Or perhaps a dose of Necter with Haze. Maybe Freeman’s Crowbar with Half Life. This could go on for ever. lol.

I’d have liked a Tony Stark whisky flask for the giveaway in Iron Man. With whisky of course.

Wow! Night vision goggles alone have to be more than £119.99! How can someone say no to that!
I have to agree, the chainsaw controller was an amazing idea!
I want to see a Special Edition MGS; with a bandana that actually makes any weapon you’re holding have unlimited ammo; or, even better, actually sell Stealth Camoflague with the game.

This reminds me of the time I hovered at the till in Gamestation, trying to decide whether a full sized Gears of War 2 Lancer Replica would be the perfect item to improve the dining room’s feng shui…then deciding the colour didn’t go with my curtains.
I think you’re right. The serious gamer who was going to buy the game anyway is probably the main target for promotions such as these, as it can be rationalised with a simple “it’s only a few more quid”, but it doesn’t stop them from being tempting to the part-time gamer too.
I certainly couldn’t justify 120 sovs on such an extravagant purchase in these leanest of times, but it won’t stop me from daydreaming about grabbing Agent Starling’s face and giggling.
