Everyone loves free stuff. I collect free stuff like Joystiq collects talented writers. I have an armada of Kids Meal toys (such as a 6 piece nugget box and soda that inexplicably transform into robots) and several sets of Batman Returns plastic cups from Taco Bell. What do I do with them? Nothing. They just make my girlfriend start yelling and then in my defense I point to the giant Adriana Lima collage I glued over our bed and exclaim "If you loved me, you would look like that!"
Anyway, beyond the jump lie all the snazzy pre-order bonuses from Gamestop you can horde in a corner somewhere with your Garbage Pail Kids cards and Battle Beast. I'm partial to the 100-page artbooks and in-game content like that netherwhelp I paid $120 for. Some level 12 nub ran past me the other day in Ironforge and was like "hay wurd you get that dragon? is cool!" Tooooootally worth it.

So, has any free schwag swayed your spending decisions, or is Pirates just too crappy to waste money on no matter what?
I also tried to amplify the next-gen sweat graphics on her chest, but my version of Photoshop might as well come with a Wiimote.
So... how bout all that free schwag?
@domataos:
Which one? The beanie or the soundtrack?
And Olivia isn't as hot as Morgan. Personality goes a long way, and I'd rather have a snarky gaming bitch instead of a sheltered nerd in denial. Olivia said one day on In Your Pants that she'd never masturbated. How exactly does that happen, unless you're sexually repressed?
Wow! A free pixelized-Nissan with your $60 purchase of Forza. Sweet!
That said, never squash pictures, man. Especially of uber-hot babes. Never. And screw Morgan. Give me Olivia.
Wait, isn't this the D-toid comments? Isn't there ALWAYS someone criticizing someone elses habits? And why exactly am I the only D-toid reader that cares that Olivia has never masturbated? I figured with all the Fapping you readers do, that would be an important characteristic in a mate. Oh wait, what would gamers know about mates? ;)
In order to be fair I would hit all things
"your costumes like 18% innacurate anyway"
LOL
And I want that headset more than I want the game.
Shes a hot female, they can just go grab men whenever the hell they want, they don't need to masturbate.
And btw, if we are gonna talk about hot women on G4, we need to talk about Diane Mzota(from the good version of Filter), Tina Wood(from G4TV.com...the show), or, if your a "BOOBS OMFGZ!!!111" guy, (which we all are to some extent), there is Layla Kayleigh.
I feel a poll of some sort coming on. MAKE IT HAPPEN DESTRUCTOID WRITERS.
Is that a euphamism, or is attaching rhinestones to jean jackets more fun than sex with you? ;)
Also, I cannot see why you'd prefer ManJaw-Morgan over Olivia Munn..
Thanks for the heads up on free Shwag Haley, I'm going to get The Darkness anyways so an extra character model is badass.
I should of been more descriptive,
even when i have a girl ill be in the bathroom throwin a beat
while she's all "yea this is fun just hanging out and not fucking cause I luv u, i think im going to do some crafts!" and im like "uh ya hun i gotta go throw a beat because you suck"
As far as the swag goes, I really don't bother much with that stuff. I have no room for more collectible clutter that will just get shoved in a closet, and in-game items are typically completely superficial and pointless. The free headset is probably the most useful one out of the bunch, but I'm assuming it's crap quality. Unless it's for a game I'm REALLY into or the stuff is unusually great, I usually pass on pre-orders.
And Morgan Webb over Olivia Munn? I think Morgan's cute, but Epic fail.
Do they transform into robots or dinosaurs? 'Cause I use to have the dinosaurs, man. They transformed into the cup, the kids meal box, the nugget box, etc. LMAO.
