Gears of War 2 Limited Edition Energy Drink

[nskinnear]

Microsoft and Demon Energy Drink are teaming up to run a promotion at the launch of Gears of War 2. The promo will include limited edition Demon Energy Drink cans and bottles as well as a competition to win the first copies of Gears of War 2 in the world. But that’s probably not the best part, if you buy a limited edition Gears of War themed can and take it in to your local Harvey Normans before the 7/11/08 and you will get $10 off the price of your pre-order.

The prizes that you can win by buying the Limited Edition cans are as follows

1 of 5 Limited Edition Engraved Xbox 360 consoles
1 of 100 Xbox 360 Games
A massive 50″ Samsung HD Plasma TV
There is also a form to enter the competition on the Demon Energy Drink website (link (http://www.demonenergy.co.nz/default.aspx))

They're really advertising this game to death. It will be amazing though, so I see no problem with that.

Makes me wish they put all that effort of advertising into making awesome games

Gears energy drinks...they're pretty much doing the same thing they did with Halo 3. But those drinks were good, so by that logic, these should be too. I have to say though, I wouldnt mind a second 360, and a limited edition gears engraved one at that, not to mention a 50" plasma...

Microsoft is really good at advertising their games. I wish Sony would do that. LBP is going to be an amazing game and there isn't much advertising for that game. Microsoft buys TV spots and spends money on companies like Demon Energy Drink to get things promoted. It works, it gets the game hyped up and usually increases game sales. Sony needs to learn something from MS on advertising.
