Um... I don't recall actually making that argument... But yeah GR you are right, it wouldn't be free at all actually, but it would be something that lets you pick what game you want to get.
The advantage OB1 is that if you don't WANT the pack in game you can get another one that you actually DO want.
SJ, your idea has one flaw. If I got a coupon in each of those games I got, I would just get my free bongos for each and every single game. There's no way they could prevent it. What, like some text reading "only if you don't already have bongos" is going to do anything? It's not like I'm going to bring my "Not already owning bongos" to the store to show the clerk to prove I don't have them.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
