Sega Handheld Available.. At McDonalds?

Thanks to Shacknews for pointing to the McDonalds USA homepage, which features information about their available-from-today Happy Meal giveaway, featuring a choice of 6 simple, Sega-themed Game and Watch-ish handheld games. These include the Sonic Action Game, Tails Sky Patrol, and there's even a playable online demo for the AiAi's Banana Catch handheld, starring the lovable Super Monkey Ball simian. In the absence of any new hardware from Sega, these plastic imitations will have to suffice - they're available until July 24th in the U.S.

Would be kinda neat if manufacturers had to pre-pay for disposal costs - especially on items like this that are most likely to end up in the landfill after a short time.

They'd pass the costs on to the end-consumers, which I personally wouldn't mind so much. I know it takes money to properly dispose/recycle products - more money than the current "just put it all in a landfill" approach, anyways.
