I planned on pre-ordering but I didn't think it would start so soon! I was trying to save up some money. Anyway, my big question is will there be additional content available through the pre-ordering process that you won't be able to get otherwise? I'm not going to be too worried about pre-ordering if it's just to get sneak peaks at the game b/c they will leak onto the internet. But if there's extra content you're given then I want to do it. Hmmm....
Sounds like the "new hardware offerings" might be for the pre-orders, since there is a limited number, but I'm not sure, Eric.
Eric: I'll check into this. My guess, however, is the pre-ordering gives you glimpses at the game, not actual content.
Has anyone gotten the code yet? I e-mailed Amazon for it since I already preordered the game, and they said I should have it by May 8th.
Got something to say?
