Bullshit pre-order bonus crap, how about if we pre-order your game we get all that shit?  Don't leave out game play "cases" just because we didn't pre-order from Gamestop or Walmart come on Rockstar, shit move.

You, those those saying rockstar is too cool or such, and I guess this has something to do with morality, this is the dev that brought you games where you take on missions to kill thirty guys and ocassionally someones wife or girlfriend. Civs in their games are at best an impedance, a cop draw, or a source of transportation ala car jacking.Besides all that Rockstar also brought you manhunt 2 (the first one in my book was nasty but had enough going for it, i played it.. Also to be honest, despite the wife killing, I liked vice City alot) 
 
So Rockstar being too cool, hell they are doing it and  fucking store specific to boot. I'm loosing my respect more and more in a broad sense to the point it's better for me to just put it aside. I would not tar Double-fine this way, after all.Now  I do want the game, I'm honest about that. And that said, though I am going to order from amazon though I very much doubt pre-order, 
 
I thought the shirt from Target the best long term deal. Just saying   :)

 TARGET - LA Noire T-Shirt  
Here’s a fun and self-explanatory one: Target is offering a LA Noire shirt via the Rockstar Warehouse. You can pick your size at the store.

Man I hate how they do this! I live in Australia and we have no Gamestop OR Wal-mart, and I doubt Amazon or Target will be giving us any neat preorder deals not to mention the fact that nine out of then times I can get a game cheaper from a different retailer.  
 
I seriously hope the extra content becomes available for download later. 

This trailer and article won me over... Definitely Pre-Ordering!

ugh, f off

Feeble bonuses. Mortal Kombat preorder I choose you!

Damn, more retailer specific bonuses. I'm just hoping they eventually let you buy the extra cases after a while. It's completely understandable why they do these bonuses, but it really can be a suckerpunch if you are not paying attention

retailer exclusive content can go fuck itself 

And the pre-order bonuses are suits. Damn my affinity for mens fashion because to me that on paper sounds awesome but in practice is very depressing.

WELP! Its official - THIS SUCKS -

I really wanted some sort of finely-detailed figurine, or at least something I could handle myself.
 
In-game bonuses have yet to excite me.

Fuck Gamestop.

Hey, stop worrying about our money and worry about releasing this fucking game. I have wanted to play it since I saw the trailer like three years ago.

As long as they add the content down the road then I'm okay with it, but how likely is that?

I can't wait for this game.

So I have to pay for the game before it's out in order to get in-game, very likely on-disc content? And even then I wouldn't have everything. I'd have to pre-order and buy the game from both GameStop and Wal-Mart.

Why the hell isn't this crap bothering more people. It's really fucked up. It is the dreaded "rip content from the core game" only instead of offering it as DLC they're forcing you to buy the game before launch. It's fucking messed up, dudes.

I'm not going to play into their game and pre-order it, no matter how much I actually want the game now. Fuck exclusive pre-order bonuses to certain stores.

Quite appreciate films noir. Interested to see what a game noir will look like.

Dude, all you people complaining - when you finally play the game you'll realize that NONE of these will significantly factor in the game experience. The additional cases? No more than 30-40 minutes of gameplay that was either taken from the cutting room floor or thrown together at the last minute after the core game was done. The suits are a joke and should only bother you if you're super-anal about seeing every single piece of content or if you need to boost your stats to get through the game. 
 
I would never let some stupid piece of in-game content influence my decision to buy a game from a particular retail outlet. But T-shirts? I fucking LOVE T-shirts.

Does the T-shirt actually say "LA Noire T-shirt"?

"Get a $15 Video Games Credit

Pre-order L.A. Noire and receive a $15 promotional credit toward the purchase of items shipped and sold by Amazon.com (certain exclusions apply, including Kindle books, MP3s, and video rentals and downloads), as well as the Broderick Detective Suit, which boosts your fist-fighting capabilities and resilience to damage."

that's easily the best deal
