This is really getting out of hand now. I’m actually all for pre-order bonuses- it’s a nice way to drum up early sales and anticipation, and to reward those who are jumping headfirst into your game blind- but this kind of retailer exclusive pre-order bonus bullshit that has become the norm lately has to stop. Ubisoft did it to an absurd degree with Watch Dogs, which had nearly a dozen editions available on sale, and none with all the content. And now, it seems Warner Bros. wants a piece of that action too, as its upcoming, highly anticipated, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will have its pre-order bonuses split across six different retailers.
The split is as follows:
- Amazon: Lego Batgirl Keychain
- Best Buy: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Digital Comic Book by Comixology
- GameStop: Lego Plastic Man Minifigure
- Target: Lego Batwing Miniset
- Toys “R” Us: Lego The Joker Keychain
- Wal-Mart: Lego Tumbler Miniset
Lego Batman 3 launches later this year for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Wii U, 3DS, DS (yes, the original DS), and PC.
