New Zealand is a lovely place, full of lovely people - SPOnG has, in fact, never met a kiwi it didn't like. Peter Jackon's WETA studio is trying to add to the loveliness by offering the chance to ride around New Zealand, frightening the lovely people in a Halo 3 Warthog: a real one.

It's running a comp that offers the following:

* Return flight to New Zealand from the USA with Air New Zealand
* VIP tour of the Academy Award winning Weta Workshop and the new Weta Cave
* Ride in Weta's real life Warthog
* Try the guns and props Weta made for the Halo 3 short films
* A brand new Xbox 360, a Halo 3 game and bag full of Halo 3 merchandise
* FREE stay at the luxury boutique hotel Ohtel in Wellington
* Pilot a Boeing 777 flight simulator with instruction from a senior Air New Zealand pilot

You can see the full details over here.

Bear in mind that you've got to get your entry in by September 30th 2008 Pacific US time.
