    @Cisko: Their job is to sell a game to entertain people.  If they're screwing me out of content that could have been in the game to begin with, just to make people pay more money, why should I put up with that?  Yes, they're a business, but a business that's completely dependant on appeasing the fans. 
     
    If you're happy enough to be screwed over like this..  expect it to keep happening and more regularly.

    Sub Zero's the best but unfortunately we don't have Best Buys so I wonder what I'll get?

    "Why all the fuss? Pre-order bonuses are >DLC< meaning it will be available later from your preferred download store. So you get the one you prefer to shop with (Best Buy for me) and you get what they offer. Then in a short time after the game is released you buy and download the other skins/fatalities if you are into that. However, they are KLASSIC, meaning they are the same as MK1 (or 2 as I'm sure Reptile's fatality is the "eat his head" one). The characters in game will still be wearing clothes, just reboot clothes. And they will still kill dudes in extravagent and gorey fashion...just rebooted gorey fashion!  Stop worrying so much, any extra content is good extra content. At least it's not exclusive "gold" weapons which do NOTHING but cosmetic....fatalities are always fun to watch.
                "


    Well, for one thing, people who want a complete game have to pre-order it 3 times. Second, these pre-order bonuses are almost always exclusive to North America, leaving the rest of the world out.  I don't mind buying them at a later time as DLC, but whose to say it'll even be released as DLC later on? The only one benefiting from pre-order exclusive DLC are the retailers and eBayers who don't care about the game in the first place.

    Man, this is a tough call. Really, I wish I could have all 3. Classic Sub-Zero has the best fatality with the head/spine rip, I think. Well, dude, I'm not sure what is considered Reptile's classic fatality. Didn't he have the same one, since in MK1 he had just Sub-Zero's and Scorpion's moves? Hmm... I don't remember. I'm not too crazy about the MK figurines, though. I wouldn't want to pay more than $70 for the cheaper bundle, but considering how much content it has, I imagine it'll be $80 or $90. I might need to stick to the regular version and just preorder it for the bonus costume and fatality. 
     
    Classic Reptile looks freaking awesome in that picture.

    Pre-order bonuses are sadly becoming the norm these days. More and more I yearn for the old days when everyone got exactly the same game. These bonuses will only serve as ammo for the dick-waggling smack-talking arseholes which inhabit the forums of gaming worldwide.

    @WinterSnowblind: See the thing is, I don't think anyone is getting screwed over. You're still getting 99% of the content. All you're missing is a few little things. I don't agree with games offering pre-order DLC that actually changes gameplay, but in this situation, it doesn't. I think what we have here, is another case of people getting upset because they're not getting more for less.

    I agree. These bonuses are completely and utterly superficial. And one has to wonder, had this DLC model not been in place, would they have ever bothered doing the work to make these costumes in the first place?  Whatever, though.

    I don't get all of the outrage. They are fucking skins.
     
    I'll probably get it from Amazon since I don't really like the new reptile skin, i'd much prefer him to be human.

    I preordered from Amazon regardless of the DLC.  They ALWAYS send me 10 bucks for buying new games from them.

    The dlc thing is indeed very VERY bad ju ju for Netherealm Games.
