    Promotional Items

    Anyone remember when EA Sports used to give out promotional items along with the video game?

    What stuff did people on here get? I remember getting a NHL mug, a mini hockey statue(though I had to ask for that, cause the store sorta seemed surprised I knew about the promotion..) and for NHL2002, I got a Mario Lemieux card(I never even watched hockey until around 1999/2000, so getting that card, when I wasn't even 10 years old, was real cool)

    I can't remember ever getting any promotional items similar to those but I've always been a big fan of games with huge game manuals. I always liked the Grand Theft Auto series because they always came with maps of the city and the manual was almost like a tour guide with fake ads that were pretty funny. Unfortunately, manuals these days consist of a couple pages of health and copyright warnings and not much else. Most don't even have the controls listed in them anymore

          Only thing I have is a full size Gretzky cut out from the nintendo 64 1998 game. It lives in my gaming and ice hockey watching room.

            Well, every firm used to do this for making a strong image and brand in the market among all the competitors. Yes, it is great to get gifts but its a long time when I got any corporate gift from sports.

                  They still do these sorts of things for sports games, it's just instead of it being free, you now have to pay anywhere from $20 to $50 extra to get the so-called "collector's edition."
