    What odd promo items do you own?

    Heres one I found, Im surprised it lasted this long. Its a xbox 360 promo item for pepsi that says its closing date is sometimes in 2006. Beer mats normally last around 3 days never mind 4 years.

    Nintendo sent out a plaster hand model a few years back to a bunch of people, just plain creepy really.

    I'd sure love that "Pißwasser" beer bottle, a promo item for GTA IV. But at 20 GBP a piece I always passed... and probably still would.

    Didn't GTA do a promo razor blade and mirror? Also stuff like baseball bats and stingers.

    I bought one of the soda cans to celebrate the release of Oddworld on the original Xbox.
    It's an aluminum soda can filled with stuff I guess....never opened it.

    At a Nintendo press event in Paris years ago – around the time of the original Nintendo DS launch – I had a Nintendo-branded plasma lamp hidden under my coat. But a security guard caught me trying to steal it, and made me put it back before I could run back to my hotel room. Gutted.

    I've got a pretty cool "Resident Evil Outbreak" Survival pack, which includes a White doctor mask, and a special Metal water canister, (both with RE logos) i would post pics but its currently in storage.

    Yeah, I have the GTA Razor blades, they came on a dog tag style chain, pretty cool :).

    I've got alsorts of strange little promo items, my favs are probably the gaming related pin badges. I have a few early SMS button style badges for Thunder blade and Out Run which I particularly like as well as some Batman Returns Sega pin badges which I'm also rather fond of.

    My most recent promo item purchase was 'The Hulk Bulk'. Took me 3 years of searching but I finally found one just before Xmas, link below :).
