Dante's Inferno 'Greed' promotion is the least offensive yet

Aside from the special totally metal wallpaper image made for the occasion (and downloadable in our gallery), the latest Deadly Sin-inspired promotional tactic for Dante's Inferno fails to offend our sensibilities at all. Maybe this was the reason for the fake protest, repugnant booth babe contest and arm-shaped cakes -- to make us feel not just relieved, but grateful for marketing that doesn't make us ashamed of our industry.

So what is the "Greed" promotion? According to EA, pre-ordering the game tomorrow from GameStop will get you savings of $6.66 (get it?). Is it even greedy to spend $53.33 instead of $59.99? That's a lot of money coming out of your pocket either way. Taking advantage of a small discount like that sounds prudent to us. Almost virtuous.
