Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition
gadgetking writes "When I first saw this I thought it was a joke — the Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition. Seriously? I mean I like my COD first person shooter game as much as the next nerd but this really shows how mainstream video games have become. From the article: 'The Jeep brand today announced it has been named exclusive automotive partner by Activision for Call of Duty: Black Ops, and that they're making a COD Jeep. Hitting show floors next month, this limited-edition Jeep Wrangler will be available for a MSRP of $30,625 for the two-door model and $33,500 for the four-door. The 2011 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition comes standard with "aggressive 32-inch tires, unique military style and Call of Duty graphics."'"
What's the American name for "rice-boy"? I can hardly wait for the "Where's Elmo" Edition of the Pacer..
For justice, we must go to Don Corleone
This particular marketing stunt has precisely one useful function... to make me feel slightly less bad about having a pre-order in for the £150 Gran Turismo 5 special edition.
That said, at least the Wrangler does actually seem to be real. God only knows if my £10 deposit on GT5 will ever translate into anything tangible.
Truck nerds (better known as rednecks -- me included) meet Game nerds.
Puny COD Jeep. COD Jeep make F250 angry.
Sure there's respawn. You just have to convert to Hinduism or Buddhism.
Unfortunately, you drop all items, and your experience level is reset.
