Pre-order Bonuses Listing

Scorpius

CAGiversary!
Ok, everyone, I thought I'd try to bring this thread back, because it was a huge help to me when I was looking to pre-order games, only thing is I'm going to need some help keeping it updated. A few issues I've got: I'm currently deployed, so I'm only really tracking games that I care about... no idea what's coming out outside of those. I've also forgotten stores other than BBY, GS, and Amazon. So, if I can get help, we're good, otherwise this thread will die.
The idea is to list the pre-order bonuses associated with certain stores.
These aren't really deals, but I know that sometimes, bonuses were what swayed me to one store over another, so thought I'd help others with the same.

Store Customers: Item will be available at time of purchase.

You enter a pre-order code and answer trivia and do photo challengers to unlock in-game bonus DLC items and earn entries into a sweepstakes.

thanks for heads up, i am still deciding where i will preorder remember me
 
question: for Shin megami soul hackers. Is the soundtrack just the one thats in the box itself? I thought i remember reading that Gamestop got an extra soundtrack for pre-ordering but they had none when i picked it up. He said its just the one thats in the art box the game comes in.

Is that true? Is it just a general first print run thing? Just wanna make sure GS isn't screwing me

Thanks. Thought that was the case but wanted to double check. The one good GS around here got shut down and this was at a new one where i dont really trust the employees yet
 
Speaking of Shin Megami Tensei, SMT4 will have a first print edition as well, so I'd suggest pre-ordering to secure your copy. Includes a 170+ page art & strategy book, a special CD containing music throughout the series, and a special slipcase to hold them.

Also, if you pre-order Deadpool from GameStop or EB Games, you get "Merc with a Map Pack" DLC that adds two new challenge maps, two costumes (D-Pooly and the Uncanny X-Force suits), and a digital wallpaper.

fuck!

are you serious? This really sucks if this is the case. I wasn't planning on getting it until the price dropped, i think $50 is steep for a 3ds game. I guess if theyre including an artbook and stuff thats kinda cool, but still, blea
 
[quote name='The_cheapest_Daddy']Pre-order[/QUOTE]

If every retailer is doing it more likely pick up as it will be pack with the game.

I was wondering if it was going to be packed in, less chance of someone fucking up
 
If you pre-order Watch Dogs from Gamestop, you get a free poster. It comes sealed/rolled up in plastic. You get them when you place the pre-order and are limited quantity.

I plan to buy this game for a nextgen console, so I'll just move the money over to a new version when they are in the system. So far no PS4 version in there yet.
 
wtf... no search option on the forum right now, and i dont see the subscribed threads option anymore. Did we lose our thread subscriptions? I had to google this one o_o

anyway... is the dragons crown artbook amazon/gamestop only? i pre ordered the vita version at BBY but notice they dont list one. I  need to know if i shoukd cancel it and order at GS instead

 
AFAIK the art book is included in all retail copies, not just GS.  The vita version may not come with it though, as I believe it was only announced for PS3 copies.

I don't suppose someone better than me can resurrect this thread, I've looked at it for years (favorites FTW).  I'm very computer illiterate for the most part and don't even know where to begin looking up some of this stuff.  I'll try if someone wants to go in it with me!!

Ok I was going to add some if someone can please tell me how to edit the original post.  Other threads mentioned that they were wikified where people could edit, this doesn't but do to the nature I would think it would be able to.  So if someone can enlighten me how, I will add some content.

You can get this information by checking GameStop / Amazon listings and in some cases other sites (though those are the main two) and getting press emails can be a BIG help (though that doesn't help you).

Only the OP and staff can make a thread a wiki. You might be better off remaking the thread and making it a wiki to begin, though I have no clue how to do so on CAG 3.0.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't updated the OP in quite a while, but I'm back in Afghanistan and the Internet is restricted for sites with games at work, and the Internet available in the housing doesn't go fast enough for me to browse much. The OP is a wiki, so anyone can update it, so I'd appreciate any help I can get for the foreseeable future, at least until I can get home to a steady connection again.
