Mortal Kombat pre-orders, special edition announced photo

Cool news for PlayStation 3 owners, this weekend Warner Bros. revealed that God of War's Kratos would appear as a fighter on Sony's console when Mortal Kombat ships next year. But everyone will be able to partake in the these goodies -- special editions and pre-order items.

The "Kollector's Edition" of the title will ship with Sub-Zero and Scorpion figures, a collectible art book, and downloadable content that will add "Klassic" costume skins and avatar costumes. The "Tournament Edition" edition is for the hardcore MK combatants, and ships with a portable fight stick, along with the aforementioned downloadable content. Only 20,000 copies of this "Tournament" edition will be available.

On to the pre-orders… GameStop will be offering the classic Scorpion skin, along with the fighter's original fatality. Sub-Zero gets the same treatment if you pre-order from Best Buy, and Reptile gets the skin/fatality love if you pre-purchase from Amazon. Tough choices. Hell, just pre-order them all.

Mortal Kombat is scheduled to ship April 2011.

If it's anything like my God of War: Ghost of Sparta Entertainment Pack preorder, you can do it on Amazon, choose Super Saver Shipping, then get a code before your preorder ships (thus you may be able to cancel the order before payment goes through, since that doesn't occur until it actually goes out).

..................................... You have got to be fucking kidding me.

DLC FATALITIES??? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU

This is unbelievable.

This is equivalent to SSF4 making you buy costumes packs in order to do a fireball.

yea.. dlc fatalities ..... come on.... but i can see why they are doing it... fatalities are not game breaking if you dont have them, they are basically eye candy.... but still utter BS

@ Freetouch

Actually, it seems more like the original fatality comes with the original skin, which is actually kind of cool.

If SF IV sold a SF III Ryu skin that made him function as he did in the latter game, I think that would be a pretty badassed idea.

@free touch:

What the hell are you talking about that you have to buy DLC costumes in SSF4 to do a fireball?

Dood. The Round 2 Tourney Editions were designed for easy modding and replacement of parts.

Just replace whatever buttons be ailing on you. Infinitely cheaper that way.

If its their classic fatalities, Scorpions is the "reveal the skull head, breath fire onto man, man is crispy", Subzero is the head and spine pull, and reptile is probably the head eating thing, or a mix of both subscorpy.

@Cla: did you read the story? From the pre-orders, you can assume that there is going to be DLC fatalities (although they are attached to classic costumes). I was basically saying by charging us for "extra moves" in a game, it would be like capcom making us by the costume packs just to be able to do a special move.

Who makes the fight stick?

My hori (with sanwa buttons and stick) is holding up but I love mortal kombat and I want that stick.

The team has always said that downloadable fatalities and characters and boards or whatever were in the works. I'm totally with you guys if they're yanking shit OUT of the game to provide as pre-order content (which, really, is probably what is happening here). But post-release, I'm okay with this. If they only have time in their dev cycle to create, say, 4 fatalities per character... and then post release do a bunch more, and want to charge me a few extra bucks, that's fine. If I'm not interested in the content, I won't bother.

More import for me, though, would be the addition of more characters. I'd much rather they provide new characters over the course of a year while they were working on a brand new title behind-the-scenes, rather than push out a quick sequel where the only addition IS new characters.

@free touch: It isn't the same. Fatalities are just for show, as the SSF4 costumes are. They don't count for the strategy of the fight as the fireball you mentioned do, so if you choose not to buy them, that's okay.

I'm with Chester on this. I don't need the extra fluff to enjoy the game anyways.

Master chief looks kinda like cyrax and sector(?) so maybe that'll happen?

YES! I'm all about Reptile's original costume. I'm trying to make sure I continue to not give Gamestop my business. So, yay for Amazon doing Reptile. YESSSS! I'd be all "omggg DLC fatalities?! WHY?!" But it was mentioned at E3, so it's nothing new.

I look forward to seeing what the "Tournament Edition" looks like. Faaaaaap.

@SayWord Probably wouldn't of if they didn't know Sony was doing this. It's still a possibility. Although to be honest I'm not even totally interested in Kratos being in the game that much at all.

@SayWord the problem is, the xbox doesn't have an ironic gory character that'll fit. Master Chief.? Good luck with that.

Don't be fucking dense. The entire point is that we want these things and shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get them.

Not sure whether to get the Best Buy or Amazon pre-order. Would like to have the Sub-Zero spine rip, and original look. Wonder when these new editions will be listed online.

I fear for pay-for-DLC fatalities. You KNOW they're thinking about it.

Amazon only has one version listed for pre-order, and it mentions the Reptile DLC, but says nothing about the figures or tournament stick. I'm confused.
