So I going to say part of the game is going to be in the form of Hanso Foundation Commercials played during LOST. It's an assumption on my part that this game will launch sometime during tonight’s episodes in England. The first one starts at 10pm there time 5pm our time (for me at least Eastern Standard). So I would expect some activity on http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/dharma.htmland I would not be surprised if some changes happen in the following sites:

http://www.oceanic-airlines.com/

http://www.oceanicairlines.com//

http://www.driveshaftband.com/index.html

A lot of these sites have been dormant for a while. The Driveshaft site has been completely down for a matter of weeks.

Finally, what I've been waiting for!!!

The forums on abc.com and the tailsection have got some great detailed information on the Hanso website and the english phone number.

Good stuff.

Will post this here too:

Yeah, last night in the season 2 premiere in Britain, that advert was shown twice in amongst the regular adverts. The number for it is 0800666640. Me and my friends phoned it twice today - the first time it said it was offline and gave us the website address and the second we got a load of "press 1 for..." and so on. One of the options was Alvar Hanso, so we went on that and some music got played. Guess what it was. Geronimo Jackson.

Unfortunately we didn't get time to go on any of the others.
