IndustryGamers revealed today that Electronic Arts and Dr Pepper have struck a multimillion-dollar partnership. EA will be advertising Dr Pepper products in their games starting with The Sims 3 in early 2010. The partnership will see codes appearing on Dr Pepper products that will unlock special content in games, such as beach party items for Sims 3.
It's really impressive to me that this deal was with Dr Pepper and not Coke or Pepsi, two companies that usually get these kinds of deals. I'm glad Dr Pepper was chosen though, as it's the best soda on the market. No other soda comes close to tasting as good as Dr Pepper. Yes, I sound like an ad here, but I truly mean it.
Speaking of which, Dr Pepper, you can send me cases of Dr Pepper as thanks for this free advertising.

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Amazingly smooth indeed.
This reminds me of the Mountain Dew/WoW partnership though.
Also, this Sim 3 thing is lame. Now if there were secret items we could find that gives us discounts on the sweet stuff, that'd be a different thing altogether. Hell, Playstation Home could do something like that, it'd probably be worth something. Since neither of them do that, they're not.
Also, Dr. Pepper.
Fuuuuuuuck, the line has been painted across Activision with MountainDew. EA is officially th new third party super hero.
I know it's your opinion but we are not in early 2008 anymore, just saying.
Wow: have fun missing out on Dead Space 2 (whenever it arrives), Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge 2, Dragon Age, and other great games EA has used to skyrocket their negative image since (as Monodi stated) early 2008.
* FIXED * :)
Please tell me you're not serious...
