Captain Juan Juarez Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Really? Different bonus content depending on purchase location? I may not even buy it now.

minigun762 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Really? Different bonus content depending on purchase location? I may not even buy it now. Its becoming a more and more common gimmick. I know they did the same thing with the various Fallout games. That being said, the ability to play as Emperor's Children and Iron Warriors is enough to sway me into pre-ordering it I think.

Or ya'know, you wait for it to pop onto Steam then buy all the gimmicks in one go. Look at Retribution: same story. See, easy ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230573-warhammer-40000-space-marine-collectors-edition/#findComment-2771091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodMC Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It's already on Steam. It does not have all the gimmicks. In fact, the Steam offer has the lamest one: a Blood Ravens coloured Mk7 armour. Not even any embossed BR iconography. Easiest solution this time is that Game.co.uk offers the Emperor's Elite and Traitor Legions packs together, for some reason. So at least UK customers can get four skins instead of just two.

Reyner Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Some time after release I bet all the preorder content will be up for individual purchase. I'll be getting it from GAME, where I preorder everything <_< Sorry for double post but just thought if I get the Collectors Edition does that come with all the DLC or anything?

McMillan 104 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I was looking on the GAME website and there was an edition called 'Elite Armour' that comes with the pre order armour, I was wondering if the collectors edition also comes with the pre order armour ?

Elite Armour is one of the pre-order packs. Where you pre-order decides what armour skins you'll recieve.

Pre-order from either GAME or Gamestation to get the required EC skin.

I know, dude, but it doesn't stop my irrational hatred of it :lol: It's not irrational. Stuff like this is bad for the consumer, cause what happens if you want two of the bonuses? They might be made widely available as DLC later, but it doesn't always happen. It also means that someone starting a new business as a game seller is disadvantaged because they won't have these shiny bonuses, so business competition is lessened. Again, bad for the consumer.

Seahawk Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'll be honest, I never knew you could preorder games at any of those locations, the least of which is Blockbuster. Once the locations are confirmed (because the previous announcement said all different locations) then I'll preorder it.

minigun762 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I was reviewing this more and it seems like you can only get the 4x chapter/legion skins from UK locations. In the US they've split it into a loyalist and a traitor bonus at two locations. I'll still have to go with the traitors though, sucks I can't get all four.

Octavulg Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 You could try preordering from the UK anyway... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230573-warhammer-40000-space-marine-collectors-edition/#findComment-2775526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Checked in my local GAME store yesterday and spoke to the manager He knew nothing abnout bonus material only being available through GAMe, nor about the collectors edition. Will wait a bit longer before preodering.
