Here we go again with this preorder exclusive BULLSHIT.

They shouldn't allow this kind of content to be pre-order, it's bullshit.
 
You wanna offer some silly costume/skin go for it but stuff like this makes me furious.

this game looks great! Rockstar has been on a roll 

I only pre-order on Steam cause it's usually £5-10 cheaper and you sometimes get to play the game earlier. This is just greedy companies trying to get money out of you.

Haaaaaaaate retailer specific bonuses. Damn marketing.
 
If you are going to give pre-order bonuses (which are bad enough) at least:
A) Make them the same across all retailers
B) Make them available as paid DLC
 
 If I feel like I am missing too many pieces of a game, I end up not buying it at all.

God those facial animations are fantastic. 

Team Bondi's L.A. Noire...

Wow those graphics look... alright. Idk if it's just me, but the colors look REALLY saturated and the shadows and lights don't mix well.  

One of my most anticipated games this year.

Looks Badass!!!

Still just going to order it from Amazon.

developped in Australia eh?.....could it be banned there just like MK? that would be fucked up....

" @Ahmad_Metallic:   A year or two ago yes. six or seven... no. That's where preorders came from. For a long time retailers under estimated the draw that a specific high-profile title so they would only order like 12 copies. Now they know we lake games so they might order a few dozen or even a few hundred in some cases "

"So living in the UK there is no chance of getting any of this, that is quite annoying.  I really don't see why Rockstar need to do this, this game will sell like any proverbial for a large number you can think of anyway, a really bad trend the video game industry is taking. "

I fully agree.  It makes me not want to pre-order it, despite the fact that I'd be buying it anyway, just so I'm not supporting this trend. Maybe this will be DLC later on?  I've seen that happen before. "

" Blahhh. I want this.  Edit: After months of patiently waiting. It was time. Awesome. I'd like to thank the Academy and my mom and your moms and NASA and of course Giant Bomb. "

Love the facial animation!

I'm glad to see a game heavily influenced by LA Confidential.

Least this will come out for download for everyone else eventually.

Those face models are the best I have seen so far. It is crazy how them focusing on that one detail changes the feel of the whole game. 

Face modeling is great. But the voices sounded a little weird to me. Not bad, but weird. Anyway, I can't wait for this game to come out, especially after what Rockstar did with RDR.

" I'm okay with pre-order bonuses, and can even consider tolerating retailer-specific pre-order bonuses when it's like "get a blue hat" vs. "get a brown suit."  But the fact that two retailers (Gamestop and Walmart) have actual cases in the game as exclusive retailer specific content is just awful.  Hate this. "

Those extra cases better be available for download or I might skip this game entirely in protest. Im sure they will be, but if not, F U!  Give guns and suits out to preorder guys, even little items like patches or pin-up books or something. But making their game content less if i don't preorder? that's lame! I cant afford to preorder. I might have enough to buy the game and then buy DLC later though, so you will actually probably get more money from me in the long run, but i don't have enough to preorder. i have to wait till holidays.....

They do look waxy.

We have entered the Uncanny Valley.

Can't wait for this game, just worried I'm getting over hyped.. Glad they're going to be releasing the pre-order bonuses as DLC though, so I'll probably just stick to Amazon

I've no idea what exclusives they're doing in the UK but godamn I am excited for this game.

" Amazing. Day one so hard. Probably GOTY.
 
@HatKing:  Rockstar has said replying to comments on the newswire that the pre-order bonuses will be put up as cheap DLC not too far down the line. Still does suck, though. I'm just going to stick with Amazon. $10 cheaper, no tax and 99 cent release date delivery > pre-order shit. "

This game looks unbelievable, I cannot wait for this. 

I can totally see myself buying this.

For the UK the following Retailers are doing the following preorder bonus:
 
GAME: The Naked City
Play.Com: A Slip of the Tongue - Bonus Missions
Zavvi: The Sharpshooter, Detective Suit - Costume that increases accuracy with rifles and pistols

Good

This case seems to be based loosely upon the movie of the same name. "The Naked City" is streaming on Netflix if anyone is interested in boning up on a fairly good flick before the big show.
