My Shin-Ra Electric Power Company ID Card
Posted by Flynn De Marco at 2:23 PM on March 27, 2008
As you might have read earlier, I attended last night's launch of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII at Sony's Metreon Centre in SF. While the lucky first hundred people got T-shirts, and some even won some great raffle prizes, anyone was allowed to go up and get their complimentary Shin-Ra Electric Power Company ID card. Being firmly in the "anyone" crowd, I stepped up to claim what will sure to be a valuable money maker on eBay some day. They snapped a quick photo and then we got to wait about twenty minutes while the thing processed and Voila... we were presented with our nifty prize in a little labelled envelope. As you can tell from my photo, I am an employee not to be trifled with.

Oh gosh... Flynn is sexy :"-) The card is very cool though. There's no corporate evil like a company that will burn souls for energy and/or making baubles. Represent!

Reminds me of the launch of The Life Aquatic With Team Zissou... you could go to their website, upload a photo, and generate your own printable Team Zissou membership card.

Just a word of advice.
Don't give your card to anyone, unless you're 100% sure he's from the Repair Division.

It's a dirty little secret of mine that I've wanted one of these since I was about 15. Sadly, I'd just fugly up the card with my lumber-pile of a face.

How did you get #0666?
Mine says 040 =/ They zoomed out too far on my portrait as well. Anyways the launch was well worth this piece of plastic and shinra shirt =)
