There is a new promotional minigame avaible at Verizon.com called Prometheus Mission Connect. You can enter for a chance to win a trip to London & visit the Pinewood studios where Prometheus was filmed as well as unlock exclusive movie content if you play it. Fans at AvPGalaxy have been able to dig up some of that new content already. Make sure to check it below! More here.

Update: Another batch of images from the app showing the interiors of the Prometheus ship can be found here at our forums. You can check out some of them below:

One problem.. You forgot to factor in the inertial dampeners. No need to bolt anything down.
Don't be silly. The elves, unicorns and pixie dust do not physically hold objects to the floor...they create the magical field that permeates the ship, creating the artificial gravity. Geez, everyone knows this.
But what powers the Prometheus engines, you ask?
Spoiler
At least the dipping bird didn't seem to mind the long travelling.
But what really makes me wonder is the captains wheel on the Prometheus.
How do they get the elves, unicorns and pixie dust underneath a standing captain on a glass-bottom bridge?
Oh, and this came to my mind:

A brief note on the set pic...
I realize it is a pretty standard conceit, within sci-fi films, that futuristic spacecraft have magical anti-gravity systems (powered by elves, unicorns and pixie dust, most likely). However, the Prometheus designers might have given some thought to having the furnishings physically bolted down. Call me crazy, but I understand this is even done on most scientific and military ocean vessels
However, most cruise ships do not subscribe to this long standing tradition...and choose to be rebels of the sea:

Scott is fed up with "grungy" Si-fi as he call it.
The average audience (the main target) has no taste for old school designs.
Now the whole "this is the best money can buy spaceship" angle works for me.
As long as the designs look good to me.
Those ikea table and that suite are a bit laughable.
Hope it will work in context.
I love how the front/top of the ship has a shape similar to the design of the Narcissus.
This ship itself has Ron Cobb written all over it
I imagine the universe of Alien/Prometheus is as diverse (if not, more so) as our universe is here in real-life. That said, it'd be kind of unrealistic for a mission like the Prometheus' to use the crusty technology you see in Alien.
Could you help me out? I live in the UK but the registration only accepts USA details! What can I enter for an address/post code and phone number to fool the system?
I wish that the people who design these websites would get a f**king clue. Guess what? WE DON'T ALL LIVE IN AMERICA! Jeez.
Finished the game, not a lot to do except find 2 words GENESIS and APOCALYPSE, also if you turn the power off to absolutely everything, a clue appears in the vault but I still dont know what to do with it lol. Anyway one of those words (above) is very well hidden and both I suspect to do with Weyland, speaking of which, the answer to the question to complete the game appears to be anything with his name in it... at least thats what I think!
In fairness, it's one thing to differ from technology represented aboard an old tug and quite another to differ from that used on Gateway Station - and used at an apparently state-of-the-art hearing by Weyland-Yutani, themselves.
If nothing else, they should have tried to use similar types of font and wireframe-type graphics.
I can gloss over things like Burke's intercom being relatively low-resolution, because who knows how small the camera was on the other end? Likewise for the Marines' cameras. Maybe stuff like that was because of some new way to extend battery life.
But nobody was ever shown making mass use of things like holographic displays, even on the Auriga.
A few updated touches, here and there, are nice. Trying to sell something which is so radically different, wholesale, as being cost-effective enough to install on a spaceship like this, sent far, far away, but not closer to home many decades/centuries later? Even on what are clearly much later military vessels? It can be done, but it's going to make the previous films look really jarring when seen as a single continuity.
It's like they didn't even make an effort to try and stay relatively in line with the very reality they're meant to be working within and just went, "F**k it, let's out-do 'Minority Report'."
It's their choice! But it's going to make the very foundation upon which it's built seem strange. The more I see of this production, the more I get the feeling it's going to come across like something they should have just given up trying to link in any way with the franchise, rather than using it as an excuse to faff around with the Space Jockey mystery. Would've given them complete artistic and canonical licence to do the story however they want, then. It's not as if a completely new science-fiction project by this director wouldn't have sold just as well. Or just gone ahead and made it a futuristic sequel, rather than confining themselves in the historical precedent of a prequel prison.
Not judging the film's quality in any way. I still hope to enjoy what there is. Just lamenting apparently missed opportunities.
Pretty sure the tables would be bolted down, or if not kept in storage during flight maneuvers, FTL jumps etc. They have a butler on the ship after all.
The only thing that bothers me is the furniture not being attached to the ship, i mean those are Ikea tables and chair, can you imagine what happen to the mess hall glass table when the ship navigate a bit rough...
Won't be important in the movie but its kinda throw me back design wise.
I would expect the monitor inside the cocktail table to resemble something a little less high-tech. Alien used simple, green-screen monitors that looked like they were from the 1980's and it takes place after Prometheus. The cocktail table should resemble something more like this...

Ridley seems to have a thing for turtles.
At the same time I'm getting a little nervous they might go overboard with the marketing. Look how many images we've seen from the film already. We've had the teaser trailer, the full trailer, the Wondercon/IMAX trailer and then all the viral marketing. It's a good sign they're so invested in this film but I want to feel surprised by the time Prometheus comes out.
Spoiler
- We know that Vickers is keeping Peter Weyland on board the Prometheus.
- We know that Shaw uses the Med Pod to get a C-section or some other surgical procedure done to get an Alien lifeform removed from her.
- We know the Prometheus collides with the Derelict.
Those might not seem like such big spoilers to some but I kind of wished they kept things like that out of the marketing.

So no confirmation of anything.
Spoiler
The Verizon mini-game just reassured it. I almost wish the marketing would slow to a halt so there's still some sense of mystery and intrigue left once the flick comes out.
Only thing that's doing the movie any wrong at this point is the marketing; they're really letting a lot slip through the cracks as of late, even here with the Verizon minigame, they spoil the fact that
Spoiler
And with this over-marketing, fanboy expectations will grow and grow and grow until their isolated minds can't handle it anymore.

Deuterium... Please, man. Not in front of the children.
You know the one thing i'm also really glad to see making a return are the circular designs in the ship. That was something Ridley sorta had to fight for economically on the first Alien, because it costs more to design sets like that instead of building more square rooms. It's very much true to the design of Alien in that sense, too.

I was probably not paying much attention lol.
I wrote about her keeping Weyland on board the Prometheus - that was the correct answer.
I wrote "She is keeping someone or something onboard that no one knows about. Perhaps Peter Weyland."
And it didn't verify it as correct :\
What did it say for the correct answer?
Spoiler
And it was the right answer apparently...
Well played...

It was a good game, wasn't it Clarice?
I have no idea where any of that came from. SORRY FORUMS.
It's rather sad really, most of us don't even have to bother trying to "play" this thing. We reap the rewards of others playing it.
Quite a head scratcher as to why they aren't making (yet) an official tie in game. Seems like it would make sense, anyway.
I can't play it either, it just hangs on the 'begin' button. I will keep trying like a maniac though...
Hai this, dr. Lecter...

It's probably some item you can interact with on the game
Now is it just me, or have they photshopped an iPad into this picture....

Wha... why?

If may have no connection at all but the fact it mentions Weyland (albeit a different spelling) involves burial tombs, ancient massacres, and humans being dismembered by wild animals is somewhat familiar.
