At stake: A customized 60GB PLAYSTATION 3. It was laser-etched during the Super Bowl at a celeb party Sony held. What's more, we are throwing in copies of Ridge Racer 7, Call of Duty 3, Madden 07 and Fight Night Round 3.

The contest is based on Crecente's sadistic treasure hunts. Long-time readers will know what we're talking about. Basically, we give you a clue about a post we've done, and then y'all must go find it. If you find the correct post, there will be another clue, which you'll need to track down. And so on. This contest will have five questions, or "Missions" as I call them. The contest ends Friday March 30 at midnight EST. Send all your answers with links to kotakucontest@gmail.com with the word contest in the subject line. The winner will be randomly selected from the correct entries and announced the following Monday. Be sure to take a look at our rules. Anyone who posts answers on Kotaku or anywhere on the internet will be banned and made an example of. Here's your first mission:

Mission #1: The PS3 launch reached new levels of nutso. Save for one. One store's was just plain boring. Well, which one was it?

Man, I don't know which is harder: Making these contests or doing them. I tried to make the questions DIFFICULT. That means that fewer of you will actually be able to finish it. But those who take the time to do so will have better odds at winning. Good luck! Brian Ashcraft
