SEGA isn’t making the choice of where to reserve Alpha Protocol easy. Yesterday, the publisher of Obsidian’s espionage RPG announced that GameStop and GameCrazy would be carrying two unique downloadable weapon packs for those ready to lay down the cash for a pre-order. One pack is intended for the stealthy player, the other for the frontal assault type of person.
GameStop will be offering the hardcore shoot’em up pack. It comes with grenades, an assault rifle and a shotgun. GameCrazy will have the stealth pack. This one comes with silencers, tranquilizers, and mines.
If you’d like to know more about either pack, hit SEGA’s blog.
Making a choice for a game before making a choice in the game before even seeing the game in action for over fifteen consecutive seconds seems rather silly to us, especially when considering the statistics bound to the guns. What the hell does "+1s all over mean?" We can only assume that magic modifier means it's a totally awesome gun.

Unless they're hoping that by offering a "variety" of bonuses, consumers will perceive this as greater option and therefore be more likely to pre-order? Still a stretch, though I'm having trouble seeing anything else.
I'll just find a hack to get both weapon sets. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?
Won't pre-order but will probably pick up at some point...
yeah I think I'll go with that option.
Not only people will have a bonus in-game(that they used real cash to acquire) but they will have a bonus they don't even know if they will use.
So yeah.
But the game looks great!
