Well seeing as how the Gamestop preorder requires you to fully pay for the game while you just have to pay 5 bucks for the Best Buy preorder I'd say the bonuses are quite appropriate. That is unless I'm wrong about the Gamestop thing. I've been told by them that you have to fully pay to receive the demo bonus.

Well GS has had the same 5 bones of mine for the last 6 months. I just shift it from one preorder to another (Warhammer, SOCOM, MGS4, etc) to get the bonus. If the demo is available as early as today, no way am I waiting for Sony to make it available. This is freaking KZ2!!!!

My local GS opens in about an hour. I'll post my likely disappointment then. ;)

Anyone east of PST have any luck with your Gamestops?

You've been told wrong. $5 is all you have to put down to preorder ANY game from GS.

Not true, although some Gamestop employees make up their own rules and think they know everything.

I've put down $5 on many games and if I end up getting the game from somewhere else, I just transferred the $5 to another new game.

Looks like codes don't get sent until Feb 3rd. Seeing as the game comes out at the end of Feb, this really isn't that great of a bonus.

I'll pre-order when the game comes with a Helghast mask. Or something worth it. A theme or HOME skin just doesn't seem worth it to reserve with any of them.

LOL!! Now thats what I would like to see, and would be the first time I would pre-ordered a game since like Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run on SNES. I was younger then and actually believed the hype of preordering games, as well as having fear of stores actually running out of media products.

I wouldn't expect them to have the demo cards out so soon. This is GameStop we're talking about.

Besides, the online store won't send them out until the third of Feb, so even if you get them in store it doesn't mean that the demo will be available as soon as you get home, will it?

Ha well shoot I'll be making my way down to the local GS to get my preorder for the game. Figured that didn't sound right considering other places usually only require 5 bucks down.

That's pretty cool. Too bad I won't be in the country to try it out so preorder for me is a no go :( I'll probably pick the game up in July time frame when I come back to the states. ;)

Guys, I'm very skeptical about this game. Probably just another Haze in the making. I'm willing to give it a chance, but I doubt it'll be any good.

I saw this tonight at gamestop before I saw the thread. I just asked if there was anything cool with the preorder. They said the beta, which I assumed to be MP beta, but the demo is almost as good. They said they wouldnt be ready until february.

On a side note: Damn, I know I shouldnt be suprised, but I cant believe all the hate in this thread. Its not as if they are asking you to buy the demo, you guys are rediculous.
