EDIT: Its actually 6 copies

I think this should be in the Gamerz section, but its news so what the hell.

...a select intrepid few will have the opportunity to play the full game before it hits stores. Publisher Electronic Arts will be launching copies of the game into space using weather balloons that will be released in New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Berlin, London and Paris.

Each game has a GPS tracking device onboard and fans can track their return to the Earth on masseffect.com to find a copy and play it a week or more before the game hits stores. (Might not be a bad idea to follow @MassEffect, either.)

Yup, something finally new.

What if it lands on a river or a lake? Would the fanboys go swimming (or diving) for it?

Though i am not a fan of these series but will surely go to any of these places New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Berlin, London or Paris to get a copy.
