First DOA5 pre-order bonus

[Forlorn Penguin]

Pre-order at Amazon.com to get the "DOA Devils" black bunny swimsuit for Tina, Christie, and Ayane. I really hope that DOA5 isn't another one of those games that makes you pre-order it a 4 or 5 different stores to get everything.

As expected, they're dividing up the 'sexy swimwear' across various retailers I presume.

 

[Raansu]

Ya that doesn't surprise me at all. A month or two later everything will be up on the marketplace anyways so whatever.

 

[grap3fruitman]

I'm assuming that GameStop gets the CE with everything a la NG3.

A hardcover artbook, soundtrack, poster, AND a metal-embossed case? With an $80 price tag?

Team Ninja, please take my dad-gummed money... two times.

Exactly what I was thinking. First I figured it would be what people were speculating, around $140. At that point, I wanted it, but would't touch it.

Now, for an extra $20 (which I'm completely fine with spending) I get all of that? Yes please. I'll be pulling a Fry on this one.

OMG I'm pre-ordering it from Amazon to get Christie's swimsuit!

 

[virtuaPAI]

I am just going to wait till the definitive version is made clear, and I will purchase that one.

The Gamestop CE has swimsuits for all female characters in the game, so I think if you were being swayed by that then get it at gamestop....like always~

This is gonna pose the same DOA5 Alpha problem for me. I want the Collector's Edition but the GameStop retarded exclusivity will make it VERY difficult for me. As I mentioned back when Dynasty Warriors with Busa came out, Gamestop refuses to accept my american credit card because the billing address is from my country, even if I want the item shipped to a location inside the USA. Amazon has never given me this shit.

I'm already sending tweets to Team Ninja about it. Players like Wizz and FakeSypha who are from Argentina or myself, from Venezuela will not be able to buy the CE from Gamestop due to a retarded policy of not accepting credit cards with both billing and shipping address in the USA, even if the card is american.

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

hmm ... I dont like getting something and missing out something else from another retailer ..
I might order it from both, use the codes, and return one .. lol

 

[DyByHands]

I wonder if other retailers will have different preorder bonuses? Need to keep an eye out.

 

[RikWeaN]

That retailer specific content is getting annoying. FAST.
I curse the dude who came up with this concept. Everything should be included in the CE, period.

You should be tweeting GameStop, not Team Ninja.

*sigh* you guys can do 1 of 3 things

-Get the gamestop CE(if you don't have a GS in your area, try to get them to ship it)
-Get it a Amazon
-Get both: Details below.

Buy form both retailers to get both pre-order incentives, then keep the GS CE(with all the extra swag), return the unopened Amazon copy after you receive the DLC code in the confirmation E-mail and get your money back.
this requires more money as you have to pay it in full at amazon, however your "insured" to get everything.

Note: The DLC swisuits maybe just 1 pack and they are just sectioning off some as pre-order incentives(like SFxTK Gems) so maybe the CE at GS will include all the costumes and this wont be necessary~

I did a similar tactic for FFXIII-2...and saved like $15 worth of DLC

GameStop won't take his credit card, that's the problem.

 

[DriftSlave]

oh god....that's terrible. Could he use a Visa? or something similar? Umm well im sure if push comes to shove someone will help him get his copy. *raises hand*

with that said, should we make a thread for people who may have this similar regional problem?

Amazon's comes via e-mail so you could very well do that.

From what I gather, everything is included in the CE. The Retail specific DLC is only in regard to the normal game I presume.

However, the CE is retailer specific.

 

[Rikuto]

So you want to give them 80 dollars, and they won't accept it?

This is what we call "retarded business structure".

 

[Allan Paris]

That sucks GameStop won't take your money.

Why the hell are they breaking up their DLC between retailers? What point does that serve, only in the end to have it all on the market place?
