I really don't like it when they do this, but I feel as though I must comply.
Mass Effect 2's special armors didn't woo me, but this... this is Shockwave! edit: I think I'll wait until we get pictures before I jump at this. This post has been edited by Silent_Magnus: Feb 6 2010, 10:38 AM -------------------- I may be lying

I think there's at least a solid possibility that he'll just be a new skin on Megatron, but who knows. Even at that he might be good enough to be cool. I'm sure there'll be pics before summer. -------------------- |

Cheap pre-order bonuses are a logical retail incentive.....sadly.

Someone will eventually post the code on-line, then everybody can have Shockwave.

 Very disappointed..in ALL OF YOU Group: Citizen Posts: 2,717 Joined: 14-March 05 From: Miami, Humidityville Member No.: 6,219 |
Lately they've been handing out these sheets of paper that have individualized codes. So posting your code online rarely works. Thats what I had to do with Brutal Legend and Ratchet & Clank.
Thankfully I have friends who work at Gamestop... --------------------  |

I'm only planning on getting the DS version of the game. It probably won't have a bonus Shockwave will it?
BTW - I'm not familiar with console gaming (well, my little brother owned a NES, and a friend had an Intellivison a while back.) Are these sort of bonus codes that eventually make their way onto the internet and anyone can access Shockwave if they learn the code, or are they all unique and only work once?

But I was told in no uncertain terms that the preorder exclusive would be the WfC Optimus Prime toy!

Alright Shockwave! I might pre-order a game for a console I don't have-- wait. Multiplayer? Nevermind then.

Doesn't Gamestop give this sort of stuff out when you preorder, and doesn't ask to get it back should you cancel the preorder?
I did that back when they had the Assassin's Creed tinbox. --------------------  |

I did that back when they had the Assassin's Creed tinbox. To cut back on that, Gamestop has moved to holding onto the pre-order gifts until you come in and actually buy the game. -------------------- |

I know this is snark but honestly I'm still hoping for a Special Edition pack in. Why? Dante's Inferno has a pre-order bonus of a Dante figure. A full NECA produced Dante Action Figure. 6.5 inches with all the articulation of a typical NECA retail release. -------------------- BOTCON 2011: The Cheetsening

Actually, remember how the samples we've seen have been missing the head and roof bit? THAT's the pre-order bonus. You buy the figure for the normal Deluxe price, but then to get the head and other missing parts, you have to pre-order the game. They're sneaks like that.
