Exclusive Burger King Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II operator skin, a man with a beautiful mustache and Burger Town T-shirtis being sold on eBay for about half of the full game’s $69.99 asking price.
I will repeat that for your sake. Burger King, home of WhopperCooperation with Modern War II and bring from its hot grease a Call of Duty skin. It was a man with a nice mustache and a shirt that said Burger Town, CoD the franchise’s burgers and easter eggs, up there. The man, let’s call him Bobby, is listed on eBay for about $30.
This is not what Burger King intended. You have to buy the skin, which comes with an hour of double XP, as part of the fast food empire Modern War II meal, or Modern War II Baconator meal from Hungry Jack’s if you are in Australia.
But since the promotion is only available in 39 countries, excluding the US and UK, some people still crave the burger man and will do anything to get him. Elsewhere, places like Mexico and Saudi Arabia will allow customers to eat their fries from in one Modern War II Palace, CoD-themed Burger Kings. And in Paris, on October 29 and 30, customers will even be able to play the game on an order kiosk, Adweek report. Maybe they will Death next.
But I’m getting ahead of myself in the dream. Everyone can only think of mustaches right now. It’s too… full. Ebay history shows that resold skins will be for up to $39.99, although most sales are between $20 and $35, they’re all much cheaper than airfares. Burger King skins appear to be limited and not really region-locked, so if you spend nine point five Whoppers is out of bounds Call of Duty skin, at least you’ll be able to use it.
