They've sold >5m Boxed Copies. That makes your odds of winning roughly 1 in 2,000,000 (rounding up) means it would seem you're 40 times more likely to be legally executed than to win the prize (although I think those are US statistics and they'll execute anyone)...but if you were going to be playing anyway it is a nice bonus that there's a chance of winning this.
Also given the choice between an Xbox, PS3 and PC, the PC is worth way more than the consoles. You could sell it unused and buy the PS3 AND Xbox...

Those kind of sweepstakes are illegal in most part of europe since it requires purchase to participate.
