SSx Blur ships today, EA holds party at the Ice Hotel

EA Sports BIG would like to inform everyone that SSX Blur has finally shipped to North American retailers today with a price tag of of US$ 49.99. Enough said? Not really because the cool part is this: Electronic Art’s celebration at the Ice Hotel.

It is located in Quebec and like its name implies, the Ice Hotel was completely made out of snow and ice. Its interior is surrounded by four-foot thick snow walls and a variety of ice-carved objects can be found there as well: ice couches, ice slides, ice shot glasses, and ice mattresses.

The event was attended by various journalists, all wearing multiple layers of clothing of course, trying to keep themselves warm. EA, on the other hand, put up a number of Wii kiosks so that guest can get their hands on the snowboarding game.

We would have loved to have been there. Oh well. Maybe in Marioland when Super Mario Galaxy finally comes out. Lastly, SSX Blur will be available in Europe on March 9.
