Free 360 swag with my Pop-Tart? Yes please

For the second year in a row, Kellogg's and Xbox 360 have teamed up to offer all kinds of 360 themed offers, goodies and deals in specially marked Kellogg's brand items. This means that when you're shopping at your local supermarket, take a look at a box of Pop-Tarts, Rice Krispie Treats, Fruit Loops or Gushers and odds are there will be some kind of mail-in offer. What kind of offers you ask? Well, we recently saw an Xbox 360 messenger bag for three UPCs and a few dollars shipping. Semi-free swag FTW! Though, just like last year, the items usually come with some sort of Kellogg's branding on them too ... so be warned.

Speaking of offers, we don't have a BJ Superstores nearby, but Xbox.com says that they have a special offer on their Rice Krispie Treats where you can mail-in a form to get a copy of Viva Piñata for free. Anyone knowledgeable about this offer or how many UPCs you need? We want the deets and are willing to down up to eight boxes of smores flavored Pop-Tarts to secure ourselves a free game.

Fanswag Weekly: Halo 3 and Game Fuel prize pack [update]


[Update: The contest is now closed and our winners have been notified. Everyone check your inboxes (make sure you check spam, too!). You might be a winner.]

We're sure that you all feared that the giveaways would cease after the unbridled chaos of the Ultimate Halo 3 Setup Giveaway. Well, those fears were completely unfounded because the giveaway train keeps rolling! In fact, we're going to be giving something away every week from now until we run out of swag. Welcome to Fanswag Weekly, fanboys. This week, we're giving away our precious review copy of Halo 3 -- that means it's not shrink wrapped by the way -- along with a Game Fuel prize pack. The prize pack includes some Game Fuel in a nifty aluminum bottle, three 3D Slurpee cups, a Halo 3 / Game Fuel T-shirt, two coupons for a free Slurpee, and an Xbox 360 notepad (so you can write us a thank you note, natch). As an added bonus, we're even throwing in another Game Fuel prize pack for a second place winner. If you'd like a shot at this haul, follow these simple steps:
  • Leave a comment on this post describing how you'll get cranked and jack it up with your Game Fuel. Oh, and Halo 3 is rated M, so you must be 18 to enter.
  • Be sure you only leave one comment, posters of multiple comments will be disqualified. We'll accept entries until Friday, October 5th, 12:00 Noon, Eastern Time
  • On Friday, we'll pick two winners via a random drawing
  • One grand prize winner will receive a copy of Halo 3 and a Game Fuel prize pack, worth approximately $90 total. One runner up will receive a Game Fuel prize pack worth about $30
Not bad for two minutes of work, right? Get to entering and good luck. Oh, and you may want to peruse the Official Rules by clicking here. Be sure to check back next Wednesday for our next batch of swag.

Japan gets some sweet Halo apparel


Our sadistic overlords at Joystiq managed to snag the super spiffy T-shirt you see above at the Tokyo Game Show yesterday. The shirt was being given to attendees of Microsoft's International Press Party. Supposedly, the Japanese text reads "Save Cortana." Of course, sex sells. We all know that, but we're not sure if it's enough to sell Halo 3 to Japan (even if Famitsu loves it). Still, it's a pretty nice shirt, and one we wouldn't mind adding to our collection. If you agree, then keep an eye on Joystiq, as they'll be giving it away one of these days. The rest of us can head over to the Bungie store, repeatedly mash F5, and hope.

360 wristbands for a good cause

A 360 Fanboy reader pointed out these cool Xbox 360 wristbands for us today. The wristbands are available at Best Buy (in store only) for $1 dollar each. The proceeds from each band will be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Specifically, proceeds will go towards teaching computer skills and helping children learn to use technology in creative ways. No doubt, this is a diabolical strategy to recruit the next generation of XNA developers.

We know that 360 fanboys will be shopping at Best Buy this holiday, why not pick up a few of these as stocking stuffers?

[Thanks, Archangel004]

Smell that new Halo 3 clothing

Over at the Bungie Store they're offering brand new clothing that will keep you warm and cozy. There's a brand new "No Scope To The Dome" tshirt and a Halo 3 micro fleece jacket. Is it just me or are the prices rather high over at the Bungie Store? Even shipping is a tad exaggerated ... or maybe I'm just so damn frugal. Go snoop around the site and see if anything makes you happy, because you know all the cool kids wear Halo merch.

Presenting some sweet Viva PiƱata swag


The package pictured above showed up on Gamertag Radio's doorstep yesterday. The box had a copy of Viva Piñata, a "passport" to Piñata Island, some purple Easter grass, and of course, the piñata. A sweeter piece of game related swag we haven't seen in a long time. Yes, we're afraid that it even tops RoboBlitz T-shirts. Sadly, packages like this rarely make it past the automated Nerf turrets outside Fanboy Towers -- they're not lethal, just really annoying. It's too bad really, because it's a nice bit of kit we could have given away. Speaking of Viva Piñata, has anybody picked it up yet? Is it any good?

E3 literally in the bag for Microsoft


Unlike Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft doesn't have much signage outside the LA convention center or in the lobby, choosing instead to pour their efforts into several 18-wheelers worth of booth. However, they did sponsor the swag bags pictured above, ensuring everyone will think of the Xbox 360 when they dump their haul at the end of the day. Shrewd. Ignoring the Joystiq poll slanted by raving Nintendo fanboys, is it now safe to say MS has E3 in the bag?

Halo.Bungie.org T-shirt and raffle

Behold, the official Halo.Bungie.org T-shirt. Buying one for a mere $11.29 enters you in a raffle for some sweet fan art posters and an invitation to HBO's E3 LANfest.
