Yes. Space.
According to an article by USA Today, BioWare's parent company Electronic Arts will send copies of the game into space using weather balloons. The balloons will take off from San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York City, London, Paris and Berlin. Each package is embedded with a GPS tracking device that will report to waiting users via the game's website. The lucky few who find these traveling copies after they've touched down onto safe Earth soil will be able to play the game before its release on March 6. Further details remain murky, including exactly when the contest will take place and whether the copies have already been launched from orbit, but BioWare reps told Mashable that more information about the contest will be released at a later date.
Until then, you can get your futuristic fix with the already released playable demo of the game that's available on digital download for PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Mass Effect 3 is the final climactic piece of the Mass Effect series and boasts newly integrated mulitplayer action as well as Kinect functionality. Buzz for the game has been building since its first teaser debuted in June at E3, and pre-order is available on Amazon.
