Starting this weekend (Nov. 14), Intel’s Game On crew will travel to select Fry’s Electronics stores to demo The Saboteur (unreleased) and The Sims 3 while giving away tons of Core i7 CPUs, gaming desktops and laptops, and more – to people on Santa’s nice list, of course. I thought you and your readers would appreciate the heads up, after all, we can’t give anything away if nobody is there.

To participate, shoppers can visit the Intel kiosk at Fry’s Electronics stores on scheduled dates from noon to 5 p.m. to receive a game card. The card can then be scanned at the kiosk to redeem one of the hundreds of instant prizes. Shoppers can also enter sweepstakes to win a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6992 laptop and Velocity Micro Edge Z30 desktop. Intel will be giving away 10 Core i7 CPUs, one Toshiba laptop, one Velocity Micro desktop and more, per city.
