Zynga is celebrating the DVD/Blu-Ray release (here in the USA) of the upcoming crime/gangster movie Public Enemies with a special loot event starting Sunday.

Event Details:
Start: Sunday (o6dec2009 12:01a PST)
Ends: Wednesday (09dec2009 11:59p PST)

Reflections from Top Mafia:

• We are becoming increasingly accustomed to these “Loot Events”.  I personally like them a lot but I think that Zynga could still offer more rewarding equipment (not only during these events, but also from their 25 Godfather Reward Points weekly offers).
• I will give Zynga some props for NOT having a Pop-Up “publish to my facebook Wall” and instead having something that we can choose to publish to our walls if we would like to.  I think most people have enough “common” sense to not need an antagonizing box in their face every-time they loot a special event item.
• I also like the Factoids that were included on some of the loot items.  Although some of this seemed to serve as an additional advertising mechanism the additional info surrounding a particular item was nice.
  • Dillinger’s Wooden Gun
    Factoid: To this day, John Dillinger is the most famous inmate Indiana State Penitentiary has ever held. Test your gangster movie knowledge on the Public Enemies Blu-ray™ feature “Gangster Movie Challenge.”

  • Fur Coat
    Factoid: Despite being deprived of sleep and interrogated for two straight days by special agents, Billie Frechette never gave the Bureau any information on John Dillinger. Test your gangster movie knowledge on the Public Enemies Blu-ray™ feature “Gangster Movie Challenge.”
