I'll buy the "stealth" one for the hell of it, despite not even owning a 360. I could just throw it in the 360 at work, since the managers would know no better.
Nothing says advertising like sneaking up behind people and making them eat your fatty foods.

I see that the Subserviant (sp?) Chicken (remember him?) is on the Big Bumpin' cover. Wonder if Coq Roq makes an cameo anywhere...
The cover art scares the hell out of me. I'll be running away from BK now.
Deaf, female, and a gamer. Got a problem with that?
Oh no you won't!
These have just become some of my most anticipated games of 2006 (no joke), seriously for $4 each thats just a steal, especialy if the come in a normal dvd sized case (I doubt it they will probably come in some lame cardboard slip) but still who the hell doesnt want to ride a bike or a bumper car as the goddamn BK chicken or the BK King? and online multiplayer too? my god I cant wait...
God, I hope they put Hootie in at least one of the games!

It'd be worth it just so i could kick the BK Kings ass.
I don't like that guy, and my GF is creeped out at the sight of him.
Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

Hootie and Brooke Burke!God, I hope they put Hootie in at least one of the games!
(If Brooke got the shaft, she's in Need For Speed Underground 2, so at least that's something.)
Except for the fact that every other collector (and eBay profiteer) in the country is thinking the same thing.Right you are sir!
His name isn't flipping Hootie! It's Darius Rucker! Although he doesn't care being called Hootie since it means people still remember him.God, I hope they put Hootie in at least one of the games!
But yeah! HOOTIE!

HA HA HA!! These are so friggin dumb!! I have to own them. The premise is the dumbest, but funniest idea for games ever. What stoned-ass bastards work at BK corporate anyway?

The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
Exactly. How many people on this forum, or any given forum, really have "rare" games like Cheetamen II or even a mint copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga?Except for the fact that every other collector (and eBay profiteer) in the country is thinking the same thing.Right you are sir!
In comparison, it is safe to assume nearly every member of the DP forums worth their salt will have these games, or at least try to get them, by the end of the year.
Truth is, you'll have most everybody here buying at least two or three copies of each game. One to play, one to keep sealed and one to sit on in case it goes up in value. There are people reading this right now who will drive all over the city to different Burger King stores trying to acquire 10-15 copies, or more.
When a game becomes rare, this sort of thing tends to happen after the fact. I don't think most people who bought Flintstones II believed it was going to be rare later on. People buying something like Action 52 wanted to play 52 games at once and thought the lousy box art and graphics may have been a joke but there weren't a lot of them sitting back thinking about production values or the number of copies out there, at least not back then.
Burger King will have to run this thing for awhile or print more games to keep up with the demand, if they want to keep a customer base happy. They are not interested in catering to collectors by keeping production values low. If they run out, they'll order (or produce) more copies of the games and keep them in there a little longer or make sure that most everybody who wants a game will get one. Meaning they kind of have to keep games on hand during the promotion, at all costs. They won't run out and it is safe to assume the market will be flooded with these things.
It will be a joke seeing threads or Ebay auctions two or three years from now with some yokel trying to get the equivalent of a rent payment off of one of these things.
@bangotango, that's an excellent summary of the situation. Exactly what I was thinking. Back in the day, people were players, not collectors and that's how rares happened. Now there are probably more collectors than players. You just don't get true rares when everyone is stocking up and when the companies are producing to meet that demand.

Sorry for the double, fucking phpBB. :/
Normally I would agree with that logic. Games that claim to be EXCLUSIVE!!! RARE!!! this day and age are really not. (See Outlaw games from Blockbuster which sat on shelfs until they were liquidated.)
However.
These games are only going to be sold for appoximately 1 month. My guess is they have a set print run, and that's it. Just enough to run the promotion. By no means are these going to be an Action 52, or a NWC, but these will be uncommon and hard to find in good shape. My guess is that they will NOT be in DVD cases, but will be in paper sleeves. It's cheaper that way.
OMG SUPER RARE and is gonna be worth the monies? No.
Wow. that's 20 years old and it's pretty uncommon and hard to find in good shape? I think so.

I agree they are worth getting for a lot of reasons. There will be a lot of mangled copies of those games in 10-15 years.
However, more DP/Atari Age/Game FAQ, etc. members will have them than the typical game that is uncommon. Mostly due to the advance warning. Most everyone reading this thread will have them and nobody here is going to let their copies go to seed.
