Inside today's package was a large white rock with the words Fossil Fighters cut into its surface. Digging deeper into the shredded paper that filled the box I also found a chisel, a brush and a large piece of brown paper.

To work then.

Inside was a cornucopia of Bionic Commando goodies including an action figure, polo, poster, lanyards and the swankiest USB drive I've ever seen. All of this, as usual, is destined for this year's Child's Play Funde Razor in Denver.

At last week's Captivate 09 event, Capcom handed out sealed packs of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite freebies that included a little Playstation Portable case, a figure, two buttons and a sticker. Pretty cool. What's cooler? The two Monster Hunter 5th Anniversary beer coasters found at the bar the night before? Way cooler.

The PR folks on hand at the giveaway admonished all attendees not to sell them on eBay because they would know where they came from. So go look right now and see how much they're up to. We'll be giving ours away during the annual Child's Play fundraiser.

Inside: Bags of crisps, a few candy bars and these odd things from Anatomicals. Rumor has it that a few of the writers present were brave enough to slap an energy patch or two on their arms a day into the event. I was not one of them.

I'll be giving the laptop bag and Anatomical stuffs away during our annual fundraiser later this year. If you're planning on a trip to Denver this winter, you should come then and play Rock Band on stage.

I love the skin, but those are my two least favorite characters. To enter for a chance to win, just head on over to their site and write up your review of the Watchmen movie in 50 words or less. Each review comment will be put into a drawing for several "Watchmen" prizes, including a Watchmen game and the Xbox. It features photos of Silk Spectre II and Nite Owl II.

The designs by artists Augustine Kofie, Jeff Soto, and Coop can be seen within the game and on some limited edition apparel, prints and other items.

Rockstar sent along three shirts to Kotaku featuring art from the three artists and I have to say I was mildly disappointed in Coop's shirt. My favorite among the three is Soto's. Kofie's is OK as well, but I'm not a fan of his Cubist, Abtract art.

Well, I suppose you could get away with wearing the Alderney, Algonquin, Bohan, Broker & Dukes. shirt to the local chapter of the resident one percenters club.

Seen here is a pretty spiffy LittleBigPlanet-themed desk calendar that reader Renor, from Poland, received as a promotional item from SCEP. The book is about 400 pages thick.

Electronic Arts sent me a freezer box this morning packed with Skate 2 assets and two frozen steaks. I'm pretty sure I won't be storing that in my closet until November. But what's this about the two 6 ounce steaks being "prepared fresh from the Hall of Meat"?

It's people. Skate 2 is made out of people!

Sony, sensing my distress from across the San Francisco Bay, saves the day with not one but TWO oversized T-shirts I will never wear. Except for today, because going to a final naked is poor form.

Home goes live December 11.

Why, that's today!

In fact, only 500 of these figures were made (this is 129 of 500). How much would you pay for this bit of bloody gaming schwag?

Just last summer Microsoft tried to jump start PC gaming with an ad-heavy, pr-pushed launch of Games for Windows Live. The PC-clone of the popular Xbox 360 online service was meant to bring the some respect, popularity and profitability that console games have been seeing of late.

But the thing is, it didn't really take.

First you had the problems with telling PC gamers they needed to pay for something they've always gotten for free. So Microsoft did away with that, then you had competing services that were, frankly, about a gajillionbillion times better. (cough)Steam(cough). So now, not daunted by facts, or figures, or reality, Microsoft is relaunching Games For Windows Live with another PR push, this one containing a free Sidewinder keyboard, mouse, a mouse pad, headphones and copies of James Bond Quantum of Solace and Fallout 3.

Why don't they just look into handing Valve the keys to the dwindling PC kingdom and get on with making some kick ass software, like Gears of War 3?

All perfect to add to the growing mountain of schwag I've been saving up for this year's Funde Razor in Denver.

Good news then for fans of the game, Sam’s Club just announced that they will be the only retailer in the U.S. offering one of these looming statues for auction on their site.

The statue current high big is a whopping $1, but I suspect that over the next 13 days or so it might jump a bit higher. Get in there and start bidding if you’re interesting in having the coolest lawn ornament in town.

The digital clock, which just arrived on my doorstep, is part of Bethesday Softworks fabulous Fallout 3 Survival Edition box set which also includes an art book, a making of DVD, a bobble head and a metal lunch box. Oh, also the game, it includes the game.

Hit the jump for some close ups of this must have special edition.

The thick leather(ish) seat pad has Guitar Hero World Tour stitched into the top and features three sturdy metal folding legs. Yep, it's just like any other drum throne but with fancy stitching. Pretty handy for long sessions of faux drumming though.

Among the freebies that we are giving away with our schwag bag are tons of t-shirts (including pretty sweet Fruit Fucker and The Maw shirts) , a Fallout 3 survival guide, a World of Warcraft pet card from this year's WWI in Paris (the Blizzard guys were kind enough to hand one over to us), a ping-pong gun and plenty of little do-dads.

OK, so how should we do this. Any suggestions?

A blue, black and grey PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 will go to the winner and runner-up of this year's Omegathon, with the winner also landing themselves a trip to the Tokyo Game Show.

If you're hitting the show and not one of the lucky few selected to compete in the Omegathon you can still get your hands on some PAX-themed goodies.

Among the stuff you can buy is a DeathAdder mouse from Razer with a PAX logo slapped on it. Only 400 of these were made and they'll set you back $60. A Collectors Edition copy of On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode One, which comes with a shirt, a keyring and a die, will also be on sale at the show.

As always we will be liveblogging the big press conferences, starting with Microsoft tomorrow morning, here on Kotaku. This year round we will be using our new liveblog software which should make for a steadier flow of information, more pics and tons more analysis. To celebrate we've decided to giveaway three batches of impressive swag at each conference. What are we giving away? I don't want to spill the beans quite yet, but I can say it includes some autographed things, some limited edition numbered items and even an original game-themed oil canvas.

To win you'll just need to hang out in our comments during the Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo Live blogs and participate. Consider it our other present to you.
