Space Marine has a bunch of special pre-order goodies right now

http://www.spacemarine.com/buy

However, the best one out at the moment is $44.99 on STEAM for the regular version with a FREE copy of darksiders as well as a blood ravens armor skins pack.

If anyone has any coupons for the THQ store, we could possibly get a better deal on the non-steam version.

id actually preorder if i could get the free darksiders for the 360 version. im not sure this game is going to be good though so ill just wait.

I'd be willing to bet money that Space Marine turns out to be an epic game. So far all of the Warhammer 40k titles released by THQ and gamesworkshop have been outstanding. In addition, the gameplay videos are pretty entertaining.

I would be pre-ordering the collector's edition right now if SOMEONE had a THQ STORE coupon ;-)

AND...

A compelling reason to buy it... Its an awesome CE but why none of the preorder DLC on such an expensive package?

Also where's the limited edition Titus miniature for the tabletop game...? (That would have been wicked.)

Totally agree. It's funny in a sad kind of way I suppose. Being a PC game box collector, I things like this for a HUGE amount (with shipping, it's almost $100- and the THQ shop is the absolute worst. I would get this from Amazon (even though Amazon always always charges sales tax), or elsewhere, but can't. I've got a pretty rad collector of all of the Warhammer 40K games, except for the DOS ones...

I liked retribution, fun game, and because I suck at video games, getting all the wargear was a huge plus.

I think this one DOES come with the pre-order darksiders PC game as well as the golden powersword dlc....but besides that...for $80 + shipping makes this a pretty bad deal compared to the steam deal of $44.99 with the DLC and darksiders. So basically $40 for a purity seal replica, art book, soundtrack, and 30 info cards? Weak.

I totally agree that it should have came with a limited edition Titus miniature. Or better yet...how about a scale model dreadnought...like a aluminum one with moving torso and guns....that would've been an epic desk decoration ;-)

Completely agree, 100%. Like I said, I'm dumb for getting this. I wouldn't do it for something dumb like a CE of "Resistance" or "Socom" but Warhammer, I'm all in.

Is the Blood Raven pack cosmetic only and multiplayer only? I already pre-ordered this on Steam but they don't have much info in the description on the pre-order junk.

And all that wargear got released on steam also... I think its like a buck a each races' wargear.

Still haven't gotten Retribution. Still have much to do in the first two and I kept hoping for a CE being available elsewhere. (now, I'm waiting for a great deal.)

Cosmetic only... and I thought it was MP only but I cannot find a link for it... Honestly, I'm not sure what would keep them from being useable in Single player. Maybe prerendered cutscenes? (but that;s never stopped other games.)

In my gut I do think all of the preorder DLC will end up being available on all platforms at some point in time... Its the current trend, THQ has the habit of doing it, and some of these place that have preorder DLC aren't known for being a good place to buy PC games at.

And I really don't see Relic/THQ/Games Workshop offending their fans by not having the Space Wolves/Black Templar skins becoming available for all at some point. (Though I doubt they will confirm this before the game ships.)

That said I really think the best place to buy this will be Gamestop... but only if you intend to sale your codes.

i preordered firewalker way back when and regretted it every day for a while. Ill not be making that mistake again with a warhammer game but most have been good. My fear for this game is itll end up being a cheap hack and slash with a little gears thrown in. from the few vids ive seen it looks like its just wave after wave of enemies.

WH40K hack and slash? Sounds like some good ol' fashioned fun to me ;-)

But anyway, I would say there is a good chance the game is going to be of good quality. THQ tends to turn out a good product, and moreover, all the other WK40K titles have been outstanding thus far (at least in my opinion).

At the very least...I'd throw them the $50 or w/e just to support the company in all the good they have done so far on the other WH40K titles.

I think the steam deal is probably the best deal we will see until several months after release. Doubt there will be an "expansion" pack either because of the nature of the game.....most likely just a sequel.

As someone who bought the collector's edition of C&C 4... I TOTALLY understand. Nothing like having something you love not only shit on, but lit on fire....

I was sold before seeing video, but after the demo I'm waiving my CAG on this. Pre-ordered amazon release day delivery FTMFW!

had marginal interest till i played the demo. it's not a must have compared with other titles this season, but i'll likely pick it up at some point. and sure it is reminiscent of gears but in a good way. love the design and the gameplay. just wish the deals were better; one more reason to hold off a little while.

Free Darksiders is definitely a great deal. Unfortunately I already have it. :(

I played the demo too, and it's slightly above average.

What I noticed was missing: no jumping, no running, and no cover system. Sure there's a jet pack...meh.

The melee gameplay is neat, fury system is okay, and the chainsaw-sword is alright. The number of enemy count is high, but they're weak. I can't get over how you can overcome stunning and executing one enemy while 10 are standing around to kill you...this $h!t just makes me laugh.

They are definitely copying Gears. Space Marine for me is a $15 title on the Shipwreck scale.

You guys know space marines has been around far longer than GoW right....?

What do you mean? Isn't it just a big Gears/Starcraft rip-off?

I don't know squat about 40k, but I feel like you're totally missing the point. There's no cover because these guys don't use cover, which is why you can simply murder everything in your way.

This games style felt like gears of war meets too human.
