Thirsty? Well then you should get yourself down to your local 7-Eleven, because Nexon has launched a "Where You Play for Free” Slurpee drink promotion in the U.S., with Slurpee cups to feature imagery from Nexon's MapleStory, Mabinogi, Combat Arms and the yet to be released Sugar Rush.

7-Eleven customers also receive a collectible Nexon game DVD with the purchase of a 22-oz. or larger-size Slurpee beverage (while supplies last.) The DVD includes the four Nexon games on the branded cups.

In addition, each Nexon-themed Slurpee cup has an exclusive game code that is redeemable for customized 7-Eleven and Slurpee-branded in-game virtual items in the four games. Particularly notable: the game code also provides 7-Eleven customers access to participate in the closed beta of the Sugar Rush, scheduled to launch in early 2009.

“We’ve seen great success with the Nexon pre-paid cash cards and this partnership further solidifies 7-Eleven as a premier gaming destination,” said Brad Haga, 7-Eleven’s senior product director of services. “Free-to-play games are more popular than ever in North America, and with Nexon, we can deliver a dynamic experience for our customers looking for great entertainment.”
