Free T-shirts 4 T:V purchasers

VUG should start giving out free T:V t-shirts to purchasers to help promote more sales. T-Shirts only cost .25 cents in quantity and would be a inexpensive way of promotion. OR, they could just do what they are doing.

Who wants a free T-Shirt?

Let em know. I'm sure they are watching

Just a quick note: any shirt that cost .25 cents would prolly dissolve the first time you washed it. That would REALLY promote the game now, wouldnt it? :rolleyes:

Frankly they should put a $10 shirt in the Sierra STORE and let us buy em (so long as it's one of the GOOD shots of Julia and not that godawful box cover).

They could market this game SO much more effectively, one wonders what they are thinking... :P

They don't want people to know about it because they are embarrassed that they published it.

:shrug:

Selling 'em is a good idea. Launching those sales by handing out a pile of freebies is even better.

As long as I get a free one, that is. :p

Believe me, T-shirts don't cost squat in quantity. All they need do is bundle the T:V order with other games their market and before you know it you have an order for 10,000 shirts. Sure they won't be polo's and may be a little more than 25cents, but not much.
My company has maybe twenty types of shirts we give to customers. Also calculators, Flash sticks, ink pens, hats, gloves, buttons, mouse pads, etc.
The idea is if you're marketing to a specific community that you wish to expand members wearing the shirts might spot other members, who knows where.
The more members the more likely an encounter.
It all good

too late now, I already bought the game.

I didn't, and actually I wouldn't wear the shirt even if I got it 4 free.
I was just thinking about you nerds

HL2 did it right.

With the collectors edition, which I was suckered in to buying (they didn't have regular one) I got this HL2 T-shirt.

It's plain black, with the white HL2 symbol in the middle. Hell, I'll wear it, it isn't like an ultimate nerd shirt with some huge game scene on the back. I'd wear a T:V shirt if they just put a T:V symbol on the front of a black shirt.

i am not going to wear a video game shirt to any function other than a lan party, and ive only been to 1 ever. no, i dont really want a T:V shirt

Hmmm...I wonder how many collectors editions were sold.
If I had the shirt I'd give it to you Calder

Hell, I'm going to wear this.

You know the HL2 symbol?

The little circle with the hl symbol? Yea, thats all thats on it.

:shrug:

For everyone who doesn't know: VUG spent just about as much on HL2's packaging as T:V.

Bastards wouldn't even spring for a frigging jewel case for the normal retail.

On the shirt thing, I think it'd be interesting to have shirts of the four tribes with only the tribe's insignia on the front. BE red, Starwolf blue, Phoenix orange, and DS brown or some such.

I'd wear a BE shirt.

If it was just black w/ the BE logo on the front :P

I'd wear a BE shirt.

If it was just black w/ the BE logo on the front :P

I'd sport the Starwolf one (not the old logo, but the T2 logo).

Why should they? It's a huge waste of resources. There's no reason to package CD's in anything other than sleeves and even more so when you have 6+ cd's to package.

There's so many better methods to store CD's without creating the extra bloat and waste, just quit crying you freakin retard.

Every other game I've purchased this year came with a jewel case or some equivalent. The only two exceptions to this have been HL2 and T:V. Five CDs and four CDs respectively. T:V could've been packaged in a jewel case, and HL2 (being the big name title it is) could've recieved the UT2k4 treatment.

I would classify the cardboard boxes PC games are currently shipped in to be "bloat" since so little real estate is used in them anymore. So what if the cost is a little more? If EA and Activision can spring for it, why can't VUG?

The paper sleeves are all but useless for long-term storage, and they don't give the product the same "quality" feel as a more permanent solution such as the ones I've mentioned.

If I'm shelling out forty dollars for UT2k4 and fifty for HL2, I think the packaging should at least be on par.
