7-Eleven customers also receive a collectible Nexon game DVD with [image-nocss] the purchase of a 22-oz. or larger-size Slurpee beverage while supplies last. The DVD features the four Nexon games on the branded cups so users can download these games onto their PC. Each Nexon-themed Slurpee cup has an exclusive game code that is redeemable for customized 7-Eleven and Slurpee-branded in-game virtual items in the four games. The game code also provides 7-Eleven customers access to participate in the closed beta stage of the MMO game Sugar Rush, which is scheduled to launch in early 2009. Customers can learn more by visiting http://slurpee.nexon.net.
"7-Eleven is a great advocate of free-to-play online games, and now millions of its customers will have the chance to join in the fun through the pre-loaded DVDs that allow them to quickly install our games with the click of the mouse," said Min Kim, vice president of marketing for Nexon America. "Then, once they're in one of our games, which span from role playing to first-person shooters, they can use the Slurpee game codes to access free, exclusive content."
To further commemorate the promotion, 7-Eleven also introduced a new promotional flavor, Vanilla Creme, a variation of vanilla that mixes well with other Slurpee flavors.
"We've seen great success with the Nexon prepaid cash cards and this partnership further solidifies 7-Eleven as a premier gaming destination," said Brad Haga, 7-Eleven's senior product director of services. "Free-to-play games are more popular than ever in North America, and with Nexon, we can deliver a dynamic experience for our customers."
