    Check this out!

    Looks like the same thing as Prince of Persia's preorder terms. Everyone who does gets bumped to Limited Edition for free. This is an amazing offer. I'm definitely taking it.

    Wait, I already pre-ordered at Gamestop a few weeks back. Does this still apply to me?

    That's pretty darn cool. Now you've made me consider pre-ordering the new PoP game. :P

    It had better. Just call your store and confirm, or do it the next time you're in there.

    Ah, never mind Jayge. I got Far Cry 2 at EB Games. I know awhile ago they merged, but I don't think this applies to them too.

    Wait...is this some other LE, or is this the whole Wooden Box one that was shown a little while? Because if it's that one this sounds too good to be true and I'll definitely be pre-ordering it then...

    no I believe its just if you preordered Farcry 2 in general you immediately get this better edition for the same price..says a few more missions and better packaging and such..pretty good deal.

    That content does look pretty cool. Too bad I refuse to give GameStop any business, I might have put some thought into this if Best Buy had a deal.

    Eh... I don't know. Sounds good, and I think Far Cry 2 looks like it could be quite awesome, but I'm not about to preorder it. It still could end up being a disappointment. Also, I'm totally not digging the limited edition packaging.

    Just some exclusive side-missions, Dual.

    Anyway- to confirm. The game comes with the LE features, but I don't think it comes in the wood box.

    If only, if only...

    Okay, I'm a little confused with this.  I've pre-ordered Far Cry 2 already (at EB).  Got me fancy Pre-order reciept.  But when I did go in to pre-order I asked the guy if there was a special edition and he was like, don't see one here, still wanna pre-order?  And I was like, of course.  - So when I go in, am I just alluva sudden going to get this Pre-order LE wooden box w/ bonus missions ect.?  Cuz the dude didn't mention anything like, "And since you pre-ordered you'll totally be getting this Limited Edition!"

    Is everyone just pre-ordering the regular FC2 and hoping they get this copy?  Or is everyone actually pre-ordering a Limited Edition Version?

    Pre-order the normal edition, and you should get bumped up either to a Limited Edition, or to a special Pre-Order Edition, which packages the same content as the limited edition and still comes in a normal game box, I think.

    Yes, companies offering bonus incentives are always terrible. Seriously? It's a bit of swag and some extra side-missions. There is enough to do in the game already, trust me.

    The game already if even rushed through I've heard can take 45-50 hours to beat...trust me there is plenty of content here from the start, its just a few missions..its a nice add but trust me its not something for people to get mad over..we're not getting like 10 more hours of gameplay. That LE btw Kush is pretty nice...I hope it comes out in the states.

    I want that Box more than extra gameplay...I need that box. Isn't the UK the one that's always supposed to get screwed over on these kind of things. Why change now. I just want wood...wait, what!?

    Alright, cool.  Thanks for the response, Jayge.  I'm such a sucker when it comes to art books, maps & bonus conent.  :S
