This practice includes an accomplice who is none other than the video game retail giant GameStop. What is happening between developers and GameStop is what we call 'The Pre-Order Bribe'. It's when GameStop will give you a code for pre-ordering a game which will then unlock extra features in the purchased game. These features may include bonus levels, weapons, secret items, clothing, etc.

really its about time someone said something.
its not possible to wait for reviews anymore because now you have to pre order the game if you want all the content.
like "bionic commando" the game was garbage but the customer had to pre order it to get the bonus stuff only to trade it back in.
and even the next call of duty game has a special edition reserve. I reserved it. What exactly i reserved i have no idea but i def don't wanna miss out on anything if they stop taking reserves. at least Infinity Ward is one of the developers that i know wont let me down. then again i didn't think capcom would bomb bionic commando.
Im getting tired of this stuff, i can understand maybe weapons clothing or a special hidden item. But developers need to not give away hidden lvl's, ie Assassins Creed 2. Chances are that if its a good game people are going to rush out and get it.
Per-orders are just a waste of money. I have never per-ordered from gamespot, have through best buys and amazons website, and never will.
