Sports Interactive, well known for their Championship Manager, have signed a deal with Nestle to put demo's of their game on cereal packets.
Gone are the days where you sit playing a game on the back of a cereal box whilst eating, gone are the days when you fish out a little plastic toy from inside the cereal. Now you will be putting your hand in and picking up Championship Manager (for the PC I must point out).
Wicked?
Well for people who have not tried the game yet then yes, but who hasn't played Championship Manager?!?
The CD-ROM's are to be put in packets of Golden Grahams (yum) and Crunch (what is this?) in Spain and Cheerios (ok), Honey Nut Cheerios (sick) and Sporties (mmm)in the UK.
Now I must say...Nestle are pretty pants at cereal with that overview. I am a Kelloggs zealot! wooooo
The thing that gets me worried is that they are sticking Championship Manager in a Sporties packet when Sporties is meant to encourage being active and going out there and playing Sport's. Just read the packet, it tells you how great it is for your body etc. Great use that's gonna come in, sitting in a chair and all.
And this is all starting in May.
I want free Gamecube games in my cereal grrrr.
On topic though, I think that's a bit crap. You'll end up with loads of demos of the same game. I always got the same damn toy over and over when I had cereal.
