Madden NFL 2008 To Introduce Real ‘Achievement Ring’

The past few years have been good to video games, but bad for gamers wallets. Very rarely are games released and that be the end of it. No, you have expansion packs, downloadable content or strategy guides… all of what will add to the ~$60 you’ve already paid for the game. Well, here’s a new one for you.

EA is going to introduce a feature in the upcoming version of Madden that will allow you to purchase a real-life mock-up Super Bowl rings. There are different models of the ring available, for different skill levels (aka how much you’ve accomplished in the game). If you want to purchase a ring to prove your Madden 08 skills, it will only set you back FIVE HUNDRED dollars. There’s no doubt that a ring to prove such accomplishments would really help you score with the ladies.

Progress further through the game and you can order a fancier ring. Which, unlike a real Super Bowl ring, which is earned, is showcasing only your ability at an electronic football game (and propensity for wasting up to $495 of real money).
