NEW Additions to Gamestop preorder

Archive: 70 posts


I just saw a ad on the tv saying for gamestop that not only do you get a kratos costume but now a medusa and minotaur costume as well. I just saw it like two minutes ago but cannot find any info on the internet will post some later when it does.
Now i wonder do you have to go back for more codes or is just one code for all three costumes.

I just saw it on tv of FX 4am here malcolm in the middle was on so i am not lying about them being costumes they might just be for everyone.

when searching try to look for a commercial that had kratos sackboy in it at the very end was the thing about new costumes on that commercial.

I know nothing about this, but I pre-ordered from Gamestop already... I hope that the codes for them are e-mailed along with the Kratos one (I probably wasn't going to use the Kratos sack anyways, I just pre-ordered so I could have the game)

I just checked Gamestop's website but found no info about it.

Don't see anything on it anywhere. I'm looking at the gaming sites I know and see nothing.

Better not be a prank, Cartoonguy. ;]

Yeah, I'm not so sure of the validity of this. I have yet to even see LittleBigPlanet advertised on TV other than the general PlayStation 3 commercials.2008-10-06 17:26:00

I know I'm new here and it might seem suspicous, but I saw this commercial just a little while ago on FX. I was watching King of the Hill and it came on. At first I was like 'cool, Sony finally put out a LBP ad' but then I saw it was a GameStop ad and it caught my eye that they were adding 2 new costumes. I asked a question like this on another forum and they brought me here. Here's (http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=littlebigplanet&thread.id=105361) the thread.

So do you think we'll have to go to GameStop to get the new codes?

Interesting... I've just gotta guess that they haven't updated the site, yet. Really not other answer. (Yay me for having a GameStop preorder!)2008-10-06 19:51:00

Hmm, still don't think any of those pique my interest =P I guess I wouldn't mind if I somehow didn't get them...

Though, it would be proof that you pre-ordered the game, hehe, and it would be interesting seeing some of those characters walking around with bunny ears or something.

Apparently it's the God of War map pack, which would be the one we saw in the trailer (I guess)2008-10-06 22:08:00

Well finally now people won't think i was trying to spread rumors. Didn't hear about the map pack but thats cool. I called my local gamestop and the manager had no idea what i was talking about which is funny the stores don't even know about it while the ads are on.2008-10-06 22:12:00

do you get all these codes the day you pre-order the game or when you go pick the game up?2008-10-06 22:14:00

In the other forum by dark jak someone said the additional things would be given in the form of a voucher when you pick up the game but i cannot confirm or deny if that is correct.

I was thinking couldn't they just add the items onto the kratos download i mean it isn't like we can download it now so they keep the codes the same but add more items onto it.

I'm thinking the same as you cartoonguy..

I mean, all those characters (and maps) are related to Kratos (all greek myths), so maybe it's just one bundle download?

Awesome! I'm glad, personally.

Yep, seriously, Especially considering that I'm a part of the Olympus Zone, so this would be especially good for that... especially if the map pack is Greek realted. Would help, no?

this is cool because i alrdeady preordered the game in anticipation of kratos, but i already preordered...will i still get a chance at the new outfits???

also i do think it is hilarious that the gamestop rep's rarely know what true gamers are talking about, LBP, other stuff etc... i think there should be a requriement to know about games if you work there.

Well, looks like I can forget about the trading deal I had with my friend about the GameStop and Best Buy preorder bonuses.

*throws away Nariko code*

GameStop it is. What if the other places upgraded their deals too?!? For right now, I definitely want those costumes and that level.

Any news on these bonuses from the UK? I picked up my copy of OPM for the Kratos code, no code inserted! Currently waiting to hear back from them to see if they'll give me a new code, but I presume these didn't get thrown in with OPM's Kratos code in the last minute?2008-10-07 08:50:00

This may be a dumb question, but can people give away these costumes in their levels as prizes? I really don't like Gamestop, but I'd play a hard level for a Kratos =)

I really hope my Amazon pre-order gets here on opening week, I want the astronaut costume really bad!

No. What good would a preorder bonus be if you didn't even have to preorder it to get it?

WTF? The Space Suit is free DLC.

They give the good stuff to the absolute worst retailers though, I don't want the costumes enough to give them my money.

Well duh the space suit is free DLC, but if you don't get your copy the first week then you can't get it at all.

I don't understand how the level pack can be exclusive to Gamestop. I can understand the costumes, but what would stop someone from copying it to their planet and then publishing it? Plus, it kind of runs counter to the whole them of sharing

Had you read the quote I had in the very same post that you just quoted me on, then you would have realized that I was merely questioning his thought of the method of obtaining the Space Suit rather than questioning the validity of his statement in disbelief of it as if it did not coincide with the information that I had known to be true.



gamestop... isn't that what this thread is about

You hadn't made that clear in your question, so I did not assume it was the establishment where you had preordered LittleBigPlanet.

Did you give them an email address?

by level pack wouldn't it just be a item or items god of war themed that are made to be unsharable making only the people who download it could use it but anyone could play the level and see or interact with the item.
but i mean i am sure someone could recreate any item or level with the stuff in game so it isn't as special as having more clothing.

Uhm depends. You can't recreate objects such as oranges and other trully 3D stuff. I'm betting you're right, the theme pack will probably include locked items, but they will for the most part be stuff you can't duplicate (this is still just speculation so far!) This makes the most sense to me.

Huh? I don't care to debate your intention, but regardless I'm thoroughly confused now

Argh, I hate how skewed these pre-order bonuses can be. Can't we all get the same stuff for pre-ordering The level pack looks cool.

Wow this is really awesome... and since I'm the Mythology guy around here.... this is amazing for me! anyway I pre-ordered a while ago and I just wanted to clear up that the code for the Kratos costume that I should be getting through my e-mail in a couple weeks... that will also unlock all this new stuff as well right? (this may have been implyed in some other posts, but I would be eternally grateful if somebody could give a definite answer ) anyway thanks in advance guys! 2008-10-09 21:28:00

Why a minotaur and Medusa when there's so many great PS3 characters out there that need to be sackatized?

Like clank, ratchet and so forth.
