Useless Video-Game-itized Items: How Far Will They Go?

news.gotgame.com — For every genuinely awesome piece of video game merchandise, (real, playable sweet potato ocarinas modeled after Link ’s), there are five products whose money would be much better spent on an actual game (the Wiimote candy dispenser seems the token example). All that is "game" is not gold.

  • gskill, on 07/24/2008, -1/+4Oh my..... lol. But people will still buy these things.
  • jmuhlbie, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3I know, so sad yet so true.
  • Claudacity, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2Dude..in Japan it gets so intense! They have replica necklaces,
    watches, jewelry, and phone danglies... and they are high quality.
    These things are like hundreds of dollars....Japan is the MASTER at
    usless videogame fan paraphernalia.
  • TrophyPuff, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2I just got this in the mail yesterday: http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-Cactaur-Posabl ...

    ...I would probably actually buy a lot of those fake, 'image of the future' items. *sob*
  • haet, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2I'd get the toasty toaster......
  • slimzainy, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2Psh, who wants to get kiddy boxers when you can get potions??

  • jmuhlbie, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3hmmm the green "energy potion" looks rather enticing. I wonder if you can order online lol
  • letsgocrzy, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1I would laugh if this article alerted people to the presence of these items...and they bought them. The irony.
  • Destinatus, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1I bought some of those FFVII energy drinks at a convention. They actually taste better than most energy drinks (i.e. rotten piss) and the article fails to mention they come with a FFVII figurine.
