The original TOTAL RECALL made me wish there was an actual Rekall that would implant awesome memories, you know, without the violent spasms or need to murder a bunch of people and then pull a ball out of your nose. Ah, memories.
Well, the new TOTAL RECALL is making the memory implantation a reality via a viral site and a contest. If you visit Welcome To Rekall, there are nine choices you can make that will utilize your Facebook data (assuming you allow the site to access it) to create a presentation for your selected experience. It is a little goofy, but still cool. The contest is where the real reward is at.
Once you have completed your selected experience, you will have a chance to enter a contest with a prize specific to your Rekall choice.

With Sony Rewards, members can get rewarded for doing the things they already love – like going to the movies, playing games, sharing and more. The points can be used to redeem for the latest Sony electronics, movies, music and games – and even once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Pretty damn cool! In addition to these prizes, there will be a Rekall booth at Comic Con where visitors will get a photo badge of their actual Rekall experience. Looks like Sony is pulling out all the stops for this one.
TOTAL RECALL opens in theaters August 3rd.
