They got the early demo. Only it's not for clients, just for workers.

I don't think Steffen's lying. When I called my Gamestop store in Norway to ask about the release date they'd put up on the website (it said 10th), the clerk finished her info with "...and if you pre-order you'll get an amulet-" before I cut her off by telling her I'd already pre-ordered.

Well that may be a Europe thing in the US its not the case just the two items that it shows on the site.

I don't really care what that says i have a an advertisement right here, though play.com is advertising the same, it's also being advertised in Poland http://social.biowar...5820375#5820679 
so don't call me a liar until you know all the facts, the fact that you do says more about you then it does about me, and frankly it's degrating that you apparently can't have a mature approach to an argument.

Oh please, stop with exclusive content.

Alright as I said it must be a europe thing because in the states, thats not the case.

Pheonix, while the website might not show an item, there still is a chance that we will get a preorder bonus for ordering at gamestop.



Sometimes the website does not get updated for a month, it has happened before to me.

Gamestop generally does not announce preorder exclusives until 3 weeks before the game comes out. (At least here in Virginia they wait till 3 weeks out before telling any information)

Some items were never put on the site entirely, I only learned about them when I went to the store itself, they had posters up telling about the preorder items.

Here's the link showing the amulet as the Norwegian Gamestop pre-order item for DA2 PC:

There's a good chance the states get the same, imo.

[pumpkinman13]

Seriously? Most of us are trying hard to ensure we get the STANDARD bonus items and you want more exclusive ones? From Gamestop of all places, who have already been highlighted as personal lapdogs of Bioware/EA.

this.

There is so much pre-order stuff with DA2, do you really need more?

*In Sten's Voice*

Yes.

[Phoenixblight]

Yeah I ordered mine from Gamestop to and the items are the sword and shield. Its not just the site that is my source but friends that work at gamestop and my preorder.

[Guitar-Hero]

Competetive marketing and all that, i don't really see a problem with it as long as it's items your probably going to sell anyway

A retailer still chooses to participate in that promotion.. The only retailer specific item is on the EA store. 


Proof of the retailers having a choice in the promotion:

Sure, but saying no to these promoes is.. Boarderline idiocracy, I haven't seen any one not accepting this promotionel offer.
I don't mean to rag on you but it's hardly exclusive to gamestop

[Jimmy Fury]

I don't think Phoenix was saying Fadeshear and the Lion of Orlais were gamestop exclusive, just that they were all US gamestops had going.

Unless I totally misread the post.... which is possible... it's very early.

I thought that some other sites/store have preorder bonuses?

You know, like the amulet of Ashes on Play.com?

How old is your information?

Actually there is one retailer I know of that is not supporting the offer. Amazon.co.uk. People have been having issues with them.

Ammonite up above showed that the Amulet of Ashes is also available through Norwegian Gamestop so it's not exclusive to play.com

Really? Huh.. I just don't get it.. They are going to loose costumers to people who are supporting it, maybe it's all part of some ellaberate plan to end preorders!
