Got your copy of Saints Row: The Third and want to win the very same Saints Row 3 headsets featured in the game?
Sweet. We have the perfect opportunity for you. Excited yet? You should be. We’re working together with our friends at the Destructoid Show to give away two SR3 A40 Wireless Systems.
It’s real easy. We just want to see your best video clip of doing some crazy stunt while wearing the A40 Headset on your character. To be eligible, you’d need to have the A40 Headset on your character as you’re doing the stunt. All you gotta do is go to the Planet Saints store and grab it. May the ‘Best Stunt’ win. Only available to the US, sorry guys.
Keep it up to or under 60 seconds and upload it to YouTube as a video response to this Destructoid Show’s video. You can take the video with your iPhone, smartphone, Flip camera, capture box, or whatever you want. So long as we can actually see you do a bad-ass stunt. (In case you don’t know how to upload a video response, click here!)
We’ll pick the best stunt video on 11/28 and it’ll actually air on the Destructoid Show. Pretty rad, right?
Don’t worry, you’ll have another chance the following week when we do the “Best Explosion” video for a shot to win an SR3 A40 Wireless System.
Ok, go for it. Official rules will be below.
