In addition to handing out nifty posters for God of War III pre-orders, 7-Eleven and Sony Computer Entertainment of America will be teaming up next month for God of War “Kratos Fury” Slurpees in Kratos cups. Hopefully they don’t actually taste like Kratos. Here’s a bit from the press release:
Starting on February 1 through March 31 God of War fans can collect all four exclusive Kratos-themed cups at their local, participating 7-Eleven while quenching their thirst with Kratos Fury, a blackberry and lime-flavored Slurpee beverage created by Mountain Dew and 7-Eleven specifically for the Kratos Slurpee program. With each Slurpee purchase fans can collect codes that can be redeemed at www.Slurpee.com for God of War and Slurpee-themed content in advance of the general public release.
I rarely go to 7-Eleven, but I’m sure as hell going next week for some Kratos Fury! Who’s coming with me?!?
Are xbox fans and people who don't own PS3s allowed to consume kratos slurpees?? I might have to get one of these…
I'm sorry, but any one with that much makeup on does not scream B.A. to me. (That and everyone knows Kratos Aurion is the bigger B.A. :P )
@bsukenyan Yes, but imbibing it might make you drop money on a PS3 a few minutes later.
@Sandrock323 That's not makeup! He's just pale, like WWE Champion Sheamus.
@Raymond Padilla
Meeeee!!
@Sandrock & Raymond Padilla
Actually, Kratos is not wearing make up nor is he pale. He was cursed to be covered in the ashes of his dead wife and kid who he killed.

If my wife agrees to go to my brother-in-law's brother's wedding in L.A., then I will go with you as well.
@RROD:
Awww, you just ruined the best part of the GOW1 story for him. The ending of the first game was probably one of the most memorable game climaxes EVER! A truly epic experience that I think was ahead of it's time.

@RRODisHere Yes, I know that. I just think it's funny to have a pale man from the Mediterranean, similar to how it's funny that the WWE Champion is pale when almost everyone else is on a tanning salon regimen.
@Iceman
Now that you mention it, I probably shouldn't have said that. Oh well, I don't think he's interested anyway.
MMMMMMM……bloody brain freeze……..
@RROD
No access to game, but its story was ruined for me long ago anyway.
@Ray. Well that might be a risk I'm willing to take. As soon as I find a 7-11 around here.
damn too bad 711 isnt in houston
@redtailman Hrm. I thought 7-Eleven was omnipresent. In the last five years, I've actually been to more 7-Elevens in Asian cities than American ones.
@ Redtailman;
That is very unusual since the Southland Company started 7-11 in Dallas, TX. I also know that they opened up their first 24-hour store in Austin, TX about 50 years ago. It's really weird that they don't have a store in Houston. About 20 years ago, Southland sold the company to Ito Yokado and it's been a Japanese company ever since. That's why, Mr. Padilla, so many 7-11s can be found in Asia. I think that is their #1 market. Anyway, I had the pleasure of meeting the chief operating officer for the 7-11 US subsidiary a few years ago, Masaaki Asakura. Nice guy, but couldn't understand a friggin word he was saying.

@rpad you would think that but all 21 years of my life i have lived in houston and i have never seen one here but every other major city i have been to in texas has one so i kinda find it wierd there isnt one here
I admit I’m a sucker for stuff like this, but there’s no 7/11’s for at least 60, 70 miles where I live. The ironic thing is, I’m going to be up around Chicago this weekend, where they’re all over the place, if I’m not mistaken. I’ll miss out on this by a day.
I remember when they did promotions like this for the Hulk, and it was a huge "angry" green slurpee. HUGE!!!!
