Alright Ubisoft, or Best Buy, what the hell is this.

Always wanted a free football to throw at my friends while playing a game about pirate assassins! Maybe this is how you turn on your TV.

TheGreatLugia · Sep 6, 2013

Xbox One exclusive.

sappyday · Sep 6, 2013

Well at least it's something that will get some use.

Krakn3Dfx · Sep 6, 2013

Next Gen football confirmed.

Just not from EA.

GrizzNKev · Sep 6, 2013

Probably only included with the xbone version. You know, to toss around in your massive living room.

"We need to get more of the American 13-29 demo. I feel like we've tried everything here, guys. What else do they like?"

"Uh, this football thing seems to be catching on."

"Are you sure they wouldn't rather have a poster that doubles as a map?"

UnluckyKate · Sep 6, 2013

it makes sens. Jade said during the first gameplay demo at E3 200X that the chase gameplay must feel like US football

darkside31337 · Sep 6, 2013

I wonder if its a full sized football or a mini.

VeryGooster · Sep 6, 2013

At least put the Bucs logo on it, or something. And a Taco Bell coupon.

illmatic22 · Sep 6, 2013

FOOTBALL

Dead Prince · Sep 6, 2013

somewhere someone is thinking this is racist.

Shig · Sep 6, 2013

I wish more preorder things were like that, really. Exclusive DLC is worthless once you're done with the game. A pigskin to toss around is good forever.

Look at it this way

You buy a limited edition football from Best Buy (who usually doesn't sell them) and get AC IV for free.

I doubt it. But when you think about it, it's kind of sexist.

Assassins and football, think this confirms AC5 will have Aaron Hernandez as the protagonist.

Black Flag Football.

And that AC photoshop is amazing.

JawzPause · Sep 6, 2013

Lets try and figure this one out...
Black flag....All blacks.....rugby.....american football!
Ah now I see the link

Pic is from reddit. This football thing was big on r/gaming last week.

it's probably a mini football. big enough for both guys and girls.

Doug Heffernan · Sep 6, 2013

Some marketing guy actually thought this was a brilliant idea. lol

Azure Dream · Sep 6, 2013

I saw these in a Best Buy on Labor Day, I just assumed AC4 had some kind of football minigame or reference, didn't really consider the specifics of it.

Pirates invented American football confirmed. That explains the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders mascots.

It's been announced a few days ago

sk3tch · Sep 6, 2013

I saw this the other day in-store - it's a mini football to boot...and foam. So it really is useless. I couldn't even see myself wanting to play catch with it. So then you go to: is it a display item? Like, it looks good on a shelf? Nope. Just black with a logo on it. It's cheap.

Completely boggles the mind. It makes zero sense. They should have given out an Ezio Hot Wheels car or something, instead. At least it has desk potential.

airblade · Sep 6, 2013

Ahhhh.... "American Football"

You have to use that term on forums where people in other countries visit to avoid confusion and arguments.

UrbanRats · Sep 6, 2013

And here i was, thinking of Soccer.

todd44890 · Sep 6, 2013

Lol. This is hilarious. Whats next? Pre-order Watch Dogs and get a free sleeve of Nike golf balls?

i thought i was going to see something more big and soft.

Reule · Sep 6, 2013

The new Piece of Eden for ACIV is confirmed to be a football.

Because including a real football would be better.

Speedy Blue Dude · Sep 6, 2013

Sony going for the FootBall Market, confirmed!

It's mini and made of squishy foam. They're also giving out a retailer-exclusive DLC pack.

Bam Bam Baklava · Sep 6, 2013

Pre-order bonuses have become a joke. The GTA V blimp and now this?

Messofanego · Sep 6, 2013

It's called RUGBY.

Scoot2005 · Sep 6, 2013

Is this just for Best Buy... I really don't want to get that thing in the mail.

wat.

What retailer is giving out a blimp! I want it! I'll seriously go cancel my Gamestop Pre-Order and Pre-Order wherever they're giving out a mini blimp!

I don't see why people have a problem with FREE merchandise.

It's a football. You pre order a video game about pirates and get a football.

It's like those weird convenience store bundles where you buy some cookies and get a shaving cream free with it.

Its not an actual physical representation of an ACTUAL blimp you get... you get an IN-GAME Blimp in GTA
