Bret Hart is still wrestling -- somehow -- and since he's one of the all-time WWF/WWE greats, fans are likely interested in playing as him in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011. In North America, Hart will be a timed exclusive pre-order bonus for Best Buy and "all major Canadian retailers," according to THQ (he is, after all, Canadian). I imagine he's much more happy about this news than about being in the Walls of Jericho above.
Just like Stone Cold Steve Austin -- who was exclusive to GameStop, EB Games, and GAME pre-orders in SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 -- Hart will eventually be made available for everyone to purchase. (THQ sold Stone Cold for $1 last year, so presumably, that's how much they'll charge for Hart.) Even if you don't get Hart, SvR 2011 will still ship with more than 70 playable WWE Superstars and Divas.
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 will hit stores for PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, and PS2 on October 26, 2010. Check out my full preview for more details.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

@Artemus This series has stunk for soooo long, but enough people buy it every year that this plague just keeps going and going. [I count myself as a sucker too, as I bought it in both 08 and 09 thinking there was going to be change]
I totally see what you did there.
Also. Bret Hart = me sold
He he. Awesome. =) I'm a recovering Jericholic.
@norm9
That's the problem.
