The schwag of Penny Arcade Expo includes an eclectic mix of PAX-themed giveaways and buyables. My favourite among the offerings though are these three PAX-wrapped consoles.
A blue, black and grey PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 will go to the winner and runner-up of this year’s Omegathon, with the winner also landing themselves a trip to the Tokyo Game Show.
