We're giving away a copy of The Bourne Conspiracy for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3.  Two winners, one for each platform, will walk away from this contest with a copy of the game, which features one of America's favorite amnesiacs dishing out vengeful justice.  

The Bourne Conspiracy utilizes quick time events, so we want to know:  Where in your life would you like a Quick Time event?  Keep it reasonably clean in your comments, but you'll have to answer that question, and tell us which platform you're entering for, in your reply to this thread.  Otherwise, you won't be eligible.

As always, you'll want to read our contest rules before entering to make sure you're eligible to enter.  And unfortunately, this contest is only for residents of the United States.  This contest ends on Wednesday, July 30th at 3pm Pacific time, so don't wait to get your entries in.

Good luck!

I would like it whenever I accidentally choose the 360 over my girlfriend. That would help. I'd play it on the PS3.

Well since the way it usually works is if you do it correctly it pull off an amazing move and if you fail you get hurt and you want us to keep it reasonably clean I would use it on the basketball court. If I nail the combo everyone is in awe when the 5'6 white boy dunks from behind the 3 point line. If I fail well the 5'6 white boy looks like a 5'6 white boy playing basketball. My other answer would be in the bedroom but I'm worried what happens if you fail? All the sudden your best friend is with your girlfriend? I'm like the 360 Copy.

If I had to have quicktime events in my life I'd like them when I'm talking to people I dislike. It'd be really helpful when I don't care what their saying. I'd just shout "A,A,B,Right trigger" and if I nailed it they would be happy. That would be great

Oops, I'd like the PS3 copy.

My quicktime event would occur while I do my paper route. I can dodge kids, dogs, and traffic all while still being able to deliver the newspaper. I'd like the 360 copy please.

A cool quick time event would be to play in a band at a talent show. If I messed up the combo, the crowd would boo us off the stage. That would be awesome. PS3 please. You guys are awesome!

geeksandotaku said:

A really practical quick time event would be speeding at 70 MPH on the highway while just avoiding traffic. I'd like the PS3 version.

I'd like QT Events not for myself, but for my kids. Y/Triangle for Meal Time. B/O for Bath Time. A/X for Diaper changing for my son and X/Square for Bedtime. Oh and should I be a winner, I'll take whichever copy the other winner doesn't want.

DonTran said:

I'd program my QTE kind of like Ghost Squad. A burglar tries to come in, and bam! triangle circle square! He's on the ground. I'd like to PS3 version. Also:^You have to specify exactly your console or it won't be eligible.

July 23, 2008

KhoiBoy said:

Kind of stupid, but defusing a bomb on the SWAT squad would be cool. You know, forget to press a button, and kaboom! Sudden death. Oh, and PS3 for me.

dpokeman2 said:

Hmm... Hard question. I'd say salsa dancing. That would be fun to do in quick time. I have a PS3.

July 23, 2008

samuseliteb said:

Man, there are so many things I'd like to do if I could play in quick time. I'd probably button mash to ask out a girl. That would be kind of funny, like messing up would get a slap in the face. Haha. Like many people, I'd also like the PS3 version.

July 23, 2008

shigerufanboy said:

Easy, I would make a rube goldberg machine with dominoes. Imagine spending a month to make it, then accidently tip over a domino. LOL. I choose the PS3 version. Also, do people really have more PS3s than XBoxs?

July 23, 2008

flynlyon03 said:

I can think of one really cool idea for quicktime: ollieing then landing in a rail grind. Could I have the PS3 version? and to shigerfanboy: yea, according to this giveaway, more users have a PS3. Lucky XBoxers! you have more of a chance of winning.

July 23, 2008

FatalFrameFan41 said:

I'd use it to clean my room. square for vacuuming, circle for mopping, triangle for cleaning windows, and x for cleaning the closet. PS3 for me please.

BigBrother said:

I could definitely use a Quick Time Event when I'm in my office supposed to be working (but I'm actually browsing through the news on TalkingAboutGames.com) and my boss walks around the corner and see's my monitor. The Quick Time Event would give me just enough time to switch to my work e-mail and seem like I had been working the whole time. Platform of choice is 360!!

jazzyfras said:

Awesome contest guys! I'd use it in football. If I win, touchdown, but if i fail, I get sacked. Really hard. Hehe. I'd like the PS3 version. Man I wish I had the XBox 360, it looks like it would be so easy to score.

July 23, 2008

bugsbunnyluvr said:

I would use it during school, while dozing on a test. I would slow down time, and look at the other guy's paper. Just as the teacher comes, I would scribble down all my answers. I have both the PS3 and XBox 360, but I'd like the XBox version. I have a 25% chance of winning.

combatpops said:

After a night from the bar, I would be creeping home at 5 in the morning. I could use the quicktime sleep on the couch, like nothing ever happened. If I failed, I would wake up the kid and get a stern lecture from the wife. Sounds good. If I win, I'd like the PS3 version.

July 23, 2008

LilAnt 32 said:

I think I would have to use my quicktime event while shopping with the wife. "X", "Y", "B", "A", "LT", "RT", "LB" and "RB" would all be mapped to "Of course, those jeans don't make you look fat". And the "Dashboard" button would be mapped to "Escape to the car." for that one in a million time that I accidentally hit the direction pad and errantly say "You're damn skippy, they do!!!" Yeah, the 360 version one will do just fine.

Bionic92 said:

I would use the quick time event in a round of golf. If I nail the combo then I nail the ball right on to the green. If I fail then I slice the ball right into a sand-trap/water-hazard and have my friends laugh at me. Xbox 360

July 23, 2008

combatpops said:

When I go out to the bar, there are so many times I would like to use quicktime. As I unlock the door, the quicktime would start. Sneak quietly and sleep on the couch or wake up the kid and get a lecture from the wife. My son can't play it yet, but I'll take the PS3 version. It's times like these that makes me want to get and XBox 360. Haha.

July 23, 2008

gaytarqueero said:

What would I do with quicktime? I'd get a basketball, dribble it under my friend's legs, run past him, shoeshine the guy in front of me, then as I'm coming up, I would slam dunk that thing like a fat kids loves cake. If I failed though, I would just miss the shot. Even if I failed, it wouldn't be so bad. I'll have the PS3 version please.

July 23, 2008

I would lIke it when explaining to my girlfriend where i was at 2 in the morning. I'd like to win for the 360 please.

July 23, 2008

PunKz said:

I'd like a QTE while I'm at work, that way I could get paid for just hitting the buttons at the appropriate times. I would require far less effort of me. 360 version please.

Culex said:

My QTE would have to be while talking to my girlfriend. I'd love to be able to just quickly hit the right button, and have a successful response come out of my mouth. Entering for the 360 version.

July 24, 2008

AVAPlus74 said:

I would like to use QTE explaining to my friends where I was yesterday. I good answer would be at the Movies, and the bad answer would be taking my little sister to Chuck E. Cheese's. I'd like the PS3.

July 24, 2008

LuceScrew said:

I could use QTE when dealing with my 13 year old daughter who never stops talking about irrelevant topics and drives me completely insane...(B) Beat your head against the table until you go numb (Y) ask yourself why you decided to have children (A) Tell her she's grounded from watching Gilmore Girls (X) Skip to the next day and hope it doesn't repeat XBox 360

Since I'm still in college I would love a QTE for test-taking. Just think about it: What is average annual rainfall of the amazon basin? Y-Left-B-Left Trigger Ya thats right 80 inches per year.

Grif said:

I would like a quick time event for switching out games. I have a very large TV so the chairs are on the other side of the room. Maybe with this I would have the tray eject and me through a game through the air bouncing the other disc out and into its case and doing it with such force the tray would feel like it is being pushed and close itself. I'm like Natalie, I don't like changing out games. And this is off topic but the fact that we can't completely install games on the 360 and never need the disc is a bit of a bummer, but at least we can reduce load times! And if you haven't figured out, I have a 360.

furio311 said:

With my 14 month old daughter recently sick and having some loose stools, I figured I would want a diaper changing quick time event. Tap a to take pants/shorts and shoes off. Tap X to take in a large breath to hold for the next couple of minutes. Tap Y to quickly grab her fidgeting legs and pull them up and remove the diaper. A quick Y tap again to remain holding onto the legs, and then a Tap X to grab a warm moist wipe to begin cleanup in the diasaster zone. Another Y tap will generate the old diaper being tossed into the diaper genie, and a new diaper being placed on and finally the X tap to put the shoes, and shorts/pants back on. Failure of any of these button taps will result in either the baby falling off the changing table with your wife moving in for the kill or Poo on either your hands, clothes, or all over your baby. Either way it is a mission failure. I would like a copy of the 360 version please.

nateous said:

Since i can never seem to get to work on time, i would like a QTE to wake up earlier. Alarm goes off (cue slo-mo sound to start QTE) (A) startled, eyes open up, rapidly pressing (Y) i reach for the alarm clock, (X) get up (read fall out of bed) and finally (B) walk to the bathroom to go take a shower. Any missed cues, I simply roll over, place the pillow over my head and await then inevitable pink slip I can haz 360 pleez?

July 24, 2008

Halolovert said:

Dude, QTE would be perfect when I'm at home play video games when my mom asks what I've been doing. I'd say, studying all day! I have both PS3 and XBOX, but I already have the game. So I'll take the PS3 version for my girlfriend.

July 24, 2008

geezeebeezee said:

This one time, I forgot my marriage aniversary. It would've been awesome to use it then. Triangle would be mapped to getting home on time, square would be mapped to a kiss, circle would be mapped to chocolates, and x would be mapped to dinner. If I failed, I would get home late, get slapped instead of a kiss, forget the chocolates, and stay home for the day. Haha. It's either good or bad right? I have a PS3. So I'd like that.

July 24, 2008

flynlyon03 said:

QTE would be cool when I'm washing the car, or when I'm painting the house. PS3 version please.

July 24, 2008

vampireweekend12 said:

Easy. I would use it when playing God of War. Haha! If I failed, then I would mess up in real life, messing up in the game. Hehe. Does that make sense? Obivously since I have God of War, I'll take the PS3 version please. Hope I win.

If I could get a few buttons to blast through my work day in 3 seconds, that'd be great. I'd like it on the 360

bulldozamendoza35 said:

Whenever I go on a date with my girlfriend, I could use quick time. Like when she asks me how she looks, x would be mapped to "Looks yummy!" When she ask if her dress makes her look fat, square would be mapped to "Of course not sweetie." Then triangle and circle would be mapped to paying the tip and driving her home. If I messed up though, I'd be like " Damn! Who drove a van in the restaurant?!" Haha. PS3 please.

July 25, 2008

Cannon Fodder06 said:

I'd definately have to use it at night - balance dealing with the kids, spend time with my wife and still try to grab some time on the Xbox360 before heading to bed for 6 hours before I have to get up for work.

July 25, 2008

pray4par said:

I would love to use a QTE at work. When you work in an "Office Space" type environment, the ability to switch into quick time during some of the brain-numbing meetings I attend would preserve my sanity. Would love this for the 360

July 25, 2008

Uncle Sillsnort said:

Just went to an amusement park yesterday... It would have been great to have one at each ride. If you get it correct - go to the front of the line, get it wrong - wait with everyone else... I'd like the 360 version.

Vietdynasty30 said:

This one time for the 5th grade talent show, I played a Beatles song on the guitar. Needless to say, I failed miserably. If I could do it again, I would use quick time events just for that moment. I wouldn't play the guitar like Guitar Hero or Rockband, but more like God of War's quick time events. If I win, PS3 please.

July 25, 2008

Jabbaknokees said:

It would be useful when I'm out walking the dog. PS3 version please.

I would love a quick time event for every time my dog barfs on the floor and i have to clean it up. (And believe me, that happens quite a bit to me) If I win, I would love the Xbox 360 version please!
