Preorder A Boy and His Blob, get a squishy egg with a face photo

I understand that GameStop means well with all these preorders bonuses, but when it comes to this latest one for the upcoming Wii game A Boy and His Blob, well, it just seems like it could have been better. If you preorder the game through them, you get this Blob stress ball, which as the right face but somehow looks more like an egg that someone drew a face on with a marker. Besides, why would I want to squeeze Blob? That would hurt him!

If you want to preorder this anyway and squish Blob's face, you can do so here. The game is coming out in October and we can't wait to finally get it, as you may have gathered from our visit to WayForward's studios back around E3 time. The game looks just as awesome as you would imagine, and I exepct it to easily be one of my favorite titles on the Wii this year. Are you planning to pick it up?

That's not nearly large enough to hug!

You just lost a sale.

Even better is that fact that the game is launching at an MSRP of $40.

Hahaha! Hail Squishface!

This is a decent enough little preorder freebie, they could have given out nothing at all. I'm just sad they're bringing this out in October, when all my gaming funds are already allocated to other things, instead of, say, December or January, when nothing of interest is scheduled.
