    EA took over a petrol station in the UK and started to give out free fuel! This apparently has something to do with Mercs 2, but it also caused chaos during rush hour. For those of you who don't know, petrol prices in the UK and Europe are about equal to $11 a gallon, so people are taking advatage of this...

    It's worked well. Look at all the free promotion they are getting in the UK press. It has even made me come to Giantbomb to find out more about the game.

    Still not going to get it.
