New York City and Chicago to get their online gaming fix. N-Gage experts will be on-hand to help — or challenge — willing customers. Nokia is also giving away free access codes to its newest game — Star Warsâ„¢ The Force Unleashedâ„¢. This hotly anticipated title brings the Star Wars world right to Nokia handsets so that gamers can take the game with them wherever they go — however “far, far away” from their consoles they venture. And by creating a Player Name in the free N-Gage Arena, gamers can challenge their friends (or complete strangers) over the N-Gage network.
Gamers who want to take Nokia up on this offer only need to walk into Nokia Flagship stores in New York and Chicago on Monday September 29, 2008 during store hours and ask for the free Star Wars The Force Unleashed game for N-Gage. In doing so, they will also receive a 15% discount on any available N-Gage-compatible Nokia device. These devices include the Nokia N95*, Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N81, Nokia N81 8GB and Nokia N82.
* denotes Nokia N95 in black or bronze. Red Nokia N95 not eligible for promotion.
