Here's the same spot in the store, only in a different part of the show. Same price, different product. :P Even Lester and Jeff changed positions!

Chuck is well known for its product placement of games. Tabula Rasa and City of Heroes were two NCsoft games which were placed in plain sight before. There is also an episode in which Call of Duty is the solution to all problems.
NCsoft hired some company to do product placement some time back, but if that is a direct result can not be said.

I wasn't the only one that saw that. Wonder what it cost to get that spot?

I saw something similar on Two and a Half man, in Jake's room, kinda funny.

That's pretty cool. The problem is now there will be an influx of nubs who watch that show. At least it was Factions and not Nightfall or EoTN. I wouldn't pay $150 either way though.

I have to admit that show is one that I tend to watch on a weekly basis and get quite a few lols out of it. And to top it off we get some gw plugs, albeit with crappy pricing posted.

Dang it, I was waiting to get a screenie of it to post. 
I was surprised to see that to say the least, 'twas kind of fun seeing something like that on my favorite show.

I do watch Big Bang theory like someone mentioned though - I remember an epiosde where Penny was addicted to Age of Conan. I love when online games appear in shows, not to mention the WoW episode of South park

Guild Wars - ~6 million copies sold
I'm not surprised at all.
Vilaptca
YES! I saw that! I was laughing harder at the price tag than anything else.
Sir Skullcrasher
quick someone do a parady of Chuck and put bunch of GW products on there!! We need Nightfall, Prop, Factions, and EOTN! Also mark them up to the awesome price of $1 million dollars each!! lol

Sir Skullcrasher
Guess the community peeps are happy that A-Net's products are being put out in public viewing! Imagine if it was a box saying GW2 instead of Factions. How much chaos that would cause!!

I was wondering who payed who, or who asked who to put that box there, cause I know TV shows don't do product placement like that without permission. (or maybe Im just wrong, i dunno lol)
pumpkin pie
does anyone know how long before an ad like this will see results?
i know if i see that on tv, i'd be like, Mom! look! thats the game i'm playing. but to someone who does not play video games will they care, or if that someone plays video games do they know its an mmorpg that stands for. will the price tag scare the shit out of potential buyers? and did sale goes up already?

If that blonde one is not in the pic, then I'm not interest.
Factions is £9.99 from GAME. btw.

Well that would actually be a cheap price if it was the collector's edition
Too bad they don't really sell Factions in stores anymore

I was just about to come make a thread on this as I'm watching the show currently and I seen that and I was like hahaha.

This is actually the second time GW has been seen on Chuck. During one of the shows first few episodes in season one Chuck was sitting on the couch reading a gaming magazine with a GW ad on the back. There was a thread here about it but I'm not gonna dig around for it.
Anyway, Chuck is an awesome show! If you're not watching it you should

Are you really so disconnected from reality that it bothers you when you encounter new players that aren't experts in a silly RPG?
