If you're a diehard B.J. Blazkowicz fan looking to pre-order id's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/14/activision-confirms-delay-of-wolfenstein-to-week-beginning-augu/">recently delayed</a> WWII FPS, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wolfenstein"><em>Wolfenstein</em></a>, then know a few outlets are offering exclusive pre-order bonuses. According to the game's <a href="http://www.wolfenstein.com/blog/804">official site</a>, four different retailers will provide extra incentive to pre-purchase:<br />
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&amp;Ntk=TitleKeyword&amp;Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&amp;Ntt=wolfenstein">GameStop</a>: 2,000 in-game gold pieces for multiplayer (also listed for PC)<br /></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&amp;id=pcat17071&amp;type=page&amp;st=wolfenstein&amp;sc=Global&amp;cp=1&amp;nrp=15&amp;sp=&amp;qp=&amp;list=n&amp;iht=y&amp;usc=All+Categories&amp;ks=960">Best Buy</a>: Early access to the Flammenwerfer weapon</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.gamecrazy.com/search/results.aspx?t=wolfenstein">Game Crazy</a>: Limited edition collector's medal</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=wolfenstein&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Amazon</a>: Free copy of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wolfenstein-3d"><em>Wolfenstein 3D</em></a> for PSN or Xbox Live</li>
</ul>
Personally, we think Amazon has the best bonus, but we know full well the appeal of <em>limited edition collector's medals</em>.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/07/wolfenstein-preorder-bonuses-revealed/">VG247</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/07/wolfenstein-pre-order-goodies-revealed/">Wolfenstein pre-order goodies revealed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 07 Aug 2009 18:00:00 EST.

There's been a disturbing <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/06/07/get-peaceful-with-harvest-moon/">lack of</a> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/09/first-look-at-wiis-harvest-moon/">press</a> about <em>Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility</em>. In fact, we've probably seen and heard more about <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/06/rune-factory-frontier-produces-screens-website/"><em>Rune Factory: Frontier</em></a> than we have about <em>Tree</em>, which came out in Japan last year.<br /><br />What we <em>do</em> know is that preordering the title through Amazon will get you an adorable cow plushie. Of course, it's difficult to tell when you'll actually receive the game and plush doll; Natsume lists "Summer 2008," Gamestop lists late July, Gamefly lists early August, and Amazon lists late August, to name a few of the scattered release dates. <br /><br />Still, for <em>Harvest Moon</em> fans who were planning to buy the game anyway, a cute cow plush is a nice bonus that might make preordering through Amazon the best way to go. It's certainly not the greatest gift ever, but we think it will definitely appeal to the <em>Harvest Moon</em> crowd ... mostly because we're in that crowd, and we want one for ourselves.<br /><br />

Adding to the ever-growing list of "cool stuff Japan gets that we don't," Bandai Namco is offering a sweet preorder bonus with <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/tales-of-symphonia/"><em>Tales of Symphonia</em></a>. The RPG, which releases in Japan in late June, will come with a Dramatic DVD for gamers that preorder the title. The DVD will include original animated scenes that add to the game's story, which sounds like a pretty nice extra to us.<br /><br />We're sure the DVD will never see the light of day outside of Japan (officially), so the rest of us will just have to be content to look at screens and pretend that's dramatic. Some <em>new</em> screens might help you with such a task, so just click on the "Read" link below (or the picture above) to check them out.<br /><br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.gemaga.com/2008/05/02/tales-of-symphonia-wii-japanese-pre-order-bonus">Gemaga</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/05/japanese-preorder-bonus-dawns-for-tales-of-symphonia/">Japanese preorder bonus dawns for Tales of Symphonia</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 05 May 2008 23:00:00 EST.
