i see what you did there 

I was happy when last year i got the pc version of saints row 2 for $1 at a dollar store, turns out it was also the steam version. Suprised it was new sealed and a pc game in a dollar store that didnt have any other games, but I was pretty pumped about it.

This is how a game company gets me to pre-order a game.

That video was...breathtaking

I probably won't play this game, but I'm so happy it exists.

Cry some more. This is a business son.

already pre-ordered- so pumped. Saints Row 2 had me at "purple van full of purple ninjas with uzis"

Saints Row: the third is taking the sandbox genre to the extreme. Just like Alex Navarro said, it's stupidly great.

Good lord, enough with the "No one X should have all this power!" jokes.

This.  You guys already used that joke on a front page post yesterday.

wait what?

I never played the first two Saints Row...but this one looks interesting.
 
I think I may have to check it out.

I have no idea what I just watched in that trailer, but I want it now!

my god this game is setting to have so much crap in it who is going to be able to strap on all of this!? no one viruta duder should have this much power.

I hope they don't go to much down the "LOLOL SO RANDUM XD" path. SR2 had a good balance. I don't want to see clowns with dildo-swords in story missions.

That trailer... so much what. I love it.

I agree entirely. Though so far they have only been showing all of the free-roaming carnage, more so than the story, so hopefully all of this ever-increasing stupid is all contained nicely within the free-roam. The stories for the games weren't exactly of a particular high standard, with subliminal messages and the like I'll admit, but they had some fairly realistic portrayals of a gang-polluted City and were pretty grounded in comparison to everything else outside.
 
The campaigns for SR are like some high-octane action movies with solid scripts; silly, but still with some fairly serious motifs underneath (The Brotherhood arc in SR2 was pretty fantastic for example, along with the Julius epilogue mission) and I hope The Third won't trade that in and go just a little too far this time.

So fucking excited god damn.

Guys, it's already been confirmed that they're just bundled and skinned. You can get all the items within the game, just not with those matched textures. Leet, grow up.

This looks so fucking dumb. I can't wait.

It's pretty pathetic they showed this ma-canon thing off at E3 as being in-game when it's actually pre-order stuff.

 
God damn, this game has the power.

Pathetic, or greedy?

One and the same

God, this looks so fucking crazy. I can't believe it...i just might get a saints row game.

Hell, I already pre-ordered, now I'm just that much happier about it.

So…I get to run around with a huge cat head and I only have to pre-order a game I’m getting day 1. Sold!

Pre-order confirmed.

Glad to see that they have fully embraced their madness.

I am ready to accept the insanity that is Saints Row The Third.

I am so very excited for this game. Saints Row 2 was amazing, and this one looks to be even more so.

Man-canon as a pre-order bonus is bullshit.

Having said that, excuse me, I need to go pre-order this game.

Damnit, I don't like preorders but man ... this stuff's tempting. A LOT.

My god, this makes Just Cause 2 look cultured, realistic and sophisticated. Buy. Buy. Buy. Buy...

This game is freaking retarded. I WANT IT!

So, How much strapping on is there in the game?

ridiculous and stupid game . 

I don't want to comment much because I am not into this game, or the SR franchise in general, but one thing that intrigued me about SR2 was that it did seem to have a story. That main BAD guy in fact sounded like he was perfectly normal and adjusted on a level of mental illness and perversity that few serial killers or Hannibal Lector types truly reach. It honestly caught my attention, there looked to be some heavy handed drama. This..well this looks like Party Time, kind of different, least what I am seeing.

Pre-order items are awesome and so is the Shark Attack Pack (but you have to pay for that DLC)!
