Xbox 360 PS3

Electronic Arts sent us 40 (20 for PS3, 20 for 360) codes allowing to download and play the demo version of Battlefield: Bad Company right now instead of having to wait until June 5 for the official release. To have a chance to get one, please come back at 9 PM (CET) and post a comment in the new news article that will appear right at that time on the front page with a funny picture and the console version of your choice. The first 20 for each console will get a code.

To post an image in the comments, use: [*img]link[/img*] without the *.

Also, pick the the version you want, and not "I can take either PS3 or X360". Pick one platform.

Edit after major confusion:
This should be the time for every major city:

This is some heavy shit, but:
GMT is actually UTC, where BST (British summer time) is UTC+1. CET is actually UTC+1 too, but as it's now summer we're not in CET but in CEST, which is UTC+2.

Meaning, I (Central Europe) watch Premier League games on saturdays at 4 PM, while the UK watches it at 3 PM. But then they decided to move the summertime setting date, which made it all even more dumb.

Remember that you have to post that in the next news article to get the demo, if you missed that let a friend translate it to you so you don't miss out.

A separate news article, just like when new images/new trailer is posted.
