FRANCE —  Absoloo.com, a French e-retailer of adult novelties, is consoling the men and women who have lost their lovers to the newly released Diablo III video game with an opportunity to score a joy stick of their own.

Absoloo is giving away vibrators to those who participate in their new interactive social media marketing campaign. To receive a coupon code for the free sex toy, "game widows" must visit the store's Facebook page and post a photograph of themselves holding a copy of Blizzard Entertainment's horror/fantasy game.

The promotion is open to anyone regardless of gender and sexual orientation, but is only available to those living in France. Diablo III broke numerous presale records before its release on May 15 and currently holds the distinction of being Amazon.com's most pre-ordered PC title.
