Cooolest gaming freebie

When I opened up this month's issue of Nintendo Power, I was surprised to see that they were giving away a CD containing an orchestral concert with 15 songs from Super Smash Bros Mele . This is easily the coolest subscriber bonus I've ever received from any game magazine and it sure as hell beats those lame 10 page cheat booklets I get from EGM.

So it got me thinking about all the lame gaming freebies I've received over the years and I was wondering what is the coolest bonus item you've ever received? And was it obtained from pre-ordering a game, a subcriber bonus, or by some other method?

NiGHTS Christmas, Standee's of VF4, Crazy Taxi, Crazy Taxi 2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Halo and a bunch of Tee-Shirts to name a few. I like the Gamecube tee and the Sega Sports Polo best.

Sonic 10th Anniversary pack was pretty swag, but my personal favorites remain the soundtrack and kick-ass artbook I got with Castlevania: SotN and the Miyazaki art cell that came with Jade Cocoon :D

Does anybody remember the paper mask for Panzer Dragoon Saga in that one issue of EGM? It let you dress up like the character since you couldn't find a copy of the game :lol:

But nothing can top the free Dragon Warrior for the NES from Nintendo Power. A free game!! That was unheard of from a magazine.

It probably will be Ocarina of Time for GameCube.

But besides that, the Jet Set Radio Future sample soundtrack was given out for free for a while. You didn't even have to buy the game(although everyone who wanted the CD probably did own it).

Why the hell did you write that in orange? Are you trying to make me blind?

Orange on blue (default) is good.
Orange on black (2.0) is good.
Orange on grey (Go)
Orange on ...gamma? Well...dunno.

I like the Spy Hunter Testors model car you got when you bought Spy Hunter PS2 from Toys R Us. One of the better freebies I've seen.

I've got tons of promo stuff around but that's a different category.
