GameStop US and Canada offering a free week of Haze

The business strategy is a bit in doubt, but if GameStop is serious about this offer, then who are we to complain? The retailer is offering a free week of Haze in both the U.S. and Canada. Well, free to a degree at least. Details in the full article.

Play Haze for a week! For free! Well, not exactly for free, but it’s as close to free as you’re gonna get. GameStop is offering a pre-purchase deal for the game in the U.S. and Canada, basically offering Free Radical‘s Haze for free for a week.

There’s a catch, though. First you have to pre-purchase the game, then you pay for it. Yes, we know, you still pay for it, but wait for it. You bring it home, get your Haze groove on.

After a week, you have to return the game (ideally, after finishing the game). Once you return it, you get in-store credit for the full amount you paid for the game. Sweet huh?

Ok, so you don’t get your plain old cash back, but if you’re planning to buy another game after finishing Haze, then you basically played the game for free, sorta like a free rental.

Haze is set to come out on May 20. We’ll keep you posted on both the game and on more GameStop deals, so check back for updates.
