With the economy deteriorating and consumers reluctant to spend so frivolously, the entire country is seeking creative, and sometimes desperate, ways to bring in extra cash. The result: Lawsuits, Lawsuits, Lawsuits! The porn industry is no exception. The Estate of Ron Jeremy (Paul S. Martin) filed a $69 million dollar lawsuit last week against the creator of Mario Bros., Shigeru Miyamoto, as well as his employer Nintendo Co. Ltd.
BREA - Local GameStop in a Brea, CA mall has noticed a considerable drop-off in used game sales with the slowdown of the economy. They have tried many different campaigns including the oft seen 25% off used game coupons, and buy one get one free fliers. Nothing was working...until now!
Who would have guessed the popularity of the churned poppy product, heroin? They are giving out free packets of heroin with a game purchase of equal or greater value (which constitutes approximately 25 used Xbox games in price).
Besides just being a nice benefit for adults, as well as a special treat for the kiddies, the strong hallucinogenic properties of the "freebie" makes the graphics of every game seem so much better, as well as making load and install times much more profitable. This should considerably boost the sales of PC and PS3 games, as well as crap nobody would buy before (we're talking to you The Incredible Hulk).
So get yourself into that store right now, because I was there eariler, and now I'm being told by a magical flying miniature elephant that supplies won't last long!
Sometimes game producers don't make the smartest marketing choices. Animal Cussing for Nintendo Wii proves this emphatically.
