And the Bioware countdown reveals... [UPDATE]

So Bioware's own countdown has come to a close. After a brief period of breakage, the dust from too much internet traffic finally cleared to reveal some kind of competition/auction.

Dubbed the 'Bioware Bazaar', this community event aims to show the company's appreciation for its fans by hosting a series of mock-auctions for over 400 items. You participate by collecting tokens earned through special challanges.

The first auction begins at 9 AM PST on Tuesday, April 6th, with new items being made available every 15 minutes, ending 4 PM PST Saturday, April 10th.

Update #1 - The competition seems to be for US residents only, according the rules page. A shame, because looking at the prize list, there's some decent stuff up for grabs.

Oh, and for the record, this is officially the most underwhelming countdown ever.
