Remember that clock that showed up on the Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 sites a few weeks ago? Well, now we know that it’s been counting down to  a little something called the Bioware Bazaar. If you login to social.bioware.com before April 10th, you’ll be given 1000 tokens that can be spent in the bazaar towards a slew of cool paraphernalia. Top prizes include Dragon Age and Mass Effect-branded PCs and Xbox 360s. You can see the full list of official rules and prizes here.

In order to get the good stuff, you’re going to have to hustle though . Vast amounts of additional tokens can be earned by staying tuned to Bioware’s Twitter for ‘Bazaar Challenges.’ These ask you questions like, “What was your most memorable experience playing a BioWare game?” or “What did Commander Shepard have for breakfast?”

There are 100 winners of each challenge and they each get an extra 500 tokens toward the auctions. I think it’s doubtful you could get any of the hardware without winning about 5 or more challenges or so. Challenges are currently about 9 questions deep, with 3 hours allowed for responses to each – so you should probably get to work.

Challenge Submission Judging. At or about 3 hours after the Challenge has ended, Sponsor or its designee, the Challenge Judges, whose decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Challenges, will independently evaluate and judge all eligible Submissions received on a per-Challenge basis and select in its sole and absolute discretion up to 100 Submissions that shall win the prize of 500 tokens. The Challenge Submission Judging shall be based upon the following criteria in the Judges’ sole and absolute discretion: 60% creativity, 20% appropriateness to topic, 20% skill and quality of the submission (i.e. grammar and writing skills). The Judges’ decisions for any particular Challenge are final and binding. PLEASE NOTE THAT, WHILE YOU MAY SUBMIT MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS NO MORE THAN ONE OF YOUR SUBMISSIONS WILL BE SELECTED AS A WINNER IN ANY CHALLENGE.

Auctions will begin April 6th at 9am PDT and proceed every 15 minutes after that. You can check out some additional ways to earn boo-ku Bazaar tokens below.

Good Luck!!
