It is supposed to be with a purchase of a value meal. Whether they let you get one per meal or all three seems to be a store by store basis. I would assume the promotion is supposed to be one per meal, but lack of knowledgable employees = happy gamer.

I guess so. I called our BK the day before and asked the person on the phone if you had to buy anything, and they said no. I asked them to ask someone to make sure, and I heard them ask someone I assume was a manager, and they said no also. Sure enough, I went in the next day and bought 6 total games without buying food.
Personally, I think a lot of restaurants are taking advantage of a promotion like this and making people buy food when they didn't have to.

1 per meal here. I ended up eating part of 2 damn combos just so I could get 2 of the 3 games. when I tried to get them to just sell me the 3rd game they asked me if I wanted another combo. the bastards.

Burger King had a big Star Wars promotion last year, with a bunch of different toys available, and the "rules" on buying them seemed to vary from store-to-store. Some places made you buy food to buy a toy, other places didn't, and there were different prices for the toys depending on which location you went to. It was a real clusterfuck, basically.
Sounds like the same thing this time around, too.

Yeah, at the very least they should make you buy a meal... beyond that, the wording is pretty nebulous. I mean, they can't be making money off of the games themselves, they're just a vehicle to get people to buy their food.

I guess I didn't notice the wording on the sign. How dare they sell me games without making me buy food!

My BK sucks. They did have the games today (unlike yesterday), but I only ended up with one. So when ordering (in store), I told her I wanted one of each. I gave her my credit card and she told me $9-something. I told her that I wanted all three games, which she said I could not do (saying one per value meal). Now she had entered it all in the CC machine and I said fine and that I wanted another value meal then. At that point she told me to go to the end of the line (there were about 10 people in line). Pathetic.
I'll just have to drive to the next closest one and get the other two. I'm certainly not going back to that BK (El Cerrito, CA).
I ended up with Big Bumpin' tonight.
Maybe after another two value meals I will find something from BK that I like. I do usually like fast food, but have never found anything I liked at BK.

Has anyone seen the latest OXM? It's got a full-page ad for Sneak King, where it has a huge picture of the Burger King staring directly at you and it says, and this is not a joke, "Now Creepy On Multiple Levels." I was dying. I'll need to look for that one tomorrow. Are the other two even worth getting?

Sneak King is hilarious, but the camera controls are terrible. They are the counter-intuitive to what you'd think they'd be.

I was only able to get "Big Bumpin" but i think the guy i talked to was nice and let me have that one since i wanted that one more than the others (or he did end up picking up that one first).
Had to buy a meal and they were talking about only giving out the Bike game (for now) but, as i said, i got Big Bumpin.
I'd still like the Bike game though.

wouldn't budge on this as it's noted on the promotional material (menu board
posters and such).

But then again, I put them at a buy-it-now so I guess I screwed myself......
But at least I was also able to cancel my pre-orders and get my $5 back. I actually wanted to buy GOW LE from BB but all the ones near me didn't get them or sold out the first day.

But still, its 4 bucks, and I've already gotten 4 bucks of laughs out of it just watching my friends play it.
