Pre-order bonuses - tell us about yours
I always try to stay off the topic of pre-order stuff because it's a bit of a minefield - especially in the area of DLC.
But, of course, there's been some terrific physical bonuses given away as pre-order incentives - so if you have any interesting ones then I'm sure we'd all like to hear about it.
I'll start the ball rolling with the only one I have - apart from the Bayonetta Scarborough Fair Gun, which technically was - and it's the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 poker Chip set from Gamestation
Comments
my boyfriend has this poker set but he doesn't have the box, he must have thrown it away, i have the Bayonetta Scarborough Fair Gun, i've got a few t shirts from pre ordering games and some soundtracks.
most of the merchandise i have is from going to events and stuff so it doesn't really count reg this topic.

-The Punching Ghaleon doll (Lunar)
-A case for an N64 controller+game (Perfect Dark)
-A case for DS (Pokemon black)
-A mini pokemon figure (Pokemon gold)
-The Dead Space artbook

I'm actually having a hard time remembering the difference between collector's editions and preorder stuff

And you call yourself OCD. Forshame.
i rarely buy retail current-gen games.. i can't pre-order any 2nd hand games that come in
"could i put a pre-order on any rare games that come in that you under price?" thanks~!
I have the Ryu minibust that came with the preorder of the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection.
I rarely pre-order, in fact, I think I've only ever pre-ordered 2 DW games, a SW game, 2 GTA games, KH2, and AC Brotherhood.

Same here, I rarely buy current gen games anyway. But I have placed my first preorder ever, though: Dark Souls for the PS3.
Got:

Kingdom Hearts 2: Magnets

How much are those Kingdom Hearts 2 magnets usually worth as I have a set in Mint condition that I got a few years back from the MCM Expo in London at the Square Enix stand.
My first preorder was Uncharted 3 Explorer Edition an unless The Last of Us has a collectors edition then it'll probably be my last as I've decided if I want a game on launch then I'll buy a promo off eBay, save myself a couple of quid and have a promo for my collection!
Resistance 3 had the chimera tooth (if anyone is selling one pm me) necklace if you bought it from shopto and my local indie had a chimera sackboy keying pre order bonus.
North America sucks for preorder bonuses. The last one I saw was a super chintzy blue "bandana" for preordering Future Soldier. It looked like a paper thin napkin.
The Assassin's Creed 3 steelbook bonus was amazing though. Snagged 6 of those (or 7, I don't recall).
We mainly get DLC but sometimes we do get good stuff. I think the Assassins creed Steelbook is the only American bonus I've ever wanted and that's included in our collectors edition. Least you normally get stuff earlier.
GameStop generally ONLY gives out "exclusive" DLC for preorders. I hate DLC; it should be included in the game in the first place.
The AC3 steel you guys get in your CEs should generally be the same; the only difference there will be is that your steels will have a rating on them, whereas the preorder ones here have "RP" (rating pending) on them.

seconded.
DLC is NOT a collectible.

I prefer the RP logo lol.

No idea, can't remember whether I sold mine on ebay or not :S
I have Gatcha (or whatever those vending machines were called) Sora keychain somewhere around here. That's not a preorder bonus though, lol.
