Anyone in the London areas seen this -

Chaos at £20,000 petrol giveaway

Quote:
There have been angry scenes between motorists at a petrol station which is giving away £20,000 worth of fuel.
Electronic Arts has taken over the Last Stop garage in Finsbury Park, north London, to promote the game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

Well as far as I read its still on going... So 20k of fuel, 40quid each, that's 500 people.

But if the people get the free fuel, and don't get the game....

Wonder if bikes were allowed to filter past the queue to the front??

20 grand marketing campaign... interesting idea. It worked anyway, I went and looked on youtube since I've never heard of the game & now I know what it is, I'll probably end up mentioning it to mates in the pub... Won't be buying it though, there's a credit crunch going on
