Our much older (and some say wiser) parent Joystiq found a way to keep both your belly full and your head fashionably warm. On specially marked packages of Pop-Tarts you can get yourself an order form to fill out and send for a Xbox 360 beanie, with the proper UPC count of course. I think I saw another offer similar to this, but for a tshirt on my box of Twistables. And yes, some people do indeed save UPCs for these offers ... it's free Xbox swag AND edible goodies. You just can't go wrong ... you just can't go wrong.
Eat Pop-Tarts, get Xbox beanie hat

When it comes to branded merchandise, I don't think Microsoft will let some company to sell crappy branded swag. It's just not sound business/advertising. I want that hat!

I've had one for a while now and its pretty sweet beanie. Its made out of good material. However, the seems stick out quite a bit so if you dont mind that its definatly worth it. I put a patch over the poptarts logo though, I'd rather not advertise for companies (besides, of course, Xbox)

I'm definitely getting the hat and I might get the Back Sack by buying Eggo Waffles.

I remember the white version of this beanie hat came with the premium launch consoles. And if what #3 said, the launch beanie was far better. I'm sure people do not want to wear a pop tart logo around. Looks like I don't have an excuse to buy endless amounts of pastry treats.

I work in a grocery store and I been seeing Xbox 360 ads on snacks, pop tarts, cereal, and whatnot (even saw an ad for Sonic on a thing or large soft pretzels). It seems like MS is doing what they can to get the Xbox 360 known, which is good since they have to compete against everyone relating games to "PlayStation".
