Mountain Dew® Fans Have a "Mega Fan Experience"

Mountain Dew Sweepstakes Gave Four Fans a Chance to Play Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 on Massive Screen at Cowboys Stadium

PURCHASE, N.Y., Dec. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As its cross-promotion with Call of Duty(®): Modern Warfare(® )3 enjoys unprecedented success, Mountain Dew(®) (DEW) rewarded one lucky fan with a once in a lifetime gaming experience yesterday: an evening of uninterrupted game play on a gigantic stadium screen in Arlington, TX. As part of its "Mega Fan Experience Sweepstakes," Brandon Ervin of Wyoming, Minn. and three friends played the new game on the Diamond Vision(TM) Board at Cowboys Stadium - one of the world's largest HD screens - with the entire NFL arena to themselves.

The "Mega Fan Experience Sweepstakes" was created to celebrate the return of Mtn Dew Game Fuel(®) and release of Modern Warfare(®) 3. In early November, fans were able to enter to win the "Mega Fan Experience" grand prize by visiting a dedicated tab on the DEW Facebook page.

The sweepstakes is part of the DEW and Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), "Rank Up Your Game with Double XP" promotion, which offers fans the chance to earn double experience points (Double XP) in Modern Warfare 3 with the purchase of specially marked Mountain Dew products.

"With more than 1.4 million fans participating, the 'Rank Up Your Game' promotion is on track to be the most successful under-the-cap DEW program to date, a testament to the passion of both Mountain Dew and Call of Duty fans," said Brett O'Brien, vice president marketing, Mountain Dew. "We're thrilled to have commemorated this incredible cross-promotion with Call of Duty by rewarding these DEW mega fans."
