And pre-order page (http://weblet.square-enix-europe.com/epage.php?id=KL2&lang=en) for Europe.

The limited edition can also be bought regularly at a store right? So do you get the same stuff as when you preorder the game? o.O

Now...somebody put the mother****er on gametrailers too

I'm having difficulty deciding where to pre-order the game. (For the United States)

Amazon has a $10 off a future video game purchase coupon along with a (presumably digital) graphic novel and a purple KALININGRAD 47.

Gamestop has a multiplayer map (Radio Tower) and three guns (Doretta handgun with silencer, US-standard Steel 780 shotgun, and TOQ SBR submachine gun)

Also, I've heard all sorts of weird stuff like "Chinese Costume Masks" as a pre-order bonus but I haven't seen them anywhere.
What do you guys think? Which would you get? (and if anyone knows about those Chinese Costume Masks, please share your brain knowledge)

[ohitspatty]

Best Buy is offering the masks and few guns but no extra map.

[Maximbonne]

This is weird and convoluted. So Amazon has a unique gun, Best Buy has some Masks and a few guns, Gamestop has a Map and a few guns.

...why :confused:

I've read reports on sites that list all of these items as a single pack.

Is there any one store that has every single pre-order bonus?

If not, I think I'll stick with Amazon for their $10 off my next purchase and hope all these bonus items become cheap DLC.

[ohitspatty]

Yeah the whole Limited Edition that EU gets is all split in the US.
It sucks but what can you do? I'm sure the guns + map will eventually be on PSN or XBL fair amount of price.

Fragile Alliance ... the game that begs player to play it in anywya but Fair , needs a "guide" ? ...

Page forty seven will tell you how to sneak out of each round without anyone noticing it , only at the end of the round when they see they have to share their money with one more guy ...

So....couldn't you just preorder from a UK site that ships to North America and get all of the extras?

Depends. It won't work on a 360 cause of the region code but it might work on a PS3 and I don't know if PC games are region coded at all.

However, keep in mind that all the DLCs and what not you will also purchase from UK as it won't match the game with US DLC.

Well I'm on PC and there wouldn't be region coding. Steam only uses the region stuff if they want to limit sales. As for DLC, being downloadable content means the region I purchase from isn't a big deal.

[ohitspatty]

On a PC maybe the DLC doesn't have a region coding, but in case it was a PS3 game, that would be a different story.

[coyote_guy]

Really? I don't get the option to buy "limited edition" and get access to all the content? That's BS.

[coyote_guy]

Unless I can go on XBL the day I get the game to purchase missing content of course...

[BeardedHoplite]

you sure about that?their website still says you get the Greed,Betrayal,& Revenge pack,including the Doretta Silenced,Steel 780 Shotgun,and TOQ SBR sub machine gun but the other guns and masks are not included

[ohitspatty]

Yeah, that's all you get in US. It really sucks how the limited edition got split up between retails.

Here`s my 2 cent worth of story...and its based on a real story:

DONT PRE-ORDER IN DENMARK ;-)

The last game i Pre-order was Borderlands, and i was a happy person !! :rolleyes: - I pre-ordered at COOLSHOP - the cheapest place online to buy games in denmark, now im not sure on the numbers here - but i pre-ordred with a price around 500 danish kr.

So as i understand it, pre-ordering a game is a good game for the company, they know more precise how many games they can get, it also lets you be sure, that your are getting is first hand, - witch never has been a problem in denmark with any game yet..

I pre-ordred like half a year before, and a few days before the games comes out i look at the online shop, theres Bordersland at the price of 400 danish kr. - Nice i think, and i should tell you that coolshop has a prize garanty, they are always going to match any other cheaper prize in denmark.

So i get my game, finding out i payed 500 danish kr. instead of the listed price af 400 kr. ???

I called Coolshop and asked, why i payed 500 instead of 400, this is the reason i got, in my own words :mad2:

By pre-ordering my game, they where able to order a larger quantity, and later on when they order more, they got the game at an even lower prize...
So buy ordering more, and more games, they where able to get the game cheaper, but because i was among the first batch i had to pay the higher prize, they payed for the first batch....instead of the lower prize, witch i could have payed if i did not pre-order:confused:

I complained a little, and i was told that i could send the game back, get another copy and they would send it to me for the lower prize, but standing with game in hand, i was not going to wait a week for that....

Never pre-order in denmark ,its just not worth it...:rolleyes:

[UhUh]

pre-order confusion on joystick (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/10/kane-and-lynch-2s-greedy-bloody-pre-order-bonuses-revealed/), since there's only one package in europe, do we get to have the comic aswell? would be cool.

[sublime90]

i pre ordered from amazon mostly because i had $30 in amazon credit. so half price for K&L2 with a $10 game credit, gun code and comic. cant really beat that.

[n0xreborn]

Does anyone know if the Limited Edition will be available post-release?
Or whether the bonus map,weapons and masks will be available as DLC

I've been wanting to pre-order the Limited Edition but want to wait for reviews.


Will be playing on the PC so is there going to be any dedicated servers?


Should also note i'm in the UK so the pre-order bonus should include all of it, unlike it being split in the US

[IMPYEMU]

I'm not even going to pre-order this, the B.S. of it all isn't worth it, I'm just going to go to the first store I find, buy it, and buy any DLC in the future and I'm sure that'll be just fine.

[ohitspatty]

You know pre-order doesn't "cost" anything in most places, right? You pre-order for let's say five dollars but that money goes toward the price of the game.

[JackGordon]

I was checking out IGN to see if the review was up yet and took a quick peek at the message board where I saw this (http://boards.ign.com/kane_lynch_dead_men/b10651/194926106/p1/?0).

"...when selecting some missions or areas, you can see the map, yet you can't select it, says its a DLC. which means they are going to charge us for something that is already exits, and we might pay for only a patch that will unlock the content from our discs..."

Can someone confirm this?

Of course I know that! :mad2: I'm just saying all the different retailers with their different offers is a annoying and to pick which one specifically is something I could care less about.

Here, this topic (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=112562) might clear things up for you.

[IMPYEMU]

Oh I see now, the DLC maps are visible in the game but not yet available.

[JackGordon]
