Have you played the Monopoly game @ McDonalds this year?

What should I get? 😕
 
I have. Got redbox rentals and snapfish prints, no EA sports promo codes.

If I were to get anything, I would get FIFA '12 for Xbox 360.
I'm a fan of American Football, but Madden looks less appealing/less highly rated.
 
I don't go to McDonalds.

That is a terrible prize btw, you'd still end up spending $40 or $50 on a mediocre game that you'd probably never play.

It's true.

Most EA games are overpriced, and retain little value for the sports games that are refreshed every year. $10 off of retail isn't much, it's probably McDonald's who gets money off of EA for giving these away as "prizes".
 
All I got was a stupid boardwalk piece... ate 4 burgers, 4 fries, and finished off 3 sodas trying to find park place. I gave up... whole thing is a scam.
 
I can't believe they still do this considering how corrupt the game was. Do they think people have no memories?

Well - maybe they're right about that.

Whats the story on that? Don't eat at mcdonalds very much and never paid attention to the game? Was it a sham?
 
Every time I hear about the Monopoly game I think of how many people throw out the one "rare" piece you need to win the big prize, since they may not pay attention to the game and don't know which ones are rare and which are common.
 
I played. The local place always rips me off by telling me they are not out of pieces on any items before I order at the drive thru. Then they tell me those items don't include pieces when THEY DO (Oatmeal, Fish sandwich).

Employees save/steal the packaging with the pieces at a lot of places.

I've noticed this at McDonalds in and around NYC for a long time.

Yeah. This was like the third day of the promo and they should not be used up. The day before, those same items had pieces. The drive thru menu lists those items as having pieces, but the inside menu doesn't. When I insist that those items are supposed to have pieces and I got pieces on them the previous day, the employee turns do another and says "dey don't spose to got pieces on doze, do dey?" ...then another employee "confirms" that they aren't supposed to have pieces...so they're basically calling me a liar.

Every. Fucking. Year.

that's why this promo has always been such genius. all the prizes are probably provided for free (or they actually pay for the advertising) and i'd wager most of the big ones never get claimed.
