They are now trying to get people to buy the expansion #1 by throwing in a free poster...
I'm not joking!

Edit: I should have been more clear. I actually like it when companies throw in extra DLC, and I bought my copy from Gamestop just to get the special red sparrow. I just found the poster to be silly, and almost like they weren't able to get Bungie to whip up some special shader or something for them. I didn't mean "low" as in evil for making money, I meant "low" as in "not trying very hard". Perhaps I was just in a bad mood :P
Also, for everyone who DOES want the poster, don't worry, I'm sure it will be on eBay for $5 in a week or so. I got my blacksmith shader cheap that way.

I don't want a poster of Eris and her pussy ass. Psh.. She can't even kill Crota. Her team is a bunch of noobs
-
Those bastards I just got mine last weekend and no poster :(
-
They threw in a free poster with Pokemon but they didn't need help selling that so I don't see your point
-
By poster they really mean credit card application. They want your soul and the memories of your previous game experience.
-
Damn it I bought the limited edition. Luckily my cousin works at gamestop so I'll ask him for one :)
-
what !! i want a poster but i already bought the season pass. oh well i just buy it again
-
I want that poster.

So? This in no way is GS trying to help Destiny "Recover", sucker people into buying the DLC, or whatever it is you think they're doing. This is a smart business move. People are going to buy the expansion, GS wants that business. So now they're offering something nobody else is to help attract new or current destiny customers to their store and promote business.
-
Hey, you con look at it that way... OR you can choose to look at it if you CHOOSE to buy the expansion then you get a free poster. They're not forcing anything on you, it's just a neat little promotion.
-
Shame on a business for trying to make money! Those BASTARDS!
-
Damn them always looking to stay alive in the business world! Damn them!
-
It's more incentive for you to purchase from them rather than buying online. A lot of their business is being lost to digital sales.
-
How is that a bad thing? Gamestop - "Hey I know you could buy the DLC online but we appreciate your business. So here is a cool piece of free merchandising that you wouldn't have gotten from purchasing it online."
-
Free poster! Sign me up ;D
-
I don't understand why people buy dlc from gamestop. Save the trip and just buy it from home. ....
-
That's what they always do though..... Nothing new here
-
I want a poster :(
-
Damn just bought it yesterday, wish I would've went to Gamestop

I still wear my Gears of War 2 boxers that I got on the midnight release for being one of the first 30 through the door. Nothing wrong with that.
-
I like posters...is that wrong
-
They always give me free stuff, I got a poster and some other Destiny merc when I bought the game for my nephew.
-
lol Why is this a problem? They do this all the time. And I like posters...

Edited by CriminalClient: 12/5/2014 3:30:14 PMSo i don't get a poster for pre ordering the season pass. I am very upset game stop!
-
I'd pay 20 bucks for an awesome poster (even though I already have the season pass) :D
-
Complaining about freebies what have we come too....
