Win a medal in 'buying Mario and Sonic'

Well, not so much "win" as "receive for free." And by "medal" we mean "pin with the game's logo on it." But other than that, this pin is just like an Olympic medal. Athletes win medals for excellent performance in Olympic events, and you can get this pin for going to GameStop and spending thirty-five dollars! It's the true Olympic experience.

This is the perfect accessory to let other DS fans know that "Yes, I'm the one who bought the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games." Or, more likely, the perfect eBay fodder to recoup some of the cost of the game.

Funny. I already have this pin thanks to my mom who said she got it at Gamestop when shopping this past Christmas.

Anyone else already have it?

Spending just $5 which is the minimum for a reserve would get you one of those. Then you can come in the next day and cancel the reserve, boom free pin.
