Have you ever wondered what the new (and old) TV commercials from Pogo look like? Now’s your chance. Pogo is featuring their six television commercials on this page. The first three are brand new, for Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, and Bingo Luau. The next two have been aired in the past on different networks, like Lifetime and GSN. There’s also one that’s never been aired before, for First Class Solitaire.

Hey UK players: don’t forget that tonight is Bingo Night. Join in the social and earn 6,000 free tokens when you play Bingo Luau. Meet in either “Eyes Down (UK)” or “Legs Eleven (UK)” to socialize from 7 to 8 pm (although playing in any room at any time during the day will get you your tokens).

It’s Casino Night again! Don’t forget to play Ride The Tide, Vaults of Atlantis Slots, and High Stakes Poker for 2,000 tokens for each game.

Some people have reported being able to get their 6,000 tokens twice during the day, once in the morning and once later in the evening. Try it out today!

Do you ever get the feeling that the Letters to the Editor are made up just for marketing purposes, to “leak” some news about upcoming events? We sure do. It seems these days that the Letters to the Editor always contain a few obligatory letters asking (out of the blue to some) for new games, mini items, special badges, or mini pets and — oh shocker! — the Editor always seems to have the right answer, that these items are in fact coming soon.

For example, the badge to the right was just created by Pogo’s artists and obviously will be given out to Club Pogo members to celebrate Club Pogo UK’s 1st birthday (September 25, btw). Shortly thereafter, out comes this week’s UK Letters to the Editor which has a very perceptive and inquisitive Martin asking “Seeing as Pogo UK is going from strength to strength and we now have a Club Pogo UK, will we be able to have a UK birthday badge as well as the USA one?” Coincidence? We think not. At least we know from the Editor’s response that the badge will be given to all Club Pogo members on Club Pogo UK’s 1st birthday, not just our friends across the pond.

With that said, there will probably also be a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and some UK-related mini items coming with the special badge around the end of September.

If you’ve ever wanted to link directly to your Pogo.com profile, you’ll be able to do that soon! In addition, Pogo is revamping their profiles with a whole page of information showing your profile stats, your mini, your favorite games, badges, and a lot more. This should be released next Tuesday with maintenance, but if you can’t wait, take a look at Pogo’s Check it Out!

…like next-week soon! According to this marketing page on Pogo.com, Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition is coming soon. But according to this Hasbro Monopoly Page, all versions of the game will be released simultaneously next week in order for users to break a World Record on multiple formats: the board game, online, or on your mobile phone or video game console.

According to the Pogo page, the game will be available to both Club Pogo and non-Club Pogo members (although Club members will get exclusive ‘movers’ — their word for ‘pieces’ — which will feature Pogo characters). You’ll be able to play with up to 3 human or computer opponents with four sets of customizable game rules. The best news to us is that we’ll be able to play a full game in just 30 minutes!

Look for this game to be released probably next Tuesday (the 26th) with maintenance so that Pogo.com may feature their version for the World Record event on the following day.

Update 8/20: According to this press release (which also lists the cities which will be featured in the game), Monopoly “will be available for download on mobile phones or free online at www.Pogo.com starting September 3, 2008.”
