Guitar Hero Metallica pre-order incentives include a free kick pedal photo

Activision just sent out a little press release detailing the various pre-order bonuses people can get from three major videogame retailers. If you pre-order from GameStop, you’ll receive an exclusive second kick pedal for free. Pre-order from GameCrazy and you will get a pair of Guitar Hero Metallica themed drumsticks. If you pre-order (or buy) from Best Buy, you’ll receive free tattoo sleeves.

All of the pre-order bonuses will only be available for a limited time so you better hurry. Obviously, you should get Metallica from Best Buy as they’re offering you the BEST bonus item of the three stores. Who needs practical things like a kick pedal or drum sticks when you can just get yourself FAKE TATTOOS! OH MY GWAD!

Oh, and check out the box art for the game below. I had no idea there were going to be so many good bands in Metallica. System of a Down, Queen, Slayer, Alice in Chains, and more. Awesome. I’m going to prepare for this game by playing Simon Says while listening to my System of a Down and Alice in Chains CDs!

Does anyone know if:

1. The Guitar Hero drum pedal works with Rock Band?

2. When they give you the free pedal?

I would love to know this also.

My guess is not because the Guitar Hero/Rock Band peripheral relationship has not been very friendly thus far so I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for that. I'll assume that the pedal will go along with the release, though.

I know this is getting into semantics Hamza, but the PR actually says you get the tattoo sleeves if you PURCHASE the game at Best Buy, not pre-order. Although obviously that means if you pre-order at BB you will still get them, you don't have to pre-order to get them. :)

DJP3DRO:

Ahh, awesome. Now if I can find out if they'll just give it to me when I put the pre-order down, then I'll have my new pedal for much cheaper than I planned.
