*Moderator Edit*

Use this thread to discuss/ask anything regarding pre-orders and orders.
DLC/Bonus Codes, latest retail offers etc...







The release date has been announced as 23 Aug in US/25 Aug in AUS/26 Aug in EU

We need a thread to consolidate and discuss DX:HR official merchandise (exclusive of the game and content of the Collectors Edition).
Should be useful for new members in particular.

Over on EM's official store, we can still purchase the range of earlier DXHR and EM goodies - posters, clothing, bags, keyrings etc.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Limited "Augmented Edition" Detailed

Square Enix today revealed the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Augmented Edition. In addition, two tactical packs will be offered as pre-order rewards to enhance the gameplay experience, including exclusive weapons, a bonus mission and in-game currency.

Summary Of Q&A's

Q: Can I pre-order the Augmented Edition and get all the DLC?
If so, is this game doing one of the region locks? If I buy the U.K. version will I be able to play it on my USA xbox360?

A: Whether to lock the game or not is still up to publisher. For the 360 and Wii, region locks on these platforms have been used more frequently. PLEASE make the relevant enquiries to avoid disappointment.

Q: Will the standard edition have lesser/different versions of the remote explosives (M-28) and the Grenade Launcher or not?

A: Every weapon that's included in the pre-order packs has an analog in the standard game in some form or another. You won't be missing out on the possible functionality if you choose not to get a given pack, but you will lose the presence of these non-upgradeable pre-specialized versions. For example, it's been announced previously that you can mix 'n' match various grenade types with different deployment mechanisms.
You're really not missing out either way when it comes to the weapons. All you get there are some shiny extras. No, the real difference is whether you want the extra mission or the extra credits.
(Jerion)

Q: Will the retail PC release use Steam?

A: Things are pointing that way, but there are no details as yet.

Q: How do I receive the pre-order bonuses?

A: If you have pre-ordered the product you will eligible for the bonus pack.
The method in which you get the pre-order bonus is yet to be verified.

Q: I want the augmented edition but i want to buy the game for onlive. Can I do this?

A: TBC

Q: What about international orders?

A: Try game.co.uk with shipping to other countries.
Beware of platform. 360 games can be region locked, and PC and (usually) PS3 games are not.
Try also, http://www.play-asia.com/ and http://www.shopto.net/

From Fireisprettyful:
EB Games, Canada are selling the augmented edition so i assume other shops are also
LINK
http://www.gamestop.ca/xbox-360/game...edition/308581

Q: I live in the US and have a question concerning the pre-order bonus.
On Amazon, the Augmented Edition does not come with the pre-order bonus while the standard version does.. I feel like any and all versions should have the bonus included if pre-ordered.
When I asked Amazon, they said the Augmented Edition had other incentives, but those are paid incentives and should not restrict purchasers from getting the other content.
Can someone confirm that the Augmented Edition does not come with pre-order exclusives?

A: If you live in the US, the augmented edition only comes with one of the pre-order packs, ie. the one that contains the shotgun and sniper rifle.
If you want the other pack with the extra mission, you'll have to pre-order from Gamestop.
Or, if you're getting it for the PC / PS3, order it from abroad, as outside of the US the augmented edition contains both pre-order packs. Game.co.uk ships worldwide.

I have pre-order the augmented edition by amazon, and it says that I have 2 different packages to choose: one with a shotgun and the other with explosives. When will I be able to choose? Because they didn't give me any actual option.

A: The Explosive Mission Pack is a Gamestop exclusive. In Europe they get both pre-order packs, but in the US Gamestop gets the Explosive Mission Pack and everyone else gets the Tactical Enhancement Pack.

Q: As I live in a part of the world not covered by their preorder sites (South East Asia basically), and I want the augmented pack for the PC, is it:
1) Possible to purchase one from vanilla Amazon.com and still have it work?
2) Necessary to preorder the augmented pack, or will it be available off the shelves? (one option precludes the other basically)
3) Available for preorder some other way?

A:
1) PC games are region free, so wherever you get it from it'll work. However, one thing we do know is that the US augmented edition does not come with all the pre-order content, but the European one does. Try ordering from game.co.uk, they should ship to your location and that way you'll get all the content.
2) Not yet confirmed either way, but at a guess it'll probably be available on store shelves too.
3) You can pre-order on Steam, but no word on whether that gives you all or any of the pre-order content.

In the US you can buy the game with just one of the preorder packs (Gamestop - explosive pack, everyone else - tactical pack). If you want both packs, order your Augmented Edition from abroad (game.co.uk will do the trick). Be aware that X360 games can be region-locked, while PS3 and PC should be ok.

The Explosive Mission Pack is a Gamestop exclusive. In Europe they get both pre-order packs, but the US Gamestop gets the Explosive Mission Pack and everyone else gets the Tactical Enhancement Pack.
Double check on official http://deusex.com/augmented (click on US flag) and on gamestop.com.

US versions include only one pack. Gamestop has Explosive pack, other retailers have Tactical pack. There is no way to have both packs from US retailer.

The only version that contains both packs is European Augmented Edition. If you want both packs, pre-order from Europe.

Q:

On this forum they have discussed the Augmented edition, Collectors Edition and the Regular Edition. There has been no mention of the Limited Edition. I would like to know if the Limited Edition contains both preorder packs.

A:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Deus-Ex-Huma...6328989&sr=8-7
According to this it's just the regular edition with the "Explosive Mission Pack" included.

Q:

Will the pre-order content be put out as DLC post-release?

A: No information, at time of posting.

Q:

What DRM is DX:HR using?

A:Steamworks.


General note: Digital distribution versions of Deus Ex:HR don't come with ingame pre-order content.

Q: Collector's vs. Augmented edition different or same?
So I'm trying to figure out: Are the "Collector's" and "Augmented" editions of DX:HR different?
I pre-ordered the Augmented edition the other day through GameStop because I thought that was the ultimate version with all the bells and whistles a fanboy could want... but is the "collector's" edition the one I really want?
(P.S. I am going to play the PC version, as I do not own a console.)

A:
The CE comes with custom box design, Adam Jensen figure, and ALL the preorder bonuses. Other than that, they are the same.

Now, we realize some, if not all, want everything for the game. That's why we're looking into providing this content to as many people as we can through some other option. As usual, stay tuned.

^ Regarding the extra mission, which is in the Explosive pack. This mission was cut from the game, but then EM decided to put it at least as pre-order bonus.




OTHER UPDATES:



STEAMWORKS

Some games try for the same day simultaneous worldwide, and unfortunately guarenteed you'll get a store or distributor somewhere breaking the date etc..

Steam may be a digital distribution therefore available almost anywhere in the world, but the product they are selling isnt ONLY being sold via them on the web. Retailers will be selling copies too (not everyone can afford to have over 8GB download usage on a single item on their net packages - yes i KNOW some can but not all). Therefore they are following the same retail distribution timing scheme.
Region locks are in place to stop `grey` importing, which whilst consumers may not really care where they get their product from as they just want `A` copy of the game, to the companies who distribute (and ourselves who pay for distribution) each territory has a very different cost base and price to ship to etc and these are reflected in local prices (ask anyone in Tazmania for example about cost of games and they will probably cry as they so expensive to get imported etc)

It’s quite normal for most PC releases to launch on Steam, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the highly anticipated game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution will launch on digital service this August. But to sweeten the deal, we got word from Eidos that not only will the Steam version feature Steamworks functionalities, both the Standard and Augmented Editions of the game will be discounted for those who pre-order either of them. The Standard version will be priced at $44.99 with the Augmented Edition, which includes a digital art-book, trailers, motion graphic novel, soundtrack and free download of Deux Ex: GOTY edition, will be available for $53.99.

Those who fell in love with the first game on PC and have been craving its return should definitely jump at this great deal. Again, Deus Ex: Humuan Revolution releases on August 23rd.

They all NEED Steam to install, activate and work. It's not like "optionally adding a CD-key", it's "installs through Steam if you buy retail". Now download this: http://steampowered.com/steamworks/S...ochure2011.pdf (8MB, page 4). See?

We've known this for a while now. Game needs Steam, and while I wouldn't be against it, I severely doubt they'll put out an alternative version if the game uses Steamworks features like Steam Cloud and Steam Achievements. The press release just pretty much confirmed it even further.

Square Enix announced that Megarom Interactive has been appointed as its local distribution partner for the developer's new releases. These will include a wealth of titles such as Tactics Ogre, Dungeon Siege 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the Final Fantasy franchise.

"Megarom is thrilled to be able to bring Square Enix's new releases to South Africa. This appointment certainly cements Megarom's position as the leading distributor of interactive video games in South Africa," the company said in a press release.

"Square Enix fits Megarom's distribution model perfectly. We are exceptionally proud to form this important partnership to bring new and exciting Square Enix titles to gamers in South Africa," the release read.

Megarom has local distribution partnerships with developers from around the world, including Ubisoft, Codemasters, Lucasarts, Take2, Namco Bandai and more.

Square Enix Offers Cyborg Arm as Prize for Deus Ex Pre-Orders

Also up for grabs is the less exciting prize of nearly $20,000 worth of home theater equipment.

Square Enix has hit upon a fairly unique pre-order incentive for Deus Ex: Human Revolution: If you pre-order the game from GameStop, you have a chance to win a cybernetic arm, as well as a large stack of electronics equipment.

In Human Revolution, Jensen is badly wounded during an attack on the company he works for, requiring cybernetic augmentation in order to survive. The arm in question is a scale replica of one of the mechanical arms that Jensen wakes up with after the attack, which Square Enix says is worth around $1,000. The prize also includes a 3D TV, home theater seating, three gaming consoles, and a $500 GameStop gift card. The total value of the prize is estimated to be around $20,000.

There are a few hoops you'll need to jump through in order to be in with a chance to win the prize however. First and foremost, you'll have to live in the US, meaning that European fans - like me - are out of luck. You'll also need to be a PowerUp Rewards member, although the free subscription will do just fine. You also have to actually buy the game when it comes out before the cutoff date of August 30th.

You can enter by mail as well however, which would seem to bypass many of the aforementioned hoops. To enter by mail you need to send mail a card with your full name, phone number, email address and mailing address to "The Marketing Arm Inc. Attention: "Deus Ex: Augment Your Room Sweepstakes", #140, 233 Rock Road, Glen Rock, NJ 07452."

Even without all the home theater equipment, the arm would be a pretty good prize for a lucky fan. Hopefully the winner will have somewhere special to put the full-sized arm.

GameStop to start selling digital downloads in stores

Why click the mouse a couple times when you can drive to the local GameStop and answer questions about more preorders? GameStop is rolling out support for the digital age.

With the upcoming launch of Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, GameStop is starting up a program to sell digital versions of PC games within the physical locations of the company. While visitors to the GameStop can accomplish the exact same task on the website, customers interested in the game can apply store credit from trade-ins to the purchase of the digital title. This service is being powered by technology from a recent acquisition, Impulse Inc. The Impulse digital distribution platform is a response to the popularity of Steam as well as the move by Electronic Arts to sell games within a proprietary distribution system called Origin.

As an incentive for those that preorder Deus Ex: Human Revolution, consumers will also receive a DLC pack called Explosive Mission, digital versions of the first two games in the series Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition and Deus Ex: Invisible War, double points for GameStop PowerUp Rewards members as well as an entry in the Augment Your Living Room Sweepstakes (GameStop PowerUp Rewards members only). The sweepstakes includes a 3D HDTV, surround sound system, home theater seating, all three consoles and a $500 GameStop gift card.

In order to download Deus Ex: Human Revolution on the release date of August 23, users have to download the Impulse client similar to clients from Steam and EA. Publishers that use Impulse can include digital rights management options to protect its software, but PC gaming consumers are often disparaging against any form of DRM. Similar to Steam, the Impulse software allows publishers to include achievements, chat, friends lists, cloud storage and multiplayer lobbies within games. Publishers also have the ability to add more downloadable content to the game through Impulse as well as have access to analytics around consumers and purchase behavior.

Get your DX:HR "Augmented Beanie" hat!

EB Games recently updated their pre-order bonus to include a Deus Ex Human Revolution Augmented Beanie for those that pre-order the Standard Edition or Augmented Edition. Strange as it seems, the Beanie doesn’t seem to be an extra for those ordering the Collector’s Edition.

The Augmented Beanie seems to include headphone jacks. Could the beanie have earphones embedded in the beanie itself? If so, that’s pretty darn cool.

Its happened. God damn it EM.

It seems these are weapons are featured in the game (Given that they released concept art of the GL and remote explosives) but you just get them straight up. The shotgun might not be included, if it is thats a pretty obscure addition to the weapons.

OnLive Update

GameStop says it will not sell the opened DXHR packages -- in fact, it won't sell any physical copies of the game at all until Square Enix ships GameStop a version without the OnLive coupon. GameSpot will continue to sell its own digital version of the game in its stores and online.

I called the customer service line, and after being put on hold for 15 minutes, the cs rep I talked to told me that the stores should be receiving codes today, and I need to get a code from the store I pre-ordered at. After work, I went back to the same store, and told another employee about all the hassle I've had to go through to get this code. He checked his computer, and I FINALLY got a code, which successfully registered on Steam. So to all Canadians who pre-order Deus Ex at Gamestop/EBGames, be persistent and go back to the stores to get the DLC you are entitled to.

So I need to decide between those two packages? Is there actually a way to get all content? If not than it's bull and screw you EM and Square Enix. Not gonna jump on preorder hype train if I can't get everything.

I don't think a hype train even exists for pre-order content. I'm gonna be severely disappointed if this turns out to be content you can only get with the pre-order.

[Happy]

Welcome to Fallout 3 DLC reboot

[subtlesnake]

So we can't get remote explosives or a grenade launcher unless we pre-order first? That's terrible.

I'm hoping this isn't the case. They released images of those weapons AND the confirmed revolver around the same time.

[Brock]

Corpus, there is hype train on preorder DLCš if they are actually any good but there is real problem, almost always you can't get everything and sometimes you don 't get anything at all because the retailer in your town just su**s So that's why I really don 't like all this.

[nexus]

looks like final cover

[puzl]

It's a terrible practice isn't it? Nothing annoys me more than the game getting chopped into bits and given to different distributors as an incentive to buy from them.

In fact, I have no qualms in admitting I just warez all the content sold individually as a pre-order bonus. Gamers should never get an incomplete game, just because they didn't order early. Ever.

Anyway, if ALL the content is available as a collectors edition (over steam or physical) then i'll just buy that. But no f**cking way am I going to be forced to choose which butchered down version I want.

Same mate. Dragon Age had hideous amounts of pre-order crap. You shouldn't keep game content held back - agreed. It makes it an even bigger pain in the ass if different shops provide different content.

Daft ass practice, that i don't see amounts to any good whatsoever. Still kinda stunned as i type.

what the hell...just what the hell?

Going back to the point of dragon age, after getting all the pre-order content, i couldnt help but notice that it unballances the game from the start. With HR, not being given guns is on thing, but:

(Youtube description) - "...extra credits for augmentations and upgrades."

The game is unbalanced. F*k's sake.

On a side note the game looks really really good in those trailers. And for those going on and on about the gold filter... it's not there underground or in buildings (like when it shouldn't be).

[Fox89]

Bonus stuff with a collector's edition is fine I think. After all, you pay extra to get extra. It looks liek the pre-order bonuses of the standard edition are one half of the content of the collectors each.

THAT is good. If this is stuff that you otherwise wont see in the standard because it's included in the collectors, I have no problem with it. Though how much more will the CE cost, and is it worth it? That's the question...

[Dekieon]

This is a bunch of crap. No one can have the whole game because there are two different pre order packs? You get either the sniper rifle and the shot gun, or you get the remote detonator and the grenade launcher, or you get nothing at all if you don't pre-order the damn thing. How about make a pre order that has stuff that doesn't affect game play at all, like avatar clothing, figurines, 'the making of' video etc. This is a perfect example of a how they are just money hungry and care nothing for the consumers.

If it is true that the collectors edition comes with all of this, then we need more information about that now, not later. I want the whole game, not a piece of it.

Buying the collectors edition just for the motion comic and the art book. Does it have the soundtrack? I'm terrible at french.

THAT is good. If this is stuff that you otherwise wont see in the standard because it's included in the collectors, I have no problem with it. Though how much more will the CE cost, and is it worth it? That's the question...

You aren't paying extra to get extra... you are paying the same amount (but pre-ordering) to keep something in the game that the dev's are taking away from everyone else.

Sounds a lot like kidnapping if you ask me.

Rather than giving us keep-sakes or something interesting (or that actually costs money), they give us back what they took out of the game and make us pay more for it...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I still prefer this version...
