Xbox Promo Boosts Burger King 40%
 Hamburger giant Burger King says its Xbox games promo helped the company achieve a 40% increase in profits for Q2. The company sold 3.2 million games in the quarter.
In a major boost for Microsoft and for games, the firm said its promo to sell cheap games to Xbox 360 owners drove traffic and sales. The restaurant chain sold three different Xbox titles for $3.99 with a value-meal purchase. The Blitz Games-developed Pocketbike Racer, Big Bumpin’ and Sneak King feature Burger King icons such as the Subservient Chicken and the King himself.

I bought one meal and three games, and then just ate the fries. I think we may have gotten two meals and just ate the fries, I forget. Either way, that rocks for BK.

Maybe we'll see additional retailers doing promotions like this. That would be very cool.

The hamburglar, possibly? Grimace?? Haha, I dunno how successful those would be if they did. But, then again, I didn't think that these games would be as popular as they are!

Good for BK, i think is was a good move on their part... In an unfortunate turn of events, 40% of the patrons that purchased them with their meals, suffered fatal coronary attacks.

Speaking of which, do they still have the games for sale? I knew it was a limited time offer thingy, but I didn't know when it ended. |
