For those who pre-ordered Hitman: Absolution, you are among the many who can enjoy The Sniper Challenge. This is a great way to experience a small segment of Hitman: Absolution before it releases. As expected, you take on the role of Agent 47. In this mini-game, you compete against players locally and even globally on a worldwide Leaderboard.

Square Enix is excited to announce that Hitman: Sniper Challenge and Gyromancer are now available on the free to play platform, Core®Online.

With Grand Theft Auto V’s pre-order incentives set to be announced soon, the Daily Reaction team of Seb and Dan discuss the problems with pre-order bonuses and why they need to be changed. - PSLS
Usually per-order bonuses are just timed exclusives. Really no point in any of that..
The last time I pre-ordered something I was left very unsatisfied.
They need to have something unique or useful to really make me want to pre-order these days.
I hate segmented pre orders. I liked the way lbp2 did it with a collectors edition that had all the preorder DLC. It meant paying a little extra, but you got a lot of other cool stuff too
Pre-order bonuses often blow, and screw people over. I can't find any retailer who knows anything about PlayStation All-Stars giant pre-order bonus (in Canada) so it looks like I'm fucked in that regard. Even Amazon.ca doesn't mention the pre-order bonus (whereas Amazon.com does)

Did you know that the ultimate assassin sniping level we always wanted is here! Of course available through Hitman: Absolution.
I'm actually really enjoying Sniper Challenge, I did'nt think I'd get so much replayability from a 15 minute demo, but yep I'm still trying to unlock all the challenges (I know they're all on youtube, but where's the fun in that?).
