Resistance 3 Pre-Order Bonuses Detailed

Posted on Thursday, May 26 @ 15:30:23 Eastern by

I think I've already shared my thoughts on preorder bonuses. I'll spare you from a repeat of that tirade and say that some of these preorder bonuses are kind of pointless. Others are just stupid. It'll be up to you to decide which ones are which.

Sony detailed the Resistance 3 retailer-specific preorder goodies today over at the PlayStation blog. GameStop, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Best Buy, and yes, even Canada have their incentives lined up as follows:

  • Gamestop: Joseph Capelli wears a necklace of Chimeran teeth during Resistance 3. Show that you are the resistance with this authentic replica that symbolizes the battle against the Chimera. Pre-ordering at GameStop grants access to a unique multiplayer booster, which allows you to start Resistance 3 multiplayer at Level 5. This also offers immediate flexibility and character customization options from the moment you begin the online competitive game.
  • Wal-Mart: Show off your Resistance 3 fandom in competitive online play with this pre-order package that offers a special set of five custom name titles, including Sentinel. The Sentinels are an elite group of soldiers in Resistance, and the only way to obtain these exclusive multiplayer PSN tags is by pre-ordering at Wal-Mart.
  • Amazon: The No. 60 Air Fuel Grenade has been issued for combating Chimera in tight spaces commonly found in urban conflicts. The grenade will adhere to almost any surface, biological or otherwise, and deploy a cloud of flammable vapor. Once released, the cloud ignites, creating a massive explosion. This fan favorite grenade makes a special return to the single-player campaign of Resistance 3 – but only for those who pre-order from Amazon.
  • Best Buy: Lt. Nathan Hale skipped his viral inhibitor treatments in the final hours of Resistance 2 in order to continue the fight against the Chimera. Play as him in his final hours with this special multiplayer skin, letting you bring Hale to the battlefields of Resistance 3. Love a good victory dance after a win? Show off your skills by using a special Best Buy exclusive ability in multiplayer to taunt your fallen enemies. Only the most skilled players can forsake another ability in order to taunt their enemies.
  • Canada (and other US retailers): The backbone of the US effort against the Chimera during the war, Black Ops troops were a common site at SRPA facilities and during special operations. Mostly killed and destroyed, this special multiplayer skin lets you return as one of the most mysterious soldiers from R:FOM and R2.

    So I can have the best grenade in the game only if I preorder from Amazon? Fucking dumb. Though it's obvious that the game makers always get paid major bank to do these preorder bonuses.

    That's possible, though the reason they push preorders is because the $5 you put down immediately goes to the bank to earn interest. So they make tons of bank on them, and want to put out as many incentives as possible to buy from them.
