Quantcast



Sometimes pre-order items are lame, like an XXL t-shirt that you end up using as rags, for instance. Or the tampon that was in my used copy of Shadow of the Colossus I bought from GameStop when I pre-ordered Call of Duty 4 ...

In other cases, they're like this cool art book you get if you pre-order Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 at Best Buy. Hell, you don't even have to go in to a store -- just pre-order it online. Not surprisingly, the book will be filled with Spider-Man art, and should be a nice collectible for comic book fans. 

As an incentive for us to post about this pre-order item, Activision have also passed along three new screens for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Because the story about the pre-order item gives us an excuse to write about the screens. And if the story was "Here are three new screens for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, you can see Venom eating Spider-Man in one of them. The end," then that would be boring.

This story about the pre-order (and the three new screens) was anything but boring. The end.

Looks like I'm going to have to break my "no preordering" rule once again.

That tampon story is fake right?

Normally I would assume so because that's how DToid rolls, but it seems too specific to be made up...

We (BestBuy) also have a really cool, hardcover, artbook included in our Dead Space pre-order boxes.

Thing is fucking choice. Wish I had picks for you guys.

Actually "Here are three new screens for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, you can see Venom eating Spider-Man in one of them." would probably make me mess myself. Quite the opposite of boring. It all looks very fapable indeed, espcially the screen in question :3

Game looks great, and the pre-order bonus is very nice.

Hmmm. I already plan to get it, but Best Buy? Why couldn't it be Amazon or even Gamestop? I hate signing up to new retailers, and my local branch is too far away.

Also, I'll take some cheese with my whine.

Did they forget about the cover art until the last minute or something?

I'm a sucker for pre-ordering special edition games. The Fruitland, MD Gamestop owns my soul... and my wallet

The potential for the combat gives me a boner. I hope it turns out well. Sweet book cover, too.
