Preorder FAQ - Updated Jan 30th

[hhkaal416]

My Gamestop claims to know nothing about these pre order bonuses:

Beta invite
Outlander outfit
3 day xp boost
In game title Iron Demon
Weapon (although I assume the weapon refers to that spore shot thingy listed on gamestop.com)

How exactly does one go about getting gamestop to honor these bonuses?

Same here, I gone to gamestop yesterday to reserved the game, and the guy said that he didn't know anything about the bonuses, BUT, that is sure that if you reserved the game it will come with some gift, i think that gift can be that bonuses.

I think, that bonuses will come with the game on a card with a code or something, all that bonuses except the beta obviously, how we get the beta then? :S

I preordered from GS yesterday and received a product registration code at the bottom of my receipt. Plugged it in on the defiance site today and it says "Defiance GameStop Pre-Order X360" for the description. Pretty sure these will be the preorder bonuses.

I'd like to get an answer on this as well. All that Gamestop shows for the pre-order bonus on their website is the weapon...absolutely nothing on the outfit, xp boost and title bonuses. Not even an ambiguous 'and other bonuses'.

Also, how is it that Amazon.co.uk has Ultimate Editions for sale when it explicitly states on Trion's pre-order page that it is a Gamestop exclusive. Not that I care for the exclusivity mind you; I just want to be sure that they're not offering something they can't deliver.

If you order from Amazon (UK) you will not get Ultimate edition it's collectors, hence the lowe price. Also you will not get the BETA access because they will not ship the code untill the game has arrived in store and the funds removed from your account.

So currently there is NO way to get Ultimate physical edition in the UK, and europe I guess. GameStop has still not updated their website and are unlikely to send you the bonus code until the game arrives in store anyway.

I've emailed to try and find out if there is anyway to get it, will post up whatever info comes back

Could just be that its changed and not bee updated yet for amazon to have the ultimate one according to the description of the item and whats in it it matches the description on the defiance website. After checking the other websites as well the only one in the uk that mentions the beta code is zavvi and thats only recently been updated to that as it wasnt there when i checked last week so hopefully the rest will update soon. Also the collectors edition is apparently exclusive to game and it mentions nothing of that on the defiance site so again i assume its just something that needs updated.

Are the pre-order lock boxes going to be the same for everyone, or will the item be randomly generated?

[UberPhreak]

I think Trion should make an UE for digital they would get a lot more customers for it. lets see the physical UE is

GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE (most people do not like shoping there. I have not had a problem with them.)
Exclusive Messenger Bag ( most people chould care less)
Collector's Box ( more stuff for the trash man to pick up it looks cool but dont need it.)
Game Client ( ditto)
2 postcards
DEFI Stickers (can do without them)
Ark Infiltrator Outfit (can be on digital so keep it)
The Art of Defiance Art Book (might look at it once dont need it)
Limited Edition Hellbug Figurine (another dust collector dont need it)
VBI Ark Hunter Contract (somthing to look at once agin dont need)
Bonus DVD (dont really care about)
Defiance Digital Soundtrack
Rare VBI Sentinel Shield ( can be on the digital keep it)
'Hydra' rocket launcher (same)
7-Day XP Boost ( turn it to the 30 day boost like the other digital copy or larger to offset the cost.)
7-Day Scrip Boost (same)
"+5" Inventory Space (keep of course)
Exclusive in-game title: Pale Wars Ronin (same)
Lock Box (same)
DLC Season Pass ( and this is probally why I would say 90% of the people are buying the UE so of course have it.)
1200 Bits (keep it)
NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED

of course they would have to tweak the bits and boosts to make it the same price since not getting all the other stuff most people don't really even want. At least that's what I think. you can tell me im wrong but I think a ton of people would jump on this option. I know i would.
