Gift of Madden 07 became gift of pr0n

Man enough for the game, but so weak he's got to use, ahem, assistance.This is either an R-rated practical joke on some kid's Christmas present, or EA may be moving into a... er, new line of business. A 14 year-old kid in Layton, Utah, unwrapped his brand-new Madden '07 game, then popped it into his brand-new Xbox 360, but the picture that greeted him on the startup wasn't exactly Shaun Alexander. It was, to use the language of the StandardNET, hard-core, not grid-iron.

"This is definitely not Madden," was the first thought the kid had, and it most certainly was not. Right now, the offending game is the subject of an investigation of the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children's Task Force, along with Layton police and California authorities. The game was purchased by the kid's uncle in a Circuit City in Modesto, California. It looked authentic, down to the disc and the factory-sealed case.

Electronic Arts hasn't returned press calls or calls from the family for comments regarding this incident. When asked, a spokesperson for Circuit City said that company officials were unaware of the problem until they were contacted by the press. To their knowledge the retail chain hasn't fielded any similar complaints but they have noted that they are now investigating the matter. Then again, they weren't accidentally selling refurbished PSPs with "free gifts", either - that's another chain entirely.

while not quite like this, I've bought a copy of GTA 2 that actually had Nascar Rumble or some crappy nascar ps1 game and have also received an OPM demo disk that was really the second dvd of a 9/11 concert. It happens.

Maybe it is just ironic, but this seems a little odd.
