Psychonauts Pre-Order: Promotional Playing Cards! 08 Mar, 2005, 12:53 / 8 comments

By Metallus


Dudes and dudettes: If you haven't checked that huge Psychonauts banner at the top of our site lately (it's that banner at the top of our site, the huge one about Psychonauts), you might have missed the fact that EBGames.com has put in a rather sweet bonus for people who pre-order the excellent game Psychonauts. While supplies last, pre-orderers will get a deck of Psychonauts playing cards, apparently designed in the style of that one black velvet level which features playing cards prominently. Rawk.

In addition, you can now pre-order Psychonauts at EBGames for all platforms (that the game is being released for), rather than just that big black and green one. It's probably safe to say that a lot of Mojo readers are into this kind of promotional tchotchke, so I shouldn't have to remind you how much you want these cards. Just go pre-order the damn game, man. Here are some bonus links if you are averse to scrolling up:

Xbox | PC | PS2, too

    Man, I preordered the game recently but before the promotion and I hope I get that deck of cards, too!

    Ditto, except that I wish I had that dancing skeleton man.

    Dammit, time to switch pre-orders.

    Same here. I pre-ordered at gamestop since eb didn't have it for the PC yet. Hi ho.

    Argh, you can't select UK to ship to on that site! I need the promotional tchotchke!

    I've just been on gameplay.co.uk, it looks like the UK release date is 28th October. Being English sucks.

    Yep, but there will be some way of ordering it from the US and getting it in April, which is what I'll do.

    Just annoying that the EBGames pre-order goodies won't be available to us. Just recieved this e-mail after checking with them:

    "Thank you for contacting EBgames.com. We currently do not take orders
    from, or ship to your country or territory. We regret not being able to
    do business with you. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that
    we can do business with you sometime in the near future."

    That's a handy form letter! I'd be interested to know what their reasoning is. I would be tempted to think they just don't want the potential hassle of selling NTSC games to PAL territories, but then just about every other PAL country is on the list. Grrr?
