Guest Melanie650 Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 I noticed that other than a few boxes in EB Stores, Battlecruiser Millenium has had no kind of advertisement at all. I think there are alot of people out there who would enjoy a game like this but just don't know about it. I know alot of great games that haven't sold due to the fact that no one knows about em. I hope this isn't the case with this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolferz Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 BCM will sell itself. No need for ads. Word of mouth is always the best advertisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Besides, I don't think 3000AD Inc. can afford any ads. After all, we first need to fill SC's wallet and send him to Hawaii for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EB has had ads in game mags, oversized BCM boxes and posters in stores etc.Dunno how you missed them, but thats been going on for over six months. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korono Lakeela Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hell, they have a big poster in the window at EB over here.....I almost fainted when I saw the glorious site! [ 10-14-2001: Message edited by: Korono Lakeela ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravonaf Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 SCI know the 2 local EB stores in my area pulled thier displays back during the summer. They had nice big display boxes back in July. I've been to both stores within the past week and I don't see anything. Maybe it's something you could bring up with them. Then again maybe it's just the 2 stores in my area (Newport News and Hamtpon VA). I thought you might like to know.Ravonaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urza Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 My EB also showed an oversized BCM box, but I don't see it anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soback Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 The 2 EBs I go to are loded with BCM ads. Box, poster, and some little cd cases (about 15) with BCM picture on them. I like the Big BCM box the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_wilco Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Wait a sec...wait...ok, I'm sure this time. I got an idea...Remember the EB games billboard in the BCM Ep 2 demo? Advertisers could PAY you to put ads in BCM on bases! Maybe that's not such a good idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real_Lucas Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 what a great way to jack up the price of a computer game...oh and while were at it, instead of cutscenes to illustrate the story, why not about 20 minutes of commercials? my god, I hope some ad exec doesn't push for THAT!

Rico Jansen Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 I believe th SC put those adds in as a curtousy to EB. Totally on his free will. As a way to thank EB for the way they supported him, or because he appreciated the business relationship they have. I don't believe EB send him any money for it.

Hasenau Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 No ads? I've seen a lot of them in Bayside Shopping Center and various other stores in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
