Kmart: Fallout: New Vegas preorder with drink coasters! photo

Bethesda has something strange going on with retailer Kmart. With a $5 purchase of the Fallout coaster set seen above, you will get a $15 Video Game Savings coupon that will be redeemable the week of the Fallout: New Vegas release. It's like a strangely worded pre-order offer with bonus gift. Who cares how it goes down, though. It's Fallout coasters!

Kmart's blog says that the quantities are limited and there is a one-per-customer limit.

The offer kicks off on August 8th, so if you're down with Fallout or nifty drink coasters, you should get on it.

These are definitely full of win, but I have no clue where the nearest K-Mart is anymore. They've practically gone extinct, just like Hardee's.

What a strange and cool promotion. There aren't any K-Marts left in my area, though.

My local kmart is never traveled by anyone, so this should be easy.

So it's $15 dollars off any game the week of Fallout's release?

@superdeeduper both are still kicking in Ohio.

Yeah, for five bucks these are awesome. Gonna roll down the street to Kmart as soon as I am not hungover.

WANT. I'll probably have to pass on the extra $15 off a game 'cause I'm mega broke, but those coasters are swank.

No this is like a pre-order DISCOUNT with a bonus thrown in. You get New Vegas for $50 and you get coasters. Effing awesome and count me in.

That's a completely bizarre way to do a promo, but OK. I'll head over on Sunday and see if I can scrounge up a set.

Considering the fact that the bonus items from other pre-orders will probably be replaced by players when they level up and find better equipment, this seems like the better deal. You pay less than full price and get some sweet coasters.

And K-Mart just started selling Live and PSN cards in the store near me too.

K-Mart, consider this the beginning of a new friendship.

Dale: Thanks for taking the time to write about our deal. We definitely think it's interesting -- and unique! (NOTE: I'm the social media manager for Kmart/Sears Electronics.)

LK: Here's a list of stores in your area: http://www.insiderpages.com/store_finder/results/kmart/SanFrancisco/CA

glitznglam-style: Thanks! If you're on Twitter, you should give us a follow at http://kmartgamer.com

John B: Definitely...we had a great one for "Blur."

Budogenkai: Here's looking at you, kid

Kmart has gotten a lot of my gaming dollars this year. They had some decent promos, discounts and even a few exclusives. Hope the Fallout exclusive is but the tip of the iceberg since once we get into September there's at least half a dozen games I'm buying.

I wonder if they'll also apply this deal towards the CE

I called my local K-Mart and they had literally no idea about any of this.

A few things:

The coasters are in the pre-order box (They guy I spoke to at KMart did not know this).

The coasters are actually paper/cardboard - like pub coasters.

The $15 is off any game purchase at KMart in between 10/19 and 10/30.

Seriously, KMart? You made me go to this POS junk store to get these!

What a waste.

Why would you give such an amazing, exclusive pre-order to a crap company like Kmart?

I called THREE different stores, who all committed to having zero knowledge of Pre-order coasters, let alone the New Vegas title. God.

I called my local Kmart (only one within 20 miles) and they made a half assed attempt to connect me to the electronics department. After being on hold for about 10 minutes I decided to just go up there since I needed to pick up a few groceries anyways, they had NO IDEA what I was talking about when i mentioned the promotion. What gives?
