Reserve bonus alert: GameStop is offering an ultra-mega-super-exclusive bonus for Airtight Games’ Dark Void. According to official release, those who pre-order the shooter from, seemingly, the only videogame retailer on the planet, will receive a ticket for a downloadable and golden jetpack. Nice, right?

Right. But it’s more than just Army of Two bro-gold. This jetpack gives players “unlimited boosting ability,” meaning that catching dudes and evading gunfire will become much easier in this topsy-turvy game.

The video above is one of those hilarious viral teasers made specifically for this pre-order offer. The fine folks who created this masterpiece are ripping on the Cash 4 Gold commercials and doing a pretty good job at it.

Dark Void hits January 12th 2010.

I can't see TOO MUCH of an advantage for this. While this is an aerial based shooter, it focuses alot on cover too from what I've seen.

I guess this is just for fun, but I don't see this ending well in the higher difficulties. Especially knowing the insane accuracy of higher difficulty AI in shooters.

that video seems like a poor rip off of the video giant bomb did to promote their iphone app

Another preorder "bonus" that's probably on the game disc. Whoopie.

So, the question here is whether or not this is unlockable in-game (meaning this is just early access) or if this will be available as DLC later (like the Scorpion suit for Dead Space). If it's neither of those, then they have an actual exclusive item on their hands, but I question whether it's actually exclusive.

I am sort of glad that a lot of these pre-orders are just for gold items in game (though admittedly, this one is at least functionally different as well), since I feel like gold is gaudy and I am not at all jealous of people who have gold things.

Funny video, but I won't pre-order the game at Gamestop. I don't want something cheap like that in my game. I'd rather play the game like everyone else.
