According to information from this article, there will be a huge WPN event called the 'magic celebration' on September 10th.
Included in DoTP12 promotional material was this teaser:
Magic Celebration
An event unlike any other we’ve run before, Magic Celebration will bring together Duels of the Planeswalkers and Magic 2012 Core Set players on September 10th at WPN locations around the globe. More details will be unveiled as we get closer to the event, but you can learn more about Magic’s in-store events and find a hobby store near you at Wizards.com/locator.
Any ideas on what this could be?

Didn't they put out the DOTP decks at the same time as M11 last year? Could be a new round of those with some wacky tournament. I'm interested though to see what happens. not every WPN stores have the setups to run video games.
Maybe Promo cards for people who have DoTP and participate at lunch or people in lauch picking up a copy at the lauch?
But here hoping for an EPIC Dance Battle between both parties for the right to have Liliana's Panties in a future yet to be planned Un-set in their format.

I feel like it's something related to this. I remember reading that you'd get a promo for buying DotP 2012, but that you wouldn't actually get it with the game, that you'd have to trade in a voucher. Maybe this is where/when you trade in the vouchers. They could be setting up some kind of Game day style event where they then sell DotP and M12 as some sort of bundle.
Stores are getting the promos in time for the release of the dotp games. It would be strange to give them away three months after the game is released.
They did vouchers for ps3 and steam releases of dotp in stores before, after all.

I want Chandra's. They are hotter than Liliana's.
I am guessing that it will be a sealed like event, with a DotP deck plus some packs of M12.

It's the other way around. DotP is the shiny new internet gateway to paper magic. MTGO continues to languish in its neglected state.
D12 is just another way to introduce people to Magic - the Xbox Live Arcade is a huge market for Wizards.

4.0 is coming out soon...and MtGO isn't doing poorly by any measure.

EDIT:
DotP is a video game. M12 is the new set that you're probably thinking of.

More details will be released at a later date, but there will be digital rewards for fans.
Exclusive DLC? Interesting.

MTGO is in no way "languishing" it's just a different form of non-paper magic to reach the masses.
There are going to be "digital rewards."
