Yesterday we speculated over one of the mysterious notes from the BioShock 2 website Something in the Sea which indicated an event which would take place at ten beaches around th world at specified times. Curious, some folks showed up at Bondi Beach in Australia today and found what you see in the pictures above - buried wine bottles waiting for them in the sand!
Within the bottles (which were marked "Acadia") were three promotional posters for Rapture (see gallery), including ads for two plasmids: Electrobolt and Decoy. All I can say is ... wow. I'm impressed with the BioShock 2 PR team more than I thought Iever could be. Hats off, guys --keep it up at this rate and you'll have more people frothing at the mouth to buy the game when it comes out then you ever could have hoped for!

Amazing reference!
I think this was a pretty neat PR stunt, but not "amazing". I'm surprised no ones done this before. It's certainly a lot better than Resident Evil's.
I seriously don't get the plasmids, the Electro Bolt and Decoy were from the first one, nothing new.
If only.
Its the biggest beach down here....by biggest, I mean most over populated and crowded beach in summer....
Six a.m. rolls around. We don't see anything. The magical moment arrives. Still nothing. Most of the folks in the group seem to know what it is we're looking for, so it's not like we're waiting for the Dallas Cheerleaders to come leaping out of the waves--we're actively scanning the beach for bottles. It gets to be half past six--still nothing.
Then somebody gets a tip-off from a passing jogger that there's a bunch of bottles about A MILE down the beach, next to the Santa Monica pier. The group, which has swelled to a herd of well over a hundred people, goes stampeding across the sand.
I ran for a while, but it was too far for me, and I was already at the far end of the pack when I started. By the time I wheeze my way over the spot in question, the bottles are long gone. I'm convinced that whomever drew the short lot over at 2K Games got to the location late, saw the crowd already assembled at the coordinates, and thought, "Eff that noise--I'll just dump 'em way over here...!" I felt like a real schmuck having gotten there before 90% of the folks who left with bottles. Seriously, I probably would have had better luck sauntering in at 6:30...
If I'd known this thing was going to play out like it had, I wouldn't have gotten up so damn early. Kudos to that guy from Naughty Dog Games who was handing out codes for character skins and free copies of Uncharted, though; my girlfriend got one of the games, so the morning wasn't a total wash.
