I thought the same when both his Albums sold so many copies. The guy is marketing gold.

Hell, if I was shot a gazillion times I'd be able to sell anything!

it's a sad, sorry state of affairs.

Gamers [...] have enthusiastically responded to the groundbreaking fusion of frenetic gameplay [...] in 50 Cent: Bulletproof

Ex-squeeze me?? :confused:

Some people will buy any old tosh as long as it has a celebrities face on it.

Exactly. Serious double standards.

The game isn't the worst game ever, shows how far you can get with some clever marketing and a big name

While I was working for a well known high street retailer I think probably about 75 - 80% of the people brought this game back within 10 days, the others normally traded it in

The real question is how many people bought the game purely for the exclusive music tracks that where included? Artificially boosting video game sales 4tl :rolleyes:

thing is the same could be said if it was quake 4 and had a popular band's music on there with exclusive tracks...
only thing he's doing atm is making a bucket load of cash for having a good marketing technique. its not like he's charging £10+ ontop of what other games/albums cost either

Same could be said for any game but it isn't common practice is it

Granted its good marketing, all I was pointing out was that the figures would not align themselves to other games as this was a 'bundle' and there where probably quite a few people who bought this bundle without even having a console to play the actual gameon.
