Is the community for Warhawk still even active?

Yes

Is this only at gamestop?

I see Twisted Metal has a "limited edition" too which you can get at different retailers. I know Battlefield 3 and BFBC2 did the same sort of thing. Just wasn't limited to one place.

>>>NVM playstation site says "exclusively" at gamestop.

This Warhawk, not PS3.

I never bought Warhawk. Might jump on Starhawk, but I got 2 pre-orders already. My wallet can't take the abuse forever.

That's a lot of stuff for a free upgrade. I guess I'll have to take a trip to GS here sometime this week.

My cheap ass cynicism is going off like klaxons. None of this stuff is physical, its all Download stuff that they either already had or added on. I'd say even the map packs were probably taken out to use as DLC.

So in essence its just another thing Sony is using (along with a guaranteed online pass requirement) to destroy used sales of this game.

I liked Warhawk. I paid $40 for it, with a headset.
I already have the original Warhawk in long-box form.
I really want to buy Starhawk, but shenanigans like this really piss me off.

Going to have to agree, this isn't a bunch of "free" stuff that you are getting, this is just a "free" upgrade to the actual full game that is already made.

I might get this if newegg doesnt have its $48 preorder sale as much as I hate gamestop one new game purchase for the whole year from them isnt bad

I know right? If they were REALLY cool they would give us the maps for free and just post another large quarterly loss or something.

Yep, didn't see the map pack addition before I posted the first time. That just reeks of forcing people who don't buy the limited edition to fork over extra money for content that is already on the disc. It's not even the PS3 version of Warhawk, but rather the original that was on PSOne. I'll still get it but that really sucks for people who plan on buying it used.

They are giving away the warhawk for ps1 not ps3 version.

There's a whole list of cool things in the CE thread. Maybe they could try to add some value to the Limited edition instead of charging for every little damn thing that used to be included.

em, nobody cares about people who buy it used except people who buy it used.

"Waaah, I don't get the same things as the people who paid more money!". Ridiculous.

the gamestop hate is asstarded. there is no reason for this to have 2 stars.

I'm shocked.. the industry trend has been to release a similar package as CE for $20 extra or to charge for an online pass and we have people whining about a developer rewarding people for buying day one with extras? You have got to be kidding me. Heaven forbid these guys try and have a good showing of week 1 sales (the benchmark of a games success) by offering FREE content for consumers who buy at MSRP. (1 month of free PS+, a PS1 game, etc)

I personally remember Santa Monica supporting this games predecessor for at least a year after release (adding support for DS3, trophies and Home integration) as well as adding some game modes for free via patching and addressing stat-padding exploits. This is absolutely a fan friendly franchise and I am all about supporting this developer with a GS pre-order to help ensure more of the same with this iteration of their franchise. Everyone whining can close the thread and go back to whichever annual CoD rip-off fest you're accustomed to with the other "me me me"s and racists that love to pay MSRP for marginal annual updates.

For what it's worth, there is a large difference between a "limited edition" available at every retailer with bonuses for anyone that buys it new (think things like Darksiders 2 with the first dlc free, or Bulletstorm, etc) and a "limited edition" that is ONLY available at Gamestop. While it may simply be my opinion, the first of those is a fan friendly developer trying to reward people for buying day one. The second of those is not fan friendly, it is a company taking a chunk of money from Gamestop in exchange for removing part of their game and offering it as a Gamestop exclusive, which is the one company you will never find a day one monetary deal on (credit, lowered price, etc).

Trying to lead people to only purchase their games from Gamestop is the opposite of fan friendly.

I have no problem with retailer-exclusives. I'm sure there are at least some situations where dlc, etc only exist because some retailer wanted an exclusive. I'd rather those add-ons exist than not exist at all.
