Just get it from gamestop. they ddeliver fast, nice preorder(i guess) and they always have an extra, unknown preorder bonus, sumtimes.
I don't think a shotgun or a grenade laugher would push me one way or the other.
My 15% discount however...

hopefully their making of DVD follows the same route as Fallout: New Vegas' making of DVD in that it gets aired in bits and pieces on the internet.
The bonus items come with the collector's edition in France, and maybe elsewhere, but in the US they have been pulled out to become pre-order DLC for Gamestop.
FUCKING BULLSHIT.
I hope people do the opposite and refuse to buy it from Gamestop to send a message, but what's the chances of that happening? Probably fucking zero.

You can bet your ass that if the only way to get the bonus mission is from Gamestop I'm downloading it off a torrent and flipping them the bird. I shop where the fuck I want and my $60 should get me the same game as everyone else.

It's a shame that the same open platform ability that lets us say "fuck you" to corporate marketing bullshit like this and "fuck you" to stupid DRM is the same open platform ability that lets asshats download entire games and never pay for anything.
Freedom always has consequences.

Conrad, you missed the little detail that the bonus mission from the Gamestop pre-order actually has a cameo from J.C. Denton. That should be enough to push you off the fence if you played the previous games.
I'm not wild about content being gutted as DLC, but there is also the art book and DVD going for the Explosive Mission pack. I would call the weapons a bit too game-breaking, but then Deus Ex is all about playing to preference and that's not my preference, so no abuse on my end.
Also, I find it rather amusing that when EA/Bioware cut content for DLC, very little is said against it, but the second SE does it people get all angsty. Had people properly boycotted EA/Bioware for this sort of thing, other companies wouldn't be doing it now. But let's be honest, gamer boycotts are the biggest crock of shit on the internet.

Not graphic's photorealistic, but dang it's so beautiful! :D

Glad to see I'm not the only one in the Downloads Preorder DLC boat. That's becoming a serious burr of mine as is, but cutting a chunk of regular gameplay out and dangling it like a carrot? That's cold, son. I think I'm going to wait for the Steam sale now. I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
I don't really like pre-ordering things anymore these days I always find that the gift or whatever they promise is not really worth it it's especially disappointing when you find out a few months later that the game you spent 60 dollars for is 30 dollars online lol :-}
When you cut an entire mission out and effecively sell people an incomplete game, that's the kind of thing that makes me want to encourage everyone to pirate the heck out of it, or at least buy it used.
I don't want the publisher or the devs to make a dime if they're going to pull that kind of crap.

Well, some people did complain when EA did it first of all. Secondly at least everyone who bought the game new got the content with their scheme, rather than everyone who buys the game at one particular store.

@ everyone: I wouldn't blame the developers, this is obviously a HR/PR/Top brass kind of asshole decision. the dude painting the textures has no vote on whether they charge for day-one DLC.
but yes, this shit should be criminal. I with there was some kind of antitrust case that prevented this day-one DLC gamestop tie-in bullshit.

I know little about this game.
But the little i do know has my pants soaked in spunk and almost tearing from the force of the outrageous boner in them.
That is all.

man this game is looking awesome!
any chance these are already in the game, just an unlock early thing? instead of buying or using exp to get them?
cause man i love me some remote mines. but i would also love to stealth double barrel some dudes!

Considering I both live in the UK and will be getting this for PC doesn't really irritate me in the slightest, since if I *DO* get gouged for DLC, despite getting the collectors edition (dat artbook) then I will, as was already said, just torrent the rest of the DLC. It's a really really shitty marketting tactic.
@StingingVelvet - you Forgot the part where the "free DLC" was a voucher that did expire after several months. Not everyone buys day one and don't necessarily prioritize a new RPG when they have a stack of them in the backlog. If you didn't redeem in time, you were made to pay for it anyway.
Don't get me wrong, I don't support DLC as pre-order bonuses, either. I want my preorder bonuses to be doodads and trinkets. Plushies, artbooks, CD soundtracks, DVDs or whatever - not content that should be in the game anyway.
But given Deus Ec isn't one of those games prone to have expansions or a GOTY roll-up a year later and, well, its DX - I'll take what I can get here.

I'm not defending the EA deal, for the record. It annoys me that my ME2 and Dragon Age games are not complete until I sign into an EA server and ask nicely for the rest of my game. That irritates me a lot, for sure.
I just view that as less heinous because every new copy came with the content, even if for a limited time. Everyone who bought the game for that time got the same game. In this case because I spit on Gamestop and all that it stands for I lose a part of my game. That's utter bullshit.
Both are terrible, I just think this one is a bit worse.

To give you a perspective from the development side, DLC is actually NOT part of the game. Final code needs to be finished several weeks before the street date to give manufacturers time to press the discs. DLC is usually still being developed during that time frame since it's not subject to the same restrictions.
Everyone has this illusion that all game content is produced as one big ball of wax and is subsequently divided. That's not really the case.

@amtalx
so it's just a light case of paranoia? :)
well, he's right at that. though, maybe, some cases are just like what LastDual said, the thing that we must understand is that, it's a very rare case. Only real a-holes of publishers(NOT developers, mind you) would pull off such crap. And we could all agree, no publisher is the same. I trust this.

@Nzdjh:
It's a pretty bold claim so say which content is and is not complete for a game that is so far away. :) It's unlikely the DLC is complete because the retail content isn't complete yet. Mind you I don't mean 'code complete', I mean ready for general availability.
It's probable that there have been cases where complete or nearly complete content was cut to create a DLC package. However, consumers get a very skewed view of product life cycles because they receive several pieces of content simultaneously, when those pieces were actually completed at different times. There's really no way to tell without being on the inside. I reel when I see people hurling accusations when they don't have all the facts. Unfortunately, I've been on the receiving end of it in the past.

even though im excited for this i hate exclusive bullshit pre order items, why not put it all in the game?
i wish this would have been a full third person game. it just fit's perfectly here ^^

Good heavens no. Deus Ex is a first-person experience. Many people are already upset at the 3rd person takedowns.

EA/BioWare codes don't expire. They say they do. I didn't redeem my Stone Prisoner code until several months after it's supposed expiration date, and it worked just peachy. I fucking hate EA and I miss the old BioWare. ME1 2- hour mission arson? $1. ME2? $7. Conclusion: go eat shot, EA. I love being able to play some of my favorite games on the PS3, but it ain't worth it. BioWare, PLEASE go back to being a fee agent before it's too late!
