  News > Michael Phelps Gets A Special Gift From Treyarch & Activision!

That’s right; Olympic world record setting, 8-time gold medalist Michael Phelps was featured on CBS News’s “Early Show” this morning. He talks about his achievements, his new-found fame, and experiences during and after his phenomenal showing at the 2008 Olympics.

What’s different about this interview is that at the end, Maggie Rodriguez presents Phelps with an early copy of Call of Duty: World at War. As it turns out, Michael Phelps is a big Call of Duty fan, so we wanted to give him the first copy of CoD:WW. It’s well deserved Michael!

Now what you didn’t see is the “I O U” card that was contained within =D… Yes, unfortunately the game isn’t quite finished yet, but it’s close. We’ll be sending Michael the first disc off the production line though later this year, we promise!

Watch the video on CBS News, which has been embedded below for your convenience.

Congratulations Michael on your outstanding performance in the pool this year, and we wish you continued success in the future. See you on the battlefield!
