GameStop Totally Jumps the Shark with Wii Promo Items
July 2, 2009 by srfto
When offering promotional items with consoles or games, most retailers take the safe route and offer items that are ‘related to the product’ or ‘neat.’ GameStop stomps them in the face in defiance with their brand new, completely ridiculous online-only Wii promotional items.
Has the Wii lacked something that has deterred you from buying one? If so, GameStop has just the trick to turn anyone into a happy Wii owner!
Forget the console’s lack of respectable FPS titles, you can get a free water gun to pretend you’re pretend stalking through hallways and shooting people in the head!
Don’t feel that the Wii makes you look like a bad enough dude? One of these complimentary pirate tattoo sleeves will have your enemies showing you respect and the ladies feeling the heat!
And last but not least, the Buddle Bundle comes with more than a novelty — it comes with a friend. Your own rubber ducky will stand proud and defend your honor, and with a squeeze, sends a jet of steaming water into your opponents eyes when they’re about to land the killing blow!
Stand proud, rubber ducky, stand proud. You are not enough to force that surplus of Wiis — caused by the previous huge demand and Nintendo getting too excited — off the GameStop shelves. Only a price cut could do that.
