PC and console accessory make Razer launched a competition on Oct. 17, offering a Star Wars-themed version of its Blade laptop as the prize.

"This one of a kind Razer Blade has been custom designed from the ground up with laser etched, matte painted aluminum panels, a yellow backlit keyboard and the official font and iconography from Star Wars: The Old Republic. Each chassis of the Razer Blade is milled out of pure aluminum and packs the type of punch to battle your way through Star Wars: The Old Republic in an incredibly sleek and lightweight package, offering the perfect balance between performance and portability," reads Razer's competion Web site.

Four winners will also receive peripherals themed on the game, which include a headset, mouse, and keyboard. Entrants also receive a 20 percent discount on The Old Republic accessories along with free shipping on orders over $49.

The Razer Blade is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop with a 1920x1080 display. It features an Intel Core i7 processor, in either 2.8GHz or 3.2GHz forms. RAM is at 8GB with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 2GB DDR5 video card. Storage comes in the form of a 250GB solid state drive.

Razer Blade also comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, available at prices of either $2,299.99 or $2,499.99. Both versions are available now.

Entrants to the competition must be 18 or over and the giveaway is open to U.S. residents.

The giveaway may provide buzz around Start Wars: The Old Republic; BioWare's massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which is struggling to maintain subscribers partly because of World of Warcraft's legacy (with nine million subscribers, subscription MMOs are not a viable market). Consequently, the game is going free-to-play (F2P), currently up to level 15. BioWare released a chart comparing subscription and free users, revealing F2P users get access to Store Content from levels 1-50. The remaining features are limited.

The competition runs from Oct. 17 to Nov. 4, 2012 at midnight pacific summer time. The full terms and conditions are available at the competition page.
