Pre-order Madden '07 and get two Snickers bars????

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Saw on a gamer site that this is the pre-order offer for Madden '07 if you get it at Best Buy (starts next week).......

GAMERS: Pre-Order Madden '07 and Get 2 Free Snickers bars //
$5 Deposit Required //
Madden '07 available 8/22/06 //
Snickers offer NOT available in New York Stores

Two questions.....

1. Who the hell would go out of their way to pre-order at Best Buy because of this offer? Do you see someone saying, "Listen, dude, I'm heading over to Best Buy because they have this great offer where I can reserve Madden '07 and get TWO CANDY BARS!!!!!!!"?

2. What happened in New York that resulted in no Snickers bars being available in that state?

I need to tell my boss if he lets me leave, he'll get a snicker bar.

Good point. Maybe they're trying to appeal to the good samaritians who would break their Snickers bar in half to share it if they only got one Snickers bar.

I wasn't going to buy the game since I don't own the console... but now i'm running out to get it right now. 2 candy bars? SCORE!!!

No, I'm pretty sure they're Snickers, actually.

Not going to preorder for a while?

Twix has too much coconut.

Wait guys, are these fun size, regular size or king size?

[General Mike]

Basically it's just a way to entice the people who are going to preorder anyway to preorder from Best Buy.

[Greyroofoo]

pfft, if they were offering three then maybe I'd pre-order.

But two? No way

{begin usual Madden rant}
Considering Madden buyers, as a whole, are the inbred rednecks of the video game buying population and Best Buy caters to idiots, I expect this to work
