Shooter MMO CrimeCraft Now Best Buy Exclusive

18
The retail PC edition of Vogster's "persistent world next-gen shooter" CrimeCraft will only be sold through vendor Best Buy in North America, publisher THQ has announced.

BestBuy.com pre-orders for the game will open on May 31, with retail locations starting to accept pre-orders on June 7. Those that pre-order will get early beta access, a three-day head start on the launch server, and in-game Marc Ecko shoes.

Additionally, Best Buy will provide those that buy the August-due Unreal Engine 3-powered shooter-MMO with two free months of play, discounts on in-game items, and several other "exclusive" in-game clothing options from "real-world fashion labels."

        Seriously, Marc Ecko shoes? Who the hell do they think their target market is? Somehow I doubt that this kind of product placement/brand gimmick will appeal to most gamers.
