An amazing new sponsor: Sony INZONE!

Exciting news, gamers! Get ready to level up your gaming experience because PDXLAN has an awesome new sponsor – Sony INZONE! And guess what? You can check out their entire gaming gear lineup at the Sony INZONE booth during the event like their amazing monitors and headsets!

Hold on to your seats because here’s the real kicker (per Vector!) – did you know that both the M3 and M9 INZONE monitors have a KVM switch built into it?! That’s right! You can now control your gaming computer and your secondary streaming/work PC with the same peripherals! How amazing is that?! It’s fricken awesome!

There’s more! Sony INZONE is feeling extra generous and will be giving away two M9 monitors with a $899.99 MSRP in the charity raffle, and one M3 monitor ($529.99 MSRP) in the general raffle! They will also be giving away seven headsets through the Pop-Darts contest and general raffle! PDXLAN is your chance to experience the greatness of Sony INZONE products for yourself!

Quake Tournament will be Quake Live ($2.99 on steam now!)

At PDXLAN 1 back in 2003 we hosted a Quake 3 Arena tournament. We wanted to remain true to that but after much tinkering, we find it is best for the tournament game play and server stability to change this to Quake Live.   

We wanted to remain true to the original, and we did not make this decision lightly, but it really does help solve a lot of things. 

Now, in order to stay true to our word (It’s important to us) we will still 100% sponsor a quake 3 Arena tournament if there are at least 16 players that want to play it at the event, but it will need to be attendee managed and run. (Come see Vector when you have 16 signed up)

Now, for theQuake Live tournament, if you don’t own this game, the steam sales has it for $2.99 right now! Go grab it and seriously update the in game graphics over the original Q3. 

See you all at the LAN! 

Easter Egg. Because why not.
