Insomniac is known for giving away(or sometimes selling) the pre-order bonuses 6+ months after the games release so I'd say yea....eventually

In the Insomniac podcast (Full Moon Show) episode 8/14/2009, at 50:10, they answer a question about the Insomniac museum where they say the preorder bonuses can be unlocked in-game and "it's gonna be well worth it". This is where they say the EU pre-order bonuses are so good that US people will be jealous.

And according to Gamestop''s site, if you pre-order or buy online and pickup in store, you won't get your unlock code until the 23rd of November. Whereas is you reserve and buy in store, you get it at pickup. I'm all about the Bolt one, but apparently it's been pulled from Amazon's site and is no longer listed as part of the pre-order.

I preordered it about 4 days ago and I don't think I got the bonus either.

I'm still predicting Uncharted 2 to take GOTY. It's the first game to claim to use 100% of the PS3's SPU power. It'll be kick ass.

I blew all my preorder money on Uncharted, Modern Warfare and Assassin's Creed, which is too bad cause I really want that extra level from the Gamestop preorder. Gonna have to come up with a clever plan to get it.

Yeah campaign co op would of been great with the extra Lombax. I don't think it would of worked in the story though, maybe something similar to Resistance 2's co op except without a million enemies on screen!

its not that, I just enjoyed the multiplayer for ratchet and clank on the PS2. Deadlocked not so much but UYA was my favorite game in the series. It had the best single player campaign and online was fun. I'm still getting the game but I can wait for a price drop on Amazon.

UYA is the best game in the series, it's easy to understand how it is your favorite.
Personally, I don't like when multiplayer is thrown in just to keep you from trading games, as seems to be the case with a lot of games lately (Uncharted 2). I mean, if you want to play with your friends, you both have to have a copy at the same time, right?

I'm not talking about trading in games, I'm talking about trading games with each other.
For example, as much as I liked Uncharted 1, I never bought it. I bought Ratchet & Clank and my friend bought Uncharted 1 and when we both finished the games, we swapped with each other. This is considered by some developers lost income, so they are putting in multiplayer features to try to convince people not to do this.

Ratchet multiplayer has always sucked to me, so I'm glad they're not forcing it in there. However, R2-style co-op could've been really cool.

I preordered through Amazon a week ago, they didn't offer me anything I don't think.
Not that I mind. The Insomniac podcast said everything that is in the bonuses is available to everyone, you just have to play through to unlock it all. They also said the EU bonuses were the best of all, by far.

See my comment above, I Iocated the comments very specifically in Insomniac's podcast. I realize as I did so that this may just be my own interpretation of what Bryan Intihar said, so maybe you want to listen to it yourself and see if you agree or disagree. It's only a hair over 60 seconds of audio and the podcast is of course free.

Are you kidding?
Ratchet & Clank
Uncharted 2
Forza 3
Brutal Legend
Borderlands
Am I missing anything else in October? It's a good thing Nintendo has nothing coming out or my wallet would be in REAL trouble.

I always thought this was just going to be a small expansion like the last dlc for future. It sounds everyones expecting a full size game. Is this correct? I hope they add the Insomiac Museum this time around. And more breakable evironmental items like in going commando.

This IS a full sized game, not like the last game, Quest For Booty, which lasted like 4 hours.
The Insomniac Museum IS included in the game. If you pre-order from a certain store you'll get immediate access to it, otherwise you'll have to work your way to get there which surely will involve Skill Points and/or Gold Bolts

Thanx Ashitaka. I remember the preorder bonus now. I might prefer unlocking the museum the old fashioned way. I'd rather get rewarded for doing the work than get it handed to me. There's no pay off that way.

Sony needs to learn something from Nintendo. Releasing two triple A titles in one month. Uncharted 2 and R&C in Oct. are they crazy! R&C should be released in Sept. Uncharted 2 should be released in Oct. and Nov. will have both Assassins Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2. Those are my 4th Quarter games I want. Man I'm so fucking broke.

Personally for me R&C is my favorite series in gaming ever. You guys should be ashamed to praise Naughty Doggg over Insom... SHAME lol. Can't wait man this year PlayStation's(Not Sony's) big three pullin' out the big guns. (Insom, ND, Sucker Punch) All these developers are a landmark of PlayStation's roots. It's a toot to see they regularly don't get credit where credit is due.....

I both commend and endorse the pro Ratchet and Clank sentiments in this comment thread.

idk, this year out of all years it wouldn't be an easy decision(especially for me)... y'know with FNR4, inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2, R&C, MW2, Brütal Legend & all it's like the best year for gamers everywhere.FINALLY got a copy of Batman here in Toronto at $38. Man luck I swear.. Had to go out pretty far to grab it & yesterday was the last sale day for all of Canada! WOOT
