Best Buy offering $10 gas cash for Mario Kart preorder

Weirdest preorder bonus or what? I get it, it's a racing game, but I would think a lot of the people playing this don't even drive yet lol.

I bet it's aimed at parents who would see this as a bonus for buying MK8 for their children.

Thats honestly not so bad.

Yeah that sounds pretty weird....

Hey that's just $10 to a lot of people. That's pretty good.

But yes, pretty weird demographic to be targeting. I guess parents would be persuaded, so I can imagine it working.

indeed

This.

Anybody else notice the "8" on the boxart is a Möbius strip?

smart idea but what if im 9y old (the average age of Mario players)? Its a free ice cream i want, not fking gas for a car i don't own!

That's... supposed to be the point.

Yeah that's a weird bonus, but gas money in any amount is always really nice.

Odd but good offer for parents.

Why do you guys think its only good for parents, are you really that immature to believe Mario Kart is just played by kids? The opposite is the case, Call of Duty is the game which is loved and played by kids, not Mario Kart anymore. This is obviously targeting at older gamers which were grown up with Mario Kart games.

A nine year old will never look out for preorder bonuses. ;)

That's a very odd preorder bonus, it's $10 off the price though so it's more useful than most.
