The Free Goods Incentive topic

[cag1000]

I love to buy games when stores are giving away free goodies for incentive for you to buy from them. Especially when some of these items go for good money. Examples: harvest moon cow going for over 20 at one point, Doom 3 pewter figures, art books. This is my question...

I was think that we should have an offical topic listing pre order incentives or purchase incentives.

The reason?

these deals can be hard to find, and are not always on the main page of ebgames.com and gamestop.com

Hopefully this can maybe be stickied, let me know what you think and the OG post can be updated. I need more free goods!! It takes away from the purchase price of the game if you sell it off, or can be a cool addition to the game.

I'll start it off with only 2 of the ones i know going on now
Fables bonus disk: most game stores
starwars battlefront figure: eb games B&M?

Leisure Suit Larry DVD
http://www.tecmogames.com/store/doau.asp

http://ebgames.com/ebx/product/236112.asp

warhammer dawn of war- bonus CD (making of, soundtrack, poster, screenshots and hint book)

Everquest 2- starter kit (create a character, behin the scenes, unique character item, and pc upgrade coupons)

Medal of honor pacific assault- bonus disc ( walkthru, wallpaper, message, WW2 propoganda gallery)

Street racing syndicate (with purchase) Eb games exclusive trading cards (the girls of SRS and an exclusive in game unlockable item)

free joe budden music download for def jam fight for NY
tribes vengence you get a bonus disk with the FULL original tribes on it
tony hawk dvd with THUG2

I couldn't care less about pre-order extras. I barely have enough space for my games let alone extra crap that comes with it.

good fucking idea! for real! lol

i get hooked up at my local EB so i will have alot to share in the future

I like this idea. I know of a couple:

DOA Ultimate Poster: some stores
DOA Figure: some stores
Leisure Suit Larry DVD

Not sure if all stores have these, but I'm pretty sure EB has the disc and I believe the figure.

[cag1000]

hmm doa figure sounds good
anyone know any more about this one

[Rig]

Okay, here's what I was talking about:

http://www.tecmogames.com/store/doau.asp

Don't think you can get it from them now. My local EB said this is what I would receive. EB has this on the website:

http://ebgames.com/ebx/product/236112.asp

And here's Gamestop:

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=B210410A

If you are really into this stuff, as I am, preorder each different one to receive the bonuses, and only pick up one copy. That means however, you will probably be spending $5 per bonus.

Gamestop is also doing this. I saw the figure when I went to my local gamestop yesterday. It was some kind of stormtrooper.

Can I preorder DOA in the store and get the figure and cards because I called a few gamestops and they had no glue? They just told me that the DOA preorder extras may be only for online orders.



Here is another goodie, a free collectible bust of the Ryu Character!

Is the DBZ Budokai 3 CE going to be available everywhere? Hopefully.

With Battle for Middle Earth you get a free bonus CD and access to the fellowship club (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/238969.asp). Of course, Amazon has not yet mailed me my code to get into the fellowship club, but because I did get the game mispriced at $20 Im not going to email them about the game.

I think it might, but you should preorder it to make sure you get one.

Not a bad idea OP. I think though that it might be a little easier to navigate if people just made individual threads, unless the OP or some mod would be willing to update the frontpage.

hey thanx guys for bumping up my original post and still showing interest cause i pretty much don't preorder anymore unless im getting something extra, i'm just cheap like that, and want my free goodies. I'm lovin everything you guys posted but would rather have the goods than some of the games. Im sweatin that POP artbook right now thanx. So maybe we should just keep posting throughout the thread and let people navigate to find the items, especially with all the good pictures you are all posting. Think of it as a visual history of what Promo items are out there for games that have been out for months and when the items are only available on ebay.

Up. I think this deserves some attention.
