They must really be starving for preorders.
Of course, I can see why. $54.99. Blah.

GameStop has a similar deal
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=B210410A
Dead or Alive Ultimate with Bonus! $54.99
-An exclusive Xbox Costumed Kasumi Figure
-Special Limited Edition Dual Case with one disk in each box and 2 trading cards!
-2 Months of Xbox Live Service FREE!(For new Xbox Live customers only.)
Hey, considering the 3-month-XBL subscription is $18 retail for itself, I don't think it's that bad of a deal at all (not to mention the wall scroll would probably be cool...depending on which characters are on it ;) ). Definatly better than picking it up the day it's released for $50 and not getting a wall scroll, 3 month XBL subscription, or trading card.

-2 Months of Xbox Live Service FREE!(For new Xbox Live customers only.)That's a better deal if you don't need the XBL subscription. You won't get the bonus items untill the game ships from either stores, so that kind of hurts the deal for me. Still, nice freebies that come with this game and it looks to be a nice fighter. :)

I wonder if I should cave into one of these pre-orders or hold off for a better deal or lower price at release. Any advice?

Maybe Cheapy can work his magic and get us $40 right before it gets released, like he did for Fable. :D

Is this in store also? I would like to get both the scroll and the Kasumi figure, if they were available in store, I could put a reservation in both stores, and once I got the extra stuff, I can roll the reservations towards something else.

The Trading Cards and Special Limited Edition Dual Case with one disk in each box are supposed to be in all of the First Editions of DOAU like the lenticular cards were with DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball.

Thanks CapAmerica for the shipping codes.
It was mentioned on the Tecmo DOA forums a while back about the extra goodies for the first pressing of the game. Unless anything has changed it was not store specific. It is supposed to come in a box similar to the GTA Double Pack.

I preordered it from Gamestop instore. The guy told me they haven't received the figures and check back later for one. I think I got screwed.
I can't get the IGN link to work. Oh well. You get free overnight shipping at the IGN store plus the GameStop bonuses.

Okay so regardless of where you order from you get the dual case and the cards. You just have to choose between the wall scroll or the figurine, correct?

Oh and a correction, the EBGames deal only has a 2 month Live subscription with it, not 3.
Plus you also get 2 cards from both places, NOT 1 from EB and 2 from Gamestop.

I guess, or he/she is mixing up EB's and Gamestop's websites...

On my last post, I sorta screwed up on the he/she thing. :lol:
I do think that he/she just mixed up the websites. I don't have a clue how, but it could happen.

No I swear to god it says the exact same thing for me except for 2 cards and 2 months. Seriously, I wouldn't make something up like this to argue over.
Also I figured out the shipping, I was clicking to remove it ><

last night they were differnt, but I checked them this afternoon and they where changed. I guess EB had a mistake in their info.
EBWorld:

GameStop:
Bonus Offer! - Preorder Dead or Alive Ultimate and receive an exclusive Xbox Costumed Kasumi Figure FREE! Kasumi is drop "dead" gorgeous in her new Xbox themed costume!
Preorders for DOA Ultimate will be shipped in Special Limited Edition Dual Case with one disk in each box and 2 trading cards!
Plus for the for a limited time only you will also receive 2 Months of Xbox Live Service FREE!(For new Xbox Live customers only.)
Was kicking myself earlier this year when the free Kasumi figure deal was offered on Tecmo's website but there was a glitch in there system that prevented me from being able to complete the order.
Glad IGN's offering the same deal now, tax-free and free overnight shipping to boot! :D

I want the figure too (the wall scroll at EB is similar to the one they offered with Ninja Gaiden with Ryu on it, not too exciting anymore) But judging from the (tiny) picture of the figure, it looks like cheap plastic. But still it is free, but I bet stores like Target BestBuy will have it on sale very soon...
